FAQ
Cloudflare Security Insights is free. Why pay for this?
Security Insights is useful, and it comes with every Cloudflare plan, even Free. It does not include an analyst-led report or help with fixes. On one account we tested, it showed 6 suggestions. Our review found 30 items, and 22 of those were not in Security Insights. That was one account, so yours will differ. Our report also notes whether Security Insights shows each item.
We already run a free scanner. Do we need this?
You can keep running it. On our test account, one popular free scanner matched us on basic zone settings. It also flags SSL "Full" versus "Full (strict)," which we don't check yet. Neither free scanner found our API token, Worker secret, or AI spend limit issues on that account. Our review covers that account layer. A person also checks each finding before it reaches you.
Why would we give you an API token?
The token is read-only, so it cannot change anything. You create it yourself, with a 7-day expiry and an IP limit if possible. You can revoke it at any time. We never ask for a token that can make changes. We also sign a scope and authorization letter before we start.
Is this a penetration test?
No. It is a configuration review. We do not attack your apps, run scans, or try to log in.
What do the outside checks do to our website?
They are light. We run public DNS lookups, a few TLS handshakes, and one web request per proxied host. That is about the same as a browser visiting your homepage.
Will you help fix the problems you find?
Only if you want us to. With the fixes add-on, you approve each change in writing. We walk your team through each fix on a live screen-share, with step-by-step instructions. We never need write access. Each change has an undo step and a check afterward. You can also make the fixes yourself using the report.
We use Microsoft 365. Does that matter?
Our email checks cover Microsoft 365, Google, Zoho, and Proton. Some Microsoft 365 records are unproxied on purpose. We list those apart so they don't count as problems.
Is Secure Data Solutions part of Cloudflare?
No. "Works with Cloudflare" describes the platform we review. Secure Data Solutions is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cloudflare, Inc.
