Responsible Disclosure

\u25B6 Our Commitment to Security

Aevum Zenth Conglomerate operates across 400 subsidiaries and manages critical infrastructure in energy, aerospace, healthcare, finance, and cloud services. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for unauthorized exploitation, but we actively encourage good-faith security research conducted within the boundaries of this policy.

Our global Security Operations Center (SOC) monitors, triages, and remediates vulnerabilities across all divisions. We believe that transparent collaboration with ethical researchers strengthens our defenses and protects our customers, partners, and employees worldwide.

\u26A1 Scope & Eligibility

We accept reports for vulnerabilities affecting systems explicitly owned and operated by Aevum Zenth or its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

• In Scope: Public-facing web applications, customer portals, APIs, mobile applications, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure tenant resources), authentication systems, and critical internal infrastructure exposed to the internet.
• Out of Scope: Social engineering, physical security, denial-of-service (DoS/DDoS), third-party platforms/services we do not operate, vulnerabilities in public beta/test environments, already reported issues, and automated scanning without prior coordination.

\u270D\uFE0F How to Report

Submit all vulnerability reports to our dedicated security team. For sensitive findings, please encrypt your submission using our PGP key.

PGP Public Key (Fingerprint):

• Proof-of-concept code or screenshots (avoid sensitive customer data)
• Your contact information for follow-up
• Preferred communication method and time zone

Do not: Exfiltrate data, modify/delete records, deploy persistent access, impact availability, or test on production systems during peak hours without coordination.

\u23F1\uFE0F Response Process & SLA

Our security team follows a structured incident response workflow:

We will provide status updates at key milestones: acknowledgment, triage, remediation, patch deployment, and public disclosure coordination. We aim to resolve critical issues before public release.

\u2744\uFE0F Safe Harbor & Legal Protections

If you act in good faith and follow this policy, Aevum Zenth Conglomerate will not pursue civil or criminal action against you for authorized testing of our systems. We consider responsible researchers as allies, not adversaries.

Safe harbor applies when you:

• Do not access, modify, or exfiltrate user data

• Report findings exclusively through this policy

This safe harbor does not extend to unauthorized access of third-party systems, physical intrusion, or activities violating applicable laws outside the scope of this policy.

Aevum Zenth operates a structured bug bounty program for eligible vulnerabilities. Rewards are determined by impact, severity, and complexity. Critical findings may qualify for significant financial rewards or research grants.

We offer public recognition in our annual transparency report and security acknowledgments, subject to your preference. Researchers can opt for anonymity, pseudonymity, or full attribution.
