Security is part of the product

Vulnerabilities are disclosed, incidents are reported with a timeline, and neither waits for a news cycle.

Every system will eventually fail somewhere. What separates a trustworthy institution from an untrustworthy one is entirely in what it does in the hours afterwards.

THIS RULES OUT

  • No quiet patching of an issue that affected people's data.
  • No legal pressure applied to good-faith researchers.
  • No incident description written to minimise what happened.

HOW TO CHECK US

  • A published disclosure route with a stated response window.
  • Incident reports include what failed, who was affected and what changed.
