Responsible Disclosure Policy

Data security is a top priority for Twingate, and Twingate believes that working with skilled security researchers can identify weaknesses in any technology.

If you believe you’ve found a security vulnerability in Twingate’s service, please notify us; we will work with you to resolve the issue promptly.

Disclosure Policy

  • If you believe you’ve discovered a potential vulnerability, please let us know by emailing us at security [at] twingate.com.
  • Provide us with a reasonable amount of time to resolve the issue before disclosing it to the public or a third party. We aim to resolve critical issues within 5 business days of disclosure.
  • Make a good faith effort to avoid violating privacy, destroying data, or interrupting or degrading the Twingate service. Please only interact with accounts you own or for which you have explicit permission from the account holder.
  • Do not exploit a security issue you discover, including for the purpose of demonstrating additional risk by compromising sensitive data.
  • This policy does not authorize you to access data that is not yours (including user data, Twingate data, and any personal data).

You must follow these rules when engaging in security research activities:

  • Don’t violate the privacy of other users, or alter or destroy data.
  • Don’t exploit a vulnerability for your own benefit or the benefit of a third party.
  • Target your own accounts when investigating any potential bugs. Don’t attempt to access the accounts of other users.
  • Don’t target any physical security measures.
  • If you discover a severe vulnerability that permits systems access, please report the vulnerability immediately and do not proceed further.
  • Prioritization and approach to how bugs should be addressed will be at Twingate’s sole discretion.
  • Don’t exhibit any threatening behavior when reporting bugs and interacting with Twingate personnel.
  • Keep bug disclosure communications with Twingate confidential. Please do not disclose bug details to any third party unless Twingate has consented.
