Charge extra, or rather tell the company they need the enterprise pricing plan, to make it worth the time investment. Companies with those questionaires are used to suppliers pushing back, charging extra or dropping out (either not returning the questionaire or answering insuffiently). It's part of dealing with enterprise B2B clients. I had to sign anti-slavery and anti-human-traffiking statements...

Some questions you won't agree with, e.g. I've been asked how often we change our wifi passwords. Better to be honest and let them assess the risk than overpromising.

For a customer we absolutely would. We aren’t charging and vice-versa as integrating is value added for both parties. They could double our usage so we’ll work on security for a week to get a passing score and then submit the questionnaire. Thx
