Bug Bounty Program Management

A bug bounty program invites independent security researchers to find and report vulnerabilities in your products in exchange for rewards. Done well, it gives you continuous, creative testing from many perspectives. Done badly, it buries your team in duplicate, low-quality and out-of-scope reports. Offensium Vault plans, launches and runs your program so you get the value without the noise.

What We Manage

• Program design: scope, out-of-scope assets, rules of engagement, safe-harbour wording and a reward table that matches your risk.
• Platform setup: launching on a public platform, running a private invite-only program, or hosting your own vulnerability disclosure policy (VDP).
• Triage: reproducing every report, removing duplicates and out-of-scope submissions, and rating severity consistently.
• Researcher communication: timely, professional replies so good researchers keep testing your assets.
• Remediation support: clear tickets for your developers and verification once a fix is deployed.
• Reward handling: recommending fair payouts based on impact and your published reward table.

Our Approach

1. Readiness check: we confirm your assets have had a baseline VAPT first, so you are not paying bounties for issues a single test would find.
2. Private launch: a small group of invited researchers tests a limited scope while processes settle.
3. Scale up: scope and researcher numbers grow as your team becomes comfortable with the flow of reports.
4. Ongoing review: regular reports on what was found, how fast it was fixed and where to adjust scope or rewards.

What You Get

• A documented program policy, scope and reward table.
• Validated, de-duplicated findings with severity and reproduction steps.
• Periodic summaries of trends, fix times and program health.

Why Offensium Vault

• Manual, expert-led work: every finding is verified by a tester, not copied from a tool.
• Clear reporting: an executive summary for leadership and step-by-step technical detail for engineers.
• Free retest: we confirm your fixes and issue an updated report.
• ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001 certified processes for handling your data and delivering consistent quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should we run a bug bounty or a penetration test?

Both. A penetration test gives structured, time-boxed coverage; a bug bounty adds continuous testing from many researchers afterwards. We recommend starting with a penetration test.

Can we start with a private program?

Yes. Most organisations begin with a private, invite-only program before opening it to the public.

Do you only triage, or run the whole program?

Either. We can take on triage alone or manage the full program end to end.
