Safeguard
Community · Security Researchers

Hunt our own code. Responsible disclosure, public credit.

Researchers are welcome to look at the platform itself. Report what you find, we fix it, and with your consent we credit you in the Hall of Fame. We do not pay for findings.

Programme scope

What is in and out of scope.

Social engineering of Safeguard staff or contractors
Denial-of-service or volumetric attacks
Physical attacks against Safeguard premises or staff
Third-party integrations not owned by Safeguard
Recently disclosed issues already in our advisory feed
Severity and recognition

How we rate what you find.

Severity decides how fast we fix. It does not change what you get: every valid report is credited, and none is paid.

SeverityExamples
CriticalRemote code execution against the control plane; cross-tenant data exposure; weight-signing key compromise.
HighAuthentication bypass; significant authorisation flaw; recovery of secrets from logs or storage; CSRF on a sensitive action.
MediumReflected XSS with practical impact; SSRF against an internal but non-sensitive surface; lesser tenant-data leaks.
LowSelf-XSS with a believable trigger; rate-limit weaknesses; minor information disclosure; misconfigurations with limited impact.
InformationalBest-practice findings, hardening suggestions, theoretical issues without a working PoC, and useful research write-ups.

Duplicates are credited to the first reporter. Aggregated low-severity findings may be combined at our discretion.

How to report

Four steps, one inbox.

  1. 01

    Reproduce in your own sandbox

    Sign up for a free sandbox tenant and work only against resources you own. Do not test against another customer's tenant or production data under any circumstances.

  2. 02

    Email security@safeguard.sh

    Send a detailed write-up: affected component, reproduction steps, impact, and your PGP key if you want encrypted correspondence. Include a working PoC where applicable.

  3. 03

    Acknowledge within 1 business day

    We acknowledge inbound reports within one business day. You will hear from a Safeguard security engineer, not an autoresponder, with the next steps and an internal tracking ID.

  4. 04

    Triage, fix, public credit

    We triage, agree a remediation timeline, ship the fix, and publish public credit in the Hall of Fame with your consent and chosen handle.

Hall of fame

Credit where it is due.

Credited on every fix

The hall of fame is updated once a fix ships, with researcher consent. We use the handle, attribution and link you specify, or no attribution at all if you prefer to stay private.

It also lists honourable mentions, and the breach claims that turned out to be one of our decoy sandboxes. For technical write-ups of remediated findings, by us and by researchers, see /research. We publish the analysis once the fix is in customer hands.

Safe harbour

Good-faith research is protected.

Our commitment

Good-faith researchers operating within this programme are not pursued legally by Safeguard. We will not initiate or support legal action against researchers who respect scope, avoid disruption of customer environments, and report findings to security@safeguard.sh.

Safe harbour does not cover public disclosure before a fix, or false claims about our security in any medium. The full terms, including the legal notice on unlawful disclosure and defamation, are in the Responsible Disclosure Policy.

Found something? Tell us.

One business day to acknowledge. A real engineer in the loop. Public credit, and a fix that lands.
