FAQ-000919 - External Service Security Testing / Scan Configuration and Setup

Common reasons for a web application scanner being unable to verify ownership of a target site include: 1. Missing specific verification files or tokens required by the scanner. 2. Improper domain or site configuration preventing the scanner from accessing and verifying ownership. 3. Lack of proper permissions to scan the site. 4. Security settings, such as firewalls or access restrictions, blocking the verification process. 5. Attempting to verify a staging or non-production environment that isn't publicly accessible. To resolve this, review the scanner's documentation and ensure all prerequisites for verification are met.

The FAQ content addresses external web application scanner configuration issues for site ownership verification, which is a general web security testing topic rather than Salesforce-specific security. After reviewing all available security rules, none directly relate to external web application scanner ownership verification processes. The rules focus on Salesforce-specific security issues like Apex security vulnerabilities, authentication, CRUD/FLS violations, XSS prevention, and Salesforce platform-specific security concerns. The only minor improvement recommended is replacing the contraction 'is not' with 'isn't' in point 5 to align with the conversational tone guidelines that encourage the use of contractions for a more natural, friendly voice. No security rules were selected because the FAQ discusses external scanner setup and configuration, which falls outside the scope of the Salesforce platform security rules provided. The content is accurate and helpful for AppExchange developers dealing with external security testing tools, but it doesn't relate to code-level security issues that the available rules address.
