Responsible Disclosure Guidelines
Effective Date: 20 November 2025
Introduction
At Qualithm, we value the contributions of the security research community. These Responsible Disclosure Guidelines describe how to report potential security vulnerabilities and outline how we handle such reports.
These guidelines are intended to support coordinated, good-faith security research. They are not a legal policy or a contractual document.
Scope
These guidelines cover vulnerability reports affecting:
- Qualithm websites, applications, APIs, and interfaces;
- Qualithm cloud infrastructure;
- Device-to-cloud communication and provisioning systems;
- Client SDKs, CLIs, libraries, or tooling.
Out of Scope
- Third-party services not operated by Qualithm;
- Physical security testing;
- Social engineering or phishing campaigns;
- DDoS, load testing, or stress testing;
- Use of automated scanning tools that disrupt production systems.
