IP allowlisting: how to answer it in a security questionnaire

Usually asked as: “Does your application support IP allowlisting for user authentication or API access?”

Updated

What is IP allowlisting?

IP allowlisting restricts access to a system so only requests from approved IP addresses or ranges get through. Buyers often use it to limit an app to their office network or VPN. It was once called whitelisting.

What the buyer is really asking

Buyers want to limit access to your app or API to their own network ranges. This is a product feature question, so if you do not support it, say so.

Other ways buyers ask it

Every one of these wants the same answer:

  • “Do you support IP allowlisting?”
  • “Can we restrict access to our corporate IP ranges?”
  • “Can API access be limited by source IP?”

Evidence to have ready

  • Product documentation for network restrictions, if offered

How Tyrvar answers this

Tyrvar treats every wording above as one question. You write the answer once, attach the evidence, and revisit it when your setup changes. Each buyer gets that approved answer no matter how their questionnaire words it. If you have not answered it yet, Tyrvar flags the question for you and does not make something up. Try it on your own questionnaire.
