Application security testing (SAST and DAST): how to answer it in a security questionnaire

Usually asked as: “What application security testing do you perform (SAST/DAST)?”

Updated

What the buyer is really asking

Which kinds of testing do you actually run: static analysis, dynamic scanning, dependency scanning, third-party penetration tests? Name the tools and how often each runs. Be plain about anything you do not do yet.

Other ways buyers ask it

Every one of these wants the same answer:

  • “What application security testing do you perform?”
  • “Do you perform SAST and DAST?”
  • “Do you conduct penetration tests?”
  • “Can you share your latest pen test report?”

Evidence to have ready

  • Scanner configuration in CI
  • The most recent penetration test summary, if one exists
  • Remediation records for findings

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.
