Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP) Setup
Key takeaways
- Scope, price band and delivery date are agreed in writing before any testing starts.
- Every finding ships with a reproduction step and a concrete fix, not a tool name.
- A one-page plain-English summary is included so non-technical decision makers can act.
- A retest after remediation is included and lists each finding as closed, partial or open.
- The report states what was tested and what was not, so you know the limits of the result.
What the engagement includes
A way for researchers to tell you about a flaw before they tell the world. The concrete scope depends on your estate, and we set it out line by line in the rules-of-engagement document before we begin.
- Disclosure policy and safe harbour legal wording
- Public security.txt and a monitored reporting channel
- Scope definition that is safe to publish
- Triage workflow, severity matrix and response-time policy
- A template for the researcher acknowledgement and disclosure timeline
What you receive
- Published policy, security.txt and intake channel
- Safe harbour wording ready for your counsel
- Triage runbook for your engineers
- First-disclosure report template
How the engagement runs
Every engagement follows the same sequence, because the sequence is what makes the result defensible. First a scoping call, where we look at your systems and tell you what a useful test would cover. Then a written rules-of-engagement document naming every system, every date, the test window, the contact, and what is explicitly out of scope. You sign it, we sign it, and both sides keep a copy. Testing happens only inside that window. Then the report, then your fixes, then the retest.
| Stage | What happens | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Scoping | A call and, where needed, a short technical discovery | A written scope and a fixed price band |
| Authorisation | Rules of engagement signed by both parties | A document for your legal and insurance files |
| Testing | Manual and AI-assisted testing inside the agreed window | A live finding log you can ask about at any point |
| Reporting | Technical report plus a one-page executive summary | Prioritised findings with reproduction steps and fixes |
| Remediation | Your team fixes, we answer questions during the work | Support while the fixes are in flight |
| Retest | We re-test what we raised | A retest certificate per finding |
How we price it
₹35,000 – ₹1,20,000 is the indicative band for a typical scope of this type. The final figure depends on the number of assets, the depth of authentication, the number of environments, and whether the engagement includes remediation support. We quote a fixed price, not an hourly one, and we confirm it in writing before work starts.
