Clarity in policy
Establishing clear policies is essential. It indicates what kind of behavior is expected and which vulnerabilities are eligible for rewards, and it provides details on the responsible disclosure process. Clarity in these policies reduces ambiguity and helps researchers understand how they should proceed. The following points detail how clarity in policy may be achieved:
- Establishment of detailed policies: Clearly define the rules and expectations of the failure reward program. This specifies which behaviors are acceptable and which are not and details the types of vulnerabilities that are eligible for rewards, as well as those that are outside the scope of the program.
- Responsible disclosure: Provides clear guidelines on how researchers should report vulnerabilities in a responsible manner. This may include instructions on who to contact, what information to provide, and how to avoid taking actions that could damage systems.
- Definition of scope: Clearly...
