Whistleblower System

NET EXPAT is committed to ensuring the safety and security of our customers and employees. We aim to foster an environment of trust, and an open partnership with the security community, and we recognize the importance of vulnerability disclosures and whistleblowers in continuing to ensure safety and security for all of our customers, employees and company. We have developed this policy to both reflect our corporate values and to uphold our legal responsibility to good-faith security researchers that are providing us with their expertise and whistleblowers who add an extra layer of security to our infrastructure.

What we expect from you:

• Detailed report made in good faith or based on a reasonable belief.
• Good Faith means the truthful reporting of a company-related violation of information security policies, procedures, or regulations, as opposed to a report made with reckless disregard or willful ignorance of facts.
• Reasonable Belief refers to the subjective belief in the truth of the disclosure AND that any reasonable person in a similar situation would objectively believe based on the facts.
• Details of the violation (i.e., what, how, why).
• Details of the reported event, with facts (i.e., who, where, when).
• You are NOT responsible for investigating the alleged violation, or for determining fault or corrective measures.
