to be understood and investigated

Allow a reasonable opportunity for
investigation and remediation before public
disclosure

Public Disclosure
Researchers are requested not to publish or
otherwise disclose vulnerability details before
Compteck Solutions has had a reasonable
opportunity to investigate and address the
reported issue.
Some issues may require additional time where
remediation depends on system complexity,
suppliers or third-party technology.
No Bounty Commitment
Submission of a vulnerability report does not
create an entitlement to payment, reward,
employment, contract or other compensation unless
Compteck Solutions expressly agrees otherwise in
writing.
Good-Faith Reports
Reports made genuinely, responsibly and in
accordance with this policy will be treated as
good-faith security communications.
This policy does not authorise activity that is
unlawful or outside the scope described above.
Third-Party Systems
This policy applies only to systems and services
operated or controlled by Compteck Solutions
unless another system is expressly identified as
being within scope.
Third-party services, platforms and infrastructure
remain subject to the security and disclosure
policies of their respective operators.
Changes to this Policy
Compteck Solutions may revise this policy when its
systems, services, security practices or applicable
requirements change.
The version available on this website represents
the applicable Responsible Disclosure Policy.
