# Responsible disclosure and vulnerability reporting

Security is a shared responsibility. If you identify a vulnerability or security concern affecting Glesys, report it so the issue can be addressed. This document describes the reporting process, scope, and what to expect during handling.

## How to report a vulnerability

If you discover a potential issue, email <security@glesys.com> with:

* A description of the vulnerability
* Steps to reproduce it
* Technical details or proof of concept
* Your contact information

Glesys aims to respond within one business day and will provide updates during the investigation and remediation process.

## Scope

Reports are accepted for:

* Glesys-owned infrastructure, systems, and services
* Production services operated directly by Glesys

Out of scope:

* Customer-owned systems or services
* Third-party integrations
* Test/staging environments
* Common low-impact issues such as missing HTTP headers, SPF/DMARC misconfigurations, or self-XSS

## Responsible research guidelines

To ensure a controlled process, researchers should:

* Avoid testing production systems without permission
* Not access or interact with customer data
* Not use denial-of-service methods, social engineering, or physical intrusion
* Avoid automated scanning that may impact availability
* Act lawfully and in good faith

Test environments are not provided, so activity must be conducted with minimal impact.

## Recognition

Valid, high-impact reports may be acknowledged privately. In some cases, and depending on severity, a small reward or token of appreciation may be offered. Severity is assessed using industry-standard methods such as CVSS v3.1. Glesys does not operate a public hall of fame or a formal bug bounty program.

## Legal safe harbor

If research follows this policy and is conducted in good faith:

* Glesys will not pursue legal action
* Activity will be treated as authorized under this policy
* Glesys will collaborate to resolve the issue

This applies only to lawful activity.

## Privacy and data protection

Researchers should avoid handling personal data. If personal data is accessed unintentionally:

* Stop immediately
* Do not copy or distribute the data
* Notify Glesys
* Delete the data if requested

Glesys complies with GDPR and ISO/IEC 27001 and expects adherence to applicable privacy requirements.

## Coordinated disclosure

Glesys does not publicly disclose vulnerabilities until a fix is in place and risks have been reviewed. In some cases, coordinated disclosure with the reporting party may be arranged.
