Kratikal’s Managed Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP) cuts through the unfiltered vulnerability noise by managing your VDP end-to-end, so only validated, actionable vulnerabilities reach your team. Every vulnerability submitted by researchers is validated, reproduced, and risk-scored using Kratikal’s AI-powered Pentesting and VMDR platform, AutoSecT, before it ever reaches your internal teams.
The Result?
The Result?
You receive only verified vulnerabilities along with their business and technical impact analysis.
Clearly prioritised with severity, business risk, and remediation guidance.
Through a single centralized vulnerability management dashboard.
Your Organization Needs a Vulnerability Disclosure Program - Here’s Why!
A VDP provides a secure, structured, and legally safe channel for ethical hackers to report issues responsibly, before malicious actors exploit them.
A Public VDP:
Demonstrates a high level of cybersecurity maturity and builds confidence among customers, regulators, and business partners.
Encourages responsible disclosure instead of public exploitation.
Aligns with modern compliance and governance expectations.
A VDP is a win-win!
Researchers receive clarity and recognition, while organizations proactively close security gaps.
Industry research consistently shows that:
70%+ of vulnerabilities are
discovered by external researchers
Nearly 40% are high or
critical severity
The Hidden Cost of Self-Managing VDPs & Bug Bounty Programs
Running a VDP or bug bounty program internally is resource-intensive and expensive.
High volume of reports, duplicates,
and false positives
Slow response time damage security
researcher's trust
Manual triage and validation require senior security resources
Administrative overheads like policy creation, submissions, acknowledgments, communications, and reward handling
This is why many organizations choose to outsource VDP operations to specialized security providers.
Studies indicate that:
Poorly structured processes can cost ~$1,900 per security incident
Mature, managed VDP workflows reduce that cost to ~$288 per incident

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Kratikal’s Managed VDP reduce false positives and workload?
Every submission is validated through AutoSecT’s AI-powered pentesting and VMDR platform, filtering out duplicates and false positives. You only receive confirmed, high-quality vulnerabilities cutting manual triage by over 80%.
What makes AutoSecT different from traditional VDP triage?
AutoSecT verifies issues using AI-driven scanning and provides severity, priority, and fix guidance in one dashboard. This speeds up validation and shortens your time to remediation.
Does my organization need a VDP even if we already run security audits?
Yes. Audits find known risks, but a VDP catches real-world vulnerabilities discovered by external researchers often issues internal teams miss.
How does outsourcing VDP management improve security outcomes?
A managed Vulnerability Disclosure Program ensures faster verification, consistent researcher communication, and prioritized remediation, reducing your exposure window and improving overall security hygiene.
