Bug Bounty Program Management
A bug bounty program without expert triage becomes an expensive noise machine. We design, launch and run your program — scoping, policy, researcher communications and triage — so your engineers only ever see real, deduplicated, prioritised vulnerabilities.

What this means. An authorized Solvex administrator registered and approved this exact public identity. What it does not. Solvex has not inspected the account on the platform, and this is not the platform's own verification.
Solvex specialists never ask for your passwords, recovery phrases, one-time codes, or payments to a personal account. Work, scope and invoices are agreed in writing through the official channels on this site.
What's covered
- Program design: scope, rules of engagement, safe-harbour language and reward structure
- Platform selection and setup, or a self-hosted disclosure program
- Full triage of incoming reports: validation, deduplication, severity assessment
- Researcher communication and reputation management
- Escalation of confirmed criticals to your team with reproduction steps
- Ongoing program tuning: scope evolution, reward benchmarking, engagement metrics
What you receive
- A launched program with policy, scope and safe-harbour documentation
- Triage of every report with validated severity and impact
- Monthly program report: submissions, signal-to-noise, spend, trends
- Remediation-ready tickets for confirmed findings
- An annual program review with benchmark comparison
Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Written scope firstAdvisory work runs to a written scope agreed before it starts, so what you receive is what was agreed.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries
What this engagement does not do, stated before it starts.
- We manage the program — reward payouts are funded by you
- We do not inflate severity to justify the program's existence
- Researcher reports remain confidential and are never shared outside your organisation
- Fixing findings is your engineering team's work unless separately engaged
How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- Should we do a bug bounty instead of penetration testing?
- They answer different questions. A pentest gives you systematic coverage of a defined scope by a known team under NDA. A bounty gives you continuous, incentive-driven testing from a crowd with unpredictable coverage. Mature programs run both — and we'll tell you honestly if your organisation isn't ready for a public program yet.
- Which bounty platform do you work with?
- We're platform-neutral: we work with the major commercial platforms or run a direct vulnerability disclosure program on your own infrastructure. The recommendation depends on your budget, audience and risk tolerance, and we explain the trade-offs before you choose.
- What if we get flooded with low-quality reports?
- That's precisely the problem this service exists to absorb. Every report lands with us first — we validate, deduplicate and rate severity, so your engineers only see confirmed, actionable vulnerabilities.

Web Application Penetration Testing
We attack your web application the way a skilled adversary would — safely, under a signed scope — and hand you a clear map of every exploitable weakness. You get proof, business impact and a fix-it plan, not a raw scanner dump.

OSINT Exposure Assessment
We see your organisation the way an attacker doing reconnaissance would — leaked credentials, exposed documents, revealing metadata and forgotten assets — using only public sources. Then we help you shrink that footprint.

Secure Source Code Review
Some flaws only reveal themselves in the code. Our experts read your source — by hand, guided by tooling — to find vulnerabilities, insecure patterns and design weaknesses that black-box testing can miss.
