How BountiFix Works

A clear, managed process that turns crowdsourced security testing into verified, actionable results.

The Process

From scope to secure

Every BountiFix engagement follows the same structured lifecycle — designed for transparency and high-signal results.

1

Scope & launch your program

We work with you to define which assets are in scope, set the rules of engagement, and structure severity-based reward tiers. Choose a private (invite-only) or public program.

  • Asset & scope definition
  • Reward tier structuring
  • Private or public launch
2

Researchers test your systems

Vetted ethical hackers begin probing your in-scope assets for genuine, exploitable vulnerabilities — mirroring the techniques real attackers use.

  • Identity-verified researchers
  • Real-world attack simulation
  • Continuous, ongoing coverage
3

We triage every submission

Our security team validates and prioritizes each report. Duplicates and false positives are filtered out, so your team only reviews confirmed, high-impact findings.

  • Validation & reproduction
  • Severity & impact scoring
  • Noise & duplicate filtering
4

Remediate & reward

You receive clear remediation guidance for each vulnerability. Once a fix is verified, the researcher is rewarded based on the impact of their finding.

  • Step-by-step fix guidance
  • Fix verification & retesting
  • Fair, fast bounty payouts
