An organization encourages outside researchers to share potential flaws and awards compensation based on the severity of each submission. Which measure best supports consistent analysis and remediation of reported issues while preserving the organization’s credibility?
Apply a single intake step for every report and release information after the review concludes
Publish all new submissions in public forums to gather community consensus prior to addressing them
Allow each team member to decide risk priorities independently and set reward amounts variably
Adopt well-defined guidelines, maintain efficient triage, and update researchers on progress
A structured approach that provides participants with clear guidelines, a timely triage mechanism, and open updates on remediation fosters trust and consistently addresses findings. It balances operational efficiency with transparent communication. The other suggestions either lack a defined process, rely on sharing all details externally, or allow undisciplined practices that could lead to confusion and undermine trust in the process.
