When something fails

Every system eventually fails somewhere. What separates an institution worth trusting from one that is not is entirely in what happens in the hours afterwards.

Report anything to security@re-birth.ai. Encrypted reports are welcome; ask for the key in the first message.

ACKNOWLEDGE
72 hours

A person replies, not an autoresponder.

TRIAGE
7 days

Severity assessed and shared with the reporter.

FIX OR PLAN
30 days

Resolved, or a dated plan published.

PUBLIC REPORT
90 days

Disclosure, with credit where wanted.

Safe harbour

  • Good-faith research under these terms will not be met with legal action.
  • Test only against your own accounts and data.
  • Do not access, modify or retain another person's data. Stop at proof.
  • No denial of service, spam, social engineering or physical intrusion.
  • Give us the response window above before publishing.

Current practice

DATA IN TRANSIT
TLS everywhere. No exceptions for internal traffic.
DATA AT REST
Encrypted storage; access to production data is logged and attributable.
ACCESS CONTROL
Row-level authorisation on every public table; least privilege by default.
SECRETS
Held in managed secret storage, never in the codebase, rotated on personnel change.
DEPENDENCIES
Automated scanning; known-vulnerable dependencies block a release.
BACKUPS
Point-in-time recovery, restore tested rather than assumed.

Incidents

None to report. When there is one, it appears here and in the Journal with what failed, who was affected, what changed, and the timeline — not a paragraph written to minimise it.
