Vulnerability Disclosure: Responsible Disclosure Program

RESPONSIBLE DISCLOSURE PROGRAM

As a leader in digital banking, Swissquote deeply cares about information security.

Maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our systems and services is a critical aspect of our daily operations.

The Program

Swissquote Group currently does not operate a bug bounty program, and does not authorise the active research of vulnerabilities on its websites and services. Nevertheless, should you discover a security vulnerability, we would greatly appreciate your cooperation in disclosing it to us in a responsible manner.

Reporting Guidelines

Enveloppe with an "@" symbol on the back

Reporting should be done by email to: vulnerability_disclosure@swissquote.ch with all information you deem necessary to explain the issue and how you found it.

A typical vulnerability report is expected to contain the following information:

a description of the vulnerability and its potential impact;
the list of affected hosts, services or URLs;
the required steps to reproduce the vulnerability;
how you identified the vulnerability;
your contact information.

Submit only a single vulnerability per report, unless a chain is required for measurable impact. We will acknowledge reception of your report, however we will not provide further information on our findings.

Strictly Forbidden Activities

As stated above, active research of vulnerabilities (e.g., scans) is not authorised. Also note that the following activities are strictly forbidden and monitored:

any activity that could lead to the disruption of our services (DoS, DDoS, spam, etc...);
any activity that would threaten the integrity of user data;
any activity that would breach the confidentiality of user data;
usage of automated tools to find vulnerabilities;
any fraudulent transaction.

Swissquote Group reserves the right to bring any legal action against any person acting in a manner considered as illegal, illicit or as infringing the above.
