For client engagements:

• Work is conducted under a signed non-disclosure and data-handling agreement.

• Client data, findings, and proprietary information are not shared, sold, or reused outside the engagement scope.

Responsible disclosure

Report vulnerabilities to security@accendum.com with the subject line [VULN] <short description>. Reports should include the vulnerability and potential impact, affected component, reproduction steps, supporting evidence, and a preferred contact method.

Accendum states that it will acknowledge reports within 2 business days and triage them within 7 business days. Critical and high-severity issues are prioritised for immediate remediation. Coordinated disclosure is generally requested within 90 days, and researchers may receive credit with permission.

In scope

• accendum.com and its subdomains
• Open-source repositories under the Accendum GitHub organisation
• Accendum-operated client portals or APIs that the tester is explicitly authorised to test

Social engineering, phishing, physical attacks, denial-of-service, service-degrading automated scanning, third-party vulnerabilities, and client systems without explicit written authorisation are out of scope.

Accendum offers safe harbour to researchers who act in good faith, follow the policy, and limit access, modification, or exfiltration of data to what is strictly necessary to demonstrate the issue.
