BT Responsible Disclosure Policy
Introduction
This document contains a set of guidelines regarding the process of responsible disclosure which is defined in the ISO / IEC 29147 as a process through which vendors and vulnerability finders may work cooperatively in finding solutions that reduce the risks associated with a vulnerability. Additionally, this represents the commitment of Banca Transilvania to ensure the continuous improvement of security practices in order to safeguard our clients’ information. This policy is intended to provide security researchers guidelines regarding the assets and types of research that are considered in-scope and the vulnerability reporting process.
Given that the security researcher will comply with the following set of terms, Banca Transilvania will acknowledge that the vulnerability identification has been conducted in good faith and will not pursue any legal action.
