Effective Date: June 1, 2024

‍

Data security is a top priority for Vanta, and Vanta believes that working with skilled security researchers can identify weaknesses in any technology. If you believe you’ve found a security vulnerability in Vanta’s service, please notify us; we will work with you to resolve the issue promptly.

‍

Disclosure Policy

• If you believe you’ve discovered a potential vulnerability, please let us know by emailing us at security@vanta.com. We will acknowledge your email within one week.
• Please provide us with a reasonable amount of time to resolve the issue before disclosing it to the public or a third party. We aim to resolve critical issues within ten business days of disclosure.
• Make a good faith effort to avoid violating privacy, destroying data, or interrupting or degrading the Vanta service. Please only interact with accounts you own or for which you have explicit permission from the account holder.

‍

Exclusions

Vanta is providing this service to help ensure a safe and secure environment for all of its users. As such, any users believed to be engaging in the below activities will have their user credentials immediately deactivated.

‍

While researching, we’d like you to refrain from:

• Denial-of-Service (DoS)
• Spamming
• Social engineering or phishing of Vanta employees or contractors
• Any attacks against Vanta’s physical property or data centers

This policy applies to the Vanta Application hosted at app.vanta.com and to any other subdomains or services associated with the Vanta App. We do not accept reports for vulnerabilities solely affecting our marketing website (www.vanta.com) which contains no sensitive data. In addition, reports that describe theoretical attack vectors without substantiated proof of exploitability are excluded.

If you make a good faith effort to comply with this policy during your security research, we will consider your research to be authorized, we will work with you to understand and resolve the issue quickly, and Vanta will not recommend or pursue legal action related to your research. Should legal action be initiated by a third party against you for activities that were conducted in accordance with this policy, we will make this authorization known.
