SaaSFort External security scan for a security questionnaire response
A customer or partner sent a security questionnaire and every day it sits unanswered risks the deal. Most technical rows in a DDQ, SIG, or custom form ask about externally-observable controls: TLS version, certificates, headers, DNS configuration, exposed services. A scan turns those rows from hours of manual documentation into a five-minute pass with a dated PDF you can attach.
What the scan proves here
Evidence rows, not self-assertions
TLS, HSTS, certificate details, DMARC, SPF, and exposed-service rows are filled from scan output rather than written from memory.
A dated, attachable PDF
Procurement teams want something they can file, not a pasted paragraph. A timestamped report closes the verification loop before it opens.
ISO 27001 and NIS2 control language
Findings map to the frameworks most questionnaires are written against, so the reviewer sees familiar control names.
Fast turnaround on repeat questionnaires
Re-scan before each new questionnaire so your answers reflect your live posture, not a six-month-old snapshot.
Why it matters
Security questionnaire backlog is one of the most common reasons a B2B deal slips a quarter. Answering the external section accurately in under an hour keeps the timeline intact.
Turn the scan into a dated PDF for €39
The free scan shows your grade on screen. The Audit Pack adds the control-mapped PDF, 90 days of re-scans, and a dated attestation, the artifacts this situation actually calls for.
Frequently asked questions
What parts of a security questionnaire can a scan answer?
The externally-observable technical sections: TLS and cipher configuration, certificate validity and chain, HSTS and other HTTP security headers, DMARC and SPF, DNSSEC, and any exposed administrative interfaces. It does not cover internal-policy questions like access reviews, training records, or HR controls.
My questionnaire asks about penetration testing. Does a scan count?
No. A penetration test is a manual engagement by a security firm. The scan covers continuous external-posture checks. It answers the configuration and header rows, not the pen-test attestation row.
How do I share the results with the questionnaire sender?
Export the PDF from the scan results page and attach it to the questionnaire. Most procurement teams accept a dated external-posture report as supporting evidence for the technical section.
