Security Policy

Introduction

SHLORBT Research Labs treats security as a foundational responsibility rather than a reactive function. As a research and assurance laboratory working in system-level security domains, we recognize the importance of maintaining the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of our own digital presence and communications.

This Security Policy outlines how security concerns related to SHLORBT Research Labs online presence, communications, and research operations may be reported and how such concerns are handled.

Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to security issues related to:

• The SHLORBT Research Labs website and associated domains
• Public-facing services and communication channels operated by SHLORBT Research Labs
• Research-related infrastructure used for coordination and disclosure
• Published research artifacts, advisories, and documentation

This policy does not apply to:

• Third-party platforms or services not operated by SHLORBT Research Labs
• Client systems assessed under private contractual agreements
• Issues unrelated to security, such as feature requests or content feedback

Security issues affecting SHLORBT infrastructure should be reported via this policy. Vulnerabilities affecting external software or research targets should follow the Vulnerability Disclosure Policy.

Research Ethics

SHLORBT Research Labs conducts security research exclusively for defensive and resilience improving purposes. Research methods are designed to minimize harm and avoid disruption to operational systems.

Reporting Security Issues

SHLORBT Research Labs encourages the responsible reporting of security issues that may affect its operations or published materials.

Security issues may be reported via email to:

security@shlorbt.cloud

Reports should include sufficient detail to allow understanding and validation of the issue. Where possible, this may include the affected component, observed behavior, and any relevant technical context.

All reports should be submitted in good faith and without attempts to exploit, disrupt, or compromise systems beyond what is necessary to demonstrate the issue.

Responsible Testing Expectations

Individuals reporting security issues are expected to:

• Avoid accessing or modifying data beyond what is strictly necessary
• Refrain from actions that could degrade service availability
• Respect privacy and confidentiality
• Comply with applicable laws and regulations

Testing that involves denial-of-service activity, social engineering, or physical access attempts is not authorized.

Handling and Response

Upon receiving a valid security report, SHLORBT Research Labs will:

• Acknowledge receipt within a reasonable timeframe
• Assess the issue for validity and potential impact
• Take appropriate steps to mitigate or remediate confirmed issues
• Coordinate disclosure where relevant, consistent with responsible practices

The timing and manner of any public communication related to a security issue will be determined based on severity, impact, and coordination requirements.

Safe Harbor

SHLORBT Research Labs will not pursue legal action against individuals who report security issues responsibly, provided that they:

• Act in good faith
• Adhere to this Security Policy and the Vulnerability Disclosure Policy
• Avoid intentional harm, data exposure, or service disruption

This safe harbor does not apply to activities conducted with malicious intent or in violation of applicable laws.

Relationship to Vulnerability Disclosure Policy

This Security Policy complements SHLORBT Research Labs’s Vulnerability Disclosure Policy.
While this document focuses on security issues affecting SHLORBT Research Labs’s own operations, the Vulnerability Disclosure Policy governs the reporting and coordinated disclosure of vulnerabilities identified through research activities.

Confidentiality and Information Handling

Information submitted as part of a security report is treated as confidential and is used solely for the purpose of investigation, remediation, and coordination. Such information is shared only with individuals or entities where necessary and appropriate.

Policy Updates

This Security Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in operations, research scope, or regulatory requirements. The most current version will be published on this site.
