If I completed an older SAQ version, do I have to start a new SAQ 5.0 questionnaire?

No, if you completed a previous SAQ (like SAQ 4.0), your relevant answers are saved and you can update this against version SAQ 5.0. You only need to review existing answers and respond to new or changed questions.

The transition to SAQ 5.0 was designed to preserve your previous work. When you choose to 'Update' an existing questionnaire, the system pre-fills answers from your last questionnaire submission, where applicable. You'll encounter a mix of your old answers to review and new questions reflecting updated requirements (e.g. environmental and human rights focus).

To update an older version of a questionnaire

  1. Sign in to your NQC account.
  2. Find the completed questionnaire on your dashboard (use filters and search if needed).
  3. Select the 'Update' button on the questionnaire tile.
  4. Progress through the questionnaire, edit the answers that you want to change and respond to new or modified questions offered in the SAQ 5.0 version of the questionnaire.
  5. Once you have made all the updates needed, make sure you submit your SAQ 5.0 questionnaire response for validation in order to receive an updated SAQ 5.0 Rating.
