Private Bug Bounty Program
Invite a curated researcher group into your attack surface. Define scope, set reward ranges, and receive triaged, reproducible findings already validated before they reach your engineering team.

Security reports
without the chaos.
Most teams receive vulnerability disclosures by email, lose real issues in the noise, and have no clear process to respond. DarkByte gives you structured intake, expert triage, and only real findings reaching your engineering team.
I run a product team
I want a clean channel for researchers to report bugs, with triage handled for us.
Set up a programI hunt bugs
I want programs with defined scope, fair triage, and clear response SLAs.

What we run for you
Pick the model that fits
where your program is today.
Not where a vendor wants it to be.
Public Disclosure Program (VDP)
Give researchers a legitimate, structured way to report vulnerabilities. No rewards required — just a clear policy, a single intake channel, and a team that actually reads and processes what arrives.
Learn moreHuman Triage, Not Automation
Every submission is reviewed by a security engineer before it reaches your team. No scanner output dressed as vulns, no duplicate noise, no CVSS scores without impact context. Just real findings.
How it worksSeverity-Ranked, Actionable Reports
Findings reach your sprint ranked by real-world impact, not raw CVSS. Each report includes an impact statement, reproduction steps, and a fix recommendation — ready to assign to a developer.

How a report moves
From submission
to your sprint queue.
No back-and-forth on your side. DarkByte handles researcher communication end-to-end.
01
Researcher submits
Via your DarkByte program page — structured form with target, severity, reproduction steps, and evidence attachments.
02
DarkByte triages
Security engineers validate impact, reproduce the finding, and filter duplicates and out-of-scope reports before escalation.
03
You receive a clean report
Severity-ranked and sprint-ready. Impact statement, reproduction steps, fix recommendation — all included.
04
Fix, close, document
Track remediation, coordinate researcher re-testing, and build a documented fix history your auditors will appreciate.
From teams that use it
What changes when you
have a real process.
“Before DarkByte, we were getting random emails saying someone found something in our app. Half were gibberish. Now we have a process — and a team that tells us what's actually real before it reaches us.”
- Balaji Groups
The triage quality is what stood out. We only hear about verified, in-scope, actionable findings. Our on-call team used to dread security email. Now it’s just a ticket in the sprint queue.
Stop managing security email.

DarkByte gives you structured intake, expert triage, and clean reports — so your team spends time fixing issues, not triaging noise.
