Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my backend fails certification?
You receive a detailed gap report with specific test failures and remediation guidance. One recertification round is included within 30 days at no additional cost.
How long is the certificate valid?
Standard certificates are valid for 12 months. Enterprise tier includes continuous recertification with every release.
Can I verify evidence independently?
Yes. All evidence bundles include cryptographic signatures that can be verified offline without any SoftQuantus infrastructure. We provide public keys and verification tools.
Do you support on-premises testing?
Yes. The Vendor Pack includes a test runner that executes entirely in your environment. Only the final report is sent for certification.
