Scope design
What to include, what to exclude and why. Scope that is too narrow attracts nobody; scope that is too broad buries your team in reports about assets you do not care about.
Bug bounty & VDP advisory
Most programmes fail the same way: scope too narrow to be interesting, rewards too low to attract talent, and triage too slow to keep it. We have spent four years on the researcher side of that relationship, and we know exactly what makes good people leave.
Built by someone on the other side of it
Abhinav has reported and resolved 98 vulnerabilities across 96 organisations since 2021, and ranks #3 in India on the HackerOne quarterly leaderboard. That means we have seen a great many programmes from the inside — the ones that attract serious researchers, and the ones that quietly repel them.
The difference is rarely the reward table alone. It is response time, consistency of severity decisions, whether duplicates are handled fairly, and whether the scope contains anything worth attacking. We help you get those right before you launch, because a programme's reputation among researchers is set in its first few months and is expensive to repair afterwards.
Engagement
What we help you build
Severity & reward tables
A published table that matches your real risk appetite and your market, so researchers can predict what a finding is worth before they spend a weekend on it.
Safe harbour policy
Clear legal language telling researchers what is authorised, so good-faith testing does not turn into a legal problem for either side.
Triage workflow
Who reads a report first, how severity is decided, how duplicates and disputes are handled, and what your internal SLA is at each step.
Triage support
Optional ongoing help: we validate incoming reports, confirm or challenge severity, and hand your engineers a reproducible case rather than a raw submission.
Programme health review
Already running a programme? We review it as a researcher would, and tell you plainly why your submission quality is what it is.
FAQ
Questions about this service
Should we start with a VDP or a paid bounty?
Almost always a VDP first. It gives you a safe, legal channel for reports you are already receiving, and it exposes whether your team can actually triage and fix at a reasonable pace. Adding money before that is in place amplifies a process problem rather than solving it.
Will this replace penetration testing?
No, and anyone claiming otherwise is selling something. A bounty programme gives you continuous, unpredictable coverage; a penetration test gives you scheduled, documented depth — and compliance frameworks require the second, not the first.
Which platform should we use?
We are platform-neutral and will help you choose between HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti and self-hosted, based on your budget, region and how much triage you want to own. There is no referral arrangement influencing that advice.
