What’s included
AI follow-ups
Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.
Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes dedicated risk-likelihood questions on specific passkeys failure modes—account recovery/lost devices, legacy app compatibility, user resistance, and help desk overload—rather than generic security risk items
- Uses ranking questions to force explicit prioritization of both rollout outcomes and where to invest mitigation effort, surfacing cross-functional disagreement
- Includes an AI follow-up interview to probe open-ended perspectives on adoption blockers beyond what closed-ended questions capture
- Segments respondents by department, seniority, tenure, and location so results can be cross-tabbed to see where readiness and concerns diverge across the organization
SurveySparrow
Information Security Risk Assessment QuestionnaireThis is a general information security risk assessment template, not one built around passkeys or passwordless authentication specifically. It's a fielding-ready questionnaire covering broad security risk themes, so teams would need to substantially rewrite or extend it to address passkeys-specific rollout concerns like legacy compatibility or pilot candidate selection.
What it does well
- Ready-to-use structured questionnaire format for security risk topics
- Backed by SurveySparrow's survey platform with standard question types and distribution
- Broad security risk framing that could serve as a starting point for adjacent assessments
Where it falls short
- No passkeys- or passwordless-specific content (dependencies, pilot readiness, rollout metrics)
- Static question set with no adaptive AI follow-up to probe stated concerns in more depth
- No published methodology for how risk questions were scored or weighted
