Detailed Review
Steerlab SAS (SIREN 979285681, registered in Paris in August 2023) sells an AI platform that answers RFIs, RFPs and security questionnaires. It generates responses from an auto-managed content library, tracks progress and collaboration, and offers extensions through a Chrome extension, a Slack bot and a co-pilot, plus built-in connectors to source data. It is a response tool, so it sits next to Xait and Tendium rather than Offorte.
On security, the vendor states that data is stored in AWS regions in Europe and replicated across regions within Europe, encrypted at rest with AES-256, with tenant isolation, MFA and SSO, and says it is SOC 2 assessed against all five Trust Services Criteria. That is the most specific security statement on this page. Its terms are governed by French law with non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Paris courts.
No price list is published; the site offers "your first RFP or questionnaire is on us" and a try-for-free path, and otherwise a demo. As a company founded in 2023 it has a short track record, and its alternatives page positions it directly against Responsive (formerly RFPIO), so expect it to be evaluated against those larger US tools.

Where Steerlab falls short
- No published price list
- Founded in 2023, with a short track record
- Not a sales proposal or quoting tool

Standout feature. The only tool here that states its own SOC 2 assessment alongside European-only AWS regions.
