Managed Bug Bounty Programs
Bug bounties give you continuous testing from a global pool of security researchers. But running one well — scoping rules, vetting researchers, triaging duplicates, managing payouts — takes expertise most teams lack in-house. We handle the entire programme so you get the signal without the overhead.
What Is a Managed Bug Bounty Programme?
A managed bug bounty programme delegates the operational complexity of crowdsourced security testing to a specialist partner. We design the programme scope, define rules of engagement, recruit and vet researchers, triage incoming reports, validate findings, manage bounty payouts, and deliver consolidated reporting.
Unlike periodic penetration tests that provide a point-in-time snapshot, bug bounties deliver continuous discovery. New vulnerabilities surface as your application changes, researchers attack from unexpected angles, and you catch issues that scheduled assessments miss.
What’s Covered
The full programme lifecycle, start to finish.
Programme Design
Scope definition, rules of engagement, bounty tiers, and severity rating guidelines. We calibrate the programme to your risk profile and budget — no one-size-fits-all template.
Researcher Vetting
Identity verification, skill assessment, and background checks for private programmes. For public programmes, trust scoring and reputation tracking to identify reliable reporters.
Triage & Validation
Every submission reviewed by our security analysts. Duplicates collapsed, false positives rejected, out-of-scope reports handled diplomatically. You only see validated, actionable findings.
Payout Management
Bounty allocation, dispute resolution, and payment processing. We handle the financial logistics so you are not arguing over severity ratings with researchers.
Reporting & Analytics
Monthly dashboards showing submission volume, researcher engagement, time-to-triage, and vulnerability trends. Executive summaries with risk heatmaps for board reporting.
Programme Security
Rules of engagement enforcement, safe harbour policies, responsible disclosure coordination, and legal framework support. Protects both your organisation and participating researchers.
Our Approach
Four phases from launch to steady state.
Programme Design
We define scope boundaries, severity ratings, bounty tiers, and rules of engagement based on your application architecture, threat model, and budget. Private or public programme depending on your preference.
Launch & Recruitment
Programme goes live on your chosen platform or our managed infrastructure. For private programmes, we invite vetted researchers. For public programmes, we announce and seed initial engagement.
Ongoing Triage
Our analysts review every submission within agreed SLAs. Validated findings flow to your development team with reproduction steps, impact analysis, and remediation guidance.
Continuous Optimisation
We monitor programme health metrics — researcher retention, submission quality, time-to-remediation. Scope adjusted quarterly based on findings patterns and your evolving attack surface.
Why Bravix Bug Bounty?
Offensive DNA
Our triage team are active pentesters. They recognise attack patterns, chain potential, and real-world impact — not just match CVEs against a checklist.
Researcher Network
Access to vetted researcher communities across Southeast Asia and globally. We know who delivers quality findings and who wastes time.
Flexible Scope
Web apps, mobile apps, APIs, hardware, IoT. Public or private. Full-scope or focused on specific features. The programme adapts to your constraints.
Complementary to Pentesting
Bug bounties do not replace pentests — they fill the gaps between them. We design programmes that work alongside your existing security assessment schedule.
