No longer optional

Vulnerability Disclosure Programs (VDPs) are now an industry standard (and are often mandated by regulation, such as BOD 20-01) for proving a public commitment to a strong security posture. A complement to bug bounties and penetration testing, VDPs allow anyone on the internet to altruistically report any vulnerability they’ve found, and for program owners to implement guidelines and best practices for their intake, management, and disclosure.

Adoption of a VDP is visible proof that your organization understands the inevitability of vulnerabilities, and is committed to security transparency. But, most organizations lack the resources or expertise to stand up and manage a VDP on their own.

Pain-free VDP at your pace

The solution is a fully managed VDP on the Bugcrowd Platform. Bugcrowd’s VDP solution–adopted by CISA as the standard for U.S. civilian Federal agencies–includes vulnerability intake and tracking, continuous validation and triage, and program support, as well as developer tool integrations to accelerate discovery and remediation.

You get all the benefits of a well-run VDP, with none of the hassles and overhead of managing a program yourself. And, you can choose a price and entry point that makes sense for you.
