Tugboat Logic integration
Compliance & GRC
Auditors for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and similar frameworks increasingly expect evidence that you continuously monitor your external attack surface — not a once-a-year scan. FortWatch continuously discovers and triages internet-facing exposures (open ports, unauthenticated databases, public cloud buckets, expiring TLS, DNS gaps, exposed secrets), and feeding that into Tugboat Logic (now OneTrust Certification Automation) turns each scan into timestamped audit evidence for your vulnerability-management and external-monitoring controls. The result is a living compliance record instead of a manual screenshot scramble the week before your audit.

View finding & step-by-step fix →Tugboat Logic + FortWatch
When it launches, FortWatch will connect to Tugboat Logic through its Evidence Collection API and custom evidence API builder — the same mechanism Tugboat Logic uses for automated evidence from third-party tools — with webhook delivery as a lightweight alternative. You map FortWatch scan results to specific Tugboat Logic controls (for example, your vulnerability-management, continuous-monitoring, or perimeter-security controls), and FortWatch periodically submits structured evidence to those controls: the asset scanned, scanners run, findings by severity, remediation status, and a scan timestamp. Each completed scan posts a fresh evidence artifact so the control's collection cadence stays satisfied automatically, and resolved findings can update the same control to show exposures were detected and closed. No agents and no Tugboat Logic-side scripting — FortWatch handles formatting and submission so the evidence lands in audit-ready form.
FortWatch scans
Eleven scanners watch your external attack surface around the clock — ports, certs, DNS, cloud buckets, exposed files and more.
AI triages the finding
Each issue is scored by real-world impact and packaged with the affected asset and a one-line explanation of the risk.
Delivered to Tugboat Logic
The finding lands in Tugboat Logic, routed by severity — so the right people see the right alert, fast.
What you'll be able to do
Everything the Tugboat Logic integration will bring to your security workflow.
Auto-collect evidence for vulnerability-management and external-monitoring controls so you stop manually screenshotting scan results before every SOC 2 / ISO 27001 audit
Prove continuous external scanning cadence to auditors with timestamped FortWatch evidence attached to the relevant Tugboat Logic control
Map specific exposure classes — exposed databases, public cloud buckets, expiring certificates — to the controls they support (access control, encryption-in-transit, configuration management)
Show remediation lifecycle in your compliance record
a finding detected, triaged by severity, and resolved, all reflected as updated control evidence
Reduce audit prep time by keeping perimeter-security and continuous-monitoring controls populated automatically between audit cycles
Give security and GRC teams a shared source of truth — the same FortWatch findings drive both remediation work and the evidence your auditor sees
What an alert looks like
Every finding arrives formatted for Tugboat Logic — severity up front, the affected asset, and a one-line explanation of why it matters, with a link straight to the step-by-step fix.
- Severity-tagged and color-coded
- The exact asset and port affected
- One click to the full finding & remediation

Set it up in minutes, once it lands
No agents, no infrastructure changes — just connect Tugboat Logic and choose where alerts go.
When it launches, connect FortWatch to Tugboat Logic using your Evidence Collection API credentials (or generate a webhook endpoint from the custom evidence API builder)
In FortWatch, map each scanner or severity tier to the Tugboat Logic control(s) it supports — for example, port and database findings to vulnerability management, TLS findings to encryption-in-transit
Choose your submission cadence so evidence is posted on a schedule that satisfies each control's required collection frequency
Pick the assets in scope and confirm the evidence format (per-scan summary, findings list, and remediation status) matches what your auditor expects
Run a test scan to confirm evidence lands on the correct control in Tugboat Logic, then enable continuous submission
Why route FortWatch into Tugboat Logic?
Frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 reward continuous, documented monitoring over point-in-time effort — but most teams still gather perimeter evidence by hand right before the audit, which is slow and easy to get wrong. Piping FortWatch findings into Tugboat Logic keeps your external-monitoring and vulnerability-management controls populated automatically with timestamped, defensible evidence. You spend audit season reviewing, not reconstructing, and your compliance record reflects what your attack surface actually looks like in real time.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Tugboat Logic integration available now?
Not yet — it is in active development and listed as Coming Soon. The mechanisms described here (Evidence Collection API, custom evidence API builder, and webhook delivery) reflect how the integration is being built against Tugboat Logic / OneTrust Certification Automation. Add your email on this page to be notified the moment it goes live.
Which compliance controls can FortWatch evidence support?
FortWatch findings map naturally to vulnerability-management, continuous/external-monitoring, configuration-management, and encryption-in-transit controls across frameworks Tugboat Logic supports such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001. You decide the exact control mapping during setup; FortWatch supplies the timestamped scan evidence, and your GRC team aligns it to your specific control language.
Will every scan create new evidence, or only when something changes?
You control the cadence. FortWatch can submit a fresh evidence artifact on each completed scan to keep a control's collection frequency satisfied, and it can also update existing evidence when a finding is remediated — so your record shows both that you scan continuously and that exposures get closed.
