Frequently asked questions
Does SecuScan fully replace Tenable Nessus?
For most Québec and Canadian SMBs, yes. SecuScan covers the essentials of external vulnerability management (EASM), authenticated scanning and AI-driven finding prioritization. Tenable remains relevant for very large enterprises with deep internal scanning requirements, but for organizations under 500 employees, SecuScan offers better value and sovereign hosting.
Where is my data hosted?
All your SecuScan data is hosted at OVH Beauharnois (Québec). No data leaves Canadian territory and we natively comply with Québec Law 25. Tenable mainly operates in the United States and is subject to the CLOUD Act.
How does migration from Tenable work?
We onboard every new team for free: asset import (CSV or API), scan profile replication and a 1-hour initial training. The learning curve is typically shorter than on Tenable because the interface targets mixed IT/security teams.
Which tools are bundled in SecuScan?
SecuScan orchestrates 23+ leading open-source tools: Nuclei (vulnerability templates), OWASP ZAP (web scan), nmap (network), testssl.sh (TLS/SSL), subfinder/amass (enumeration), nikto, sslyze and more. Everything is auto-updated by our team and results are normalized via AI.
Is the pricing really in CAD?
Yes. All billing is in Canadian dollars, with no hidden FX fees. Tenable bills in USD, which can mean a 25-35% premium for a Québec SMB depending on the exchange rate.
