Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure

A Vulnerability Disclosure Policy (VDP) is the foundation of any mature cybersecurity program. It provides a clear, structured channel for security researchers and the public to report vulnerabilities they discover — without fear of legal repercussions. BugBounty.am helps organizations establish and manage responsible vulnerability disclosure programs that align with international best practices, including ISO 29147 and the CERT Guide to Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure.

How Responsible Disclosure Works

A researcher discovers a vulnerability and submits it through your BugBounty.am disclosure portal. Our platform validates the submission, triages it by severity, and notifies your security team with full technical details. You remediate the issue within an agreed timeline, and the researcher is acknowledged for their contribution. The entire process is tracked, documented, and auditable — giving you full visibility and control.

01

Provide a secure, dedicated channel for anyone — security researchers, customers, or employees — to report vulnerabilities in your systems. Structured intake ensures every report is captured with the right detail from the start.

02

Protect good-faith security researchers with a clear Safe Harbor policy. Researchers who follow your disclosure guidelines are shielded from legal action, encouraging more people to report issues responsibly rather than exploit or ignore them.

03

Define clear timelines, communication protocols, and expectations for both your team and the reporting researcher. Our platform manages the entire lifecycle — from initial report through validation, remediation, and public disclosure if appropriate.

04

Demonstrate your commitment to security to regulators, customers, and partners. A public VDP signals maturity and transparency — increasingly expected by frameworks like NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and national cybersecurity regulations across the region.
