Responsible disclosure
We welcome coordinated disclosure.
If you find a security issue in our website, platform or operations that could be exploited, we want to know. Here is how to tell us — and what you can expect from us in return.
How to report
Email security@cliffsecurity.co.zw with a clear description of the issue, steps to reproduce, and any supporting evidence. If you have PGP, we accept encrypted reports — key on request.
What we promise
- Acknowledge your report within one working day.
- Assign a triage lead and communicate a rough timeline within five working days.
- Keep you updated through remediation.
- Credit you publicly (if you want credit) once the issue is resolved and public disclosure is agreed.
- Not pursue legal action against researchers acting in good faith under this policy.
What we ask
- Give us reasonable time to fix the issue before public disclosure.
- Do not access, modify or delete data that isn't yours.
- Do not perform DDoS, physical-security, or social-engineering tests.
- Test only against scoped systems (our public website, our documented API endpoints). Our clients' deployments are out of scope.
Scope
- In scope: cliffsecurity.co.zw and documented Guard Track API endpoints.
- Out of scope: third-party services (social media, payment processors), client-specific deployments, physical-security testing, social engineering of staff.
Rewards
We do not currently operate a monetary bug-bounty program. We do publish a disclosure wall recognising researchers who've reported high-quality issues.
