The Archer Question Library is a centralized repository of questions used to build questionnaires. According to the Questionnaires and Assessment Maintenance curriculum, the "Out of the Box" (OOTB) content provided by Archer is modular. When an organization licenses a specific Use Case (e.g., IT Security Risk Management, Third Party Governance, or Business Continuity), the relevant question sets for those domains are imported into the library.
For example, an organization that only licenses Third Party Governance will have a Question Library populated with vendor-related assessments (like SIG or ISO-based questions), but they will not see Business Continuity-specific questions unless that use case is also licensed. This ensures that the platform remains uncluttered and relevant to the specific business needs of the organization. The deployment option (On-Premise vs. SaaS) and the support model have no impact on the actual metadata content of the library; it is strictly driven by the licensed functional modules.
