Vulnerability Disclosure Programs (VDPs): A Comprehensive Guide

Published by Hackerone

A Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP) is essential for cybersecurity, compliance, and proactive risk management, providing organizations with a structured way to receive, assess, and remediate security vulnerabilities reported by external researchers. This guide outlines the five key components of a VDP: a promise statement, safe harbor policies, process description, scope definition, and transparency standards. With regulations like NIST, ISO 27001, and PSTI mandating disclosure programs, companies must integrate VDPs into their security strategies. Implementing a VDP enhances threat visibility, strengthens trust with ethical hackers, and improves security posture before attackers exploit vulnerabilities.
