PRODUCT SECURITY AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE LAW (PSTI) UK VULNERABILITY DISCLOSURE POLICY
EXTERNAL PUBLISHED POLICY

INTRODUCTION
BENTON is committed to ensuring the security of the BENTON customers by protecting their information. This policy is intended to give BENTON customers clear guidelines for conducting vulnerability discovery activities and to convey our preferences in how to submit discovered vulnerabilities to us.
This policy describes what systems and types of research are covered under this policy, how to send us vulnerability reports, and how long we ask security researchers to wait before publicly disclosing vulnerabilities.
We encourage you to contact us to report potential vulnerabilities in our systems.

GUIDELINES
Under this policy, “research” means activities in which you:
Notify  BENTON as soon as possible after you discover a real or potential security issue.
Make every effort to avoid privacy violations, degradation of user experience, disruption to production systems, and destruction or manipulation of data.
Only use exploits to the extent necessary to confirm a vulnerability’s presence. Do not use an exploit to compromise or exfiltrate data, establish persistent command line access, or use the exploit to pivot to other systems.
Provide BENTON a reasonable amount of time to resolve the issue before you disclose it publicly.
Do not submit a high volume of low-quality reports.

Once the BENTON customer has established that a vulnerability exists or encounter any sensitive data (including personally identifiable information, financial information, or proprietary information or trade secrets of any party), BENTON customer must stop his test, notify BENTON immediately, and not disclose this data to anyone else.
