You might be aware of Intigriti’s services, customers, and capabilities. But, while many companies provide bug bounty, PTaaS, VDP, and live hacking events, what organizations are increasingly seeking are platforms that prioritize quality over quantity, fast response times, and strict data compliance.  

This article explores eight key elements to pay attention to when looking for or changing your bug bounty platform to suit your organization’s needs.  

One of Intigriti’s standout strengths is its exceptionally fast and accurate triage process. Intigriti maintains a curated researcher community, allowing it to deliver triage turnaround in as little as 48 hours, on average. This enables organizations to act on critical vulnerabilities quickly, reducing exposure and improving operational security.  

But it is not only the speed that makes Intigriti triage great, it’s the high quality and consistency of its triage, which results in increased efficiency and reduced workload for customers.  

“Triage is the backbone of any successful bug bounty program. It’s where raw vulnerability reports are transformed into actionable insights, saving time, reducing risk, and enabling faster remediation. By filtering out bad and invalid reports, our triage process saved our customers over 20,000 hours last year, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: securing their systems.” - Lennaert Oudshoorn, Head of Triage, Intigriti  

Intigriti has built an exceptional reputation for being researcher-friendly. Ethical hackers appreciate the clear program guidelines, respectful team, and clean platform interface.  

“I really enjoy the personal touch Intigriti’s researcher support has. I feel seen and cared for as a hacker.” — Renniepak, Intigriti Security Researcher 

These factors contribute to a positive, collaborative ecosystem where both researchers and clients are supported.  
‘Intigriti ensures smooth execution, follow-up, and most importantly, the screening of the ethical hackers working on the platform. If the ethical hacker discovers a vulnerability, it is reported and then validated through the Intigriti platform.– Interview with Ronny Martens, Enterprise Architect, Prato 

Intigriti drinks its own champagne when it comes to taking security seriously and is the only bug bounty platform to offer multi-layered encryption. 

'Every security vulnerability submitted to the Intigriti platform is encrypted on multiple levels, including submission, company, and user. Encrypted variants of the submission key are available for every researcher, and the process for decrypting and viewing the submission involves retrieving the user key, decrypting the submission key, and decrypting the content.’ – Intigriti’s Application Level Encryption  

Running a bug bounty program often proves to be more cost-effective with the pay-for-impact model, meaning customers only pay for valid vulnerabilities submitted by researchers and triaged by the Intigriti team. This also means more time to focus on innovation with fewer false positives and less noise. And high-quality reports enable customers’ security teams to have detailed information to patch bugs found. 

“Intigriti has been the best platform for us […] Hacker engagement is the same, and the cost was significantly lower. Also, I feel like the success, support, and triage team is better in quality”.  - bringthehacktion on Reddit 

Intigriti offers tiered subscription options, with pricing to suit customer security requirements, maturity level, growth aspirations, and budget availability. In addition, customers work with multi-tier bounty tables, allowing them to test with maximum scope.  

Intigriti’s European roots give it a natural advantage for companies that must meet strict privacy regulations. It is fully aligned with GDPR, and its infrastructure is designed with European data sovereignty in mind to provide greater assurance where additional steps to ensure legal compliance with European data protection laws are required. 

‘Intigriti is fully compliant with GDPR. Our platform also offers unique data protection functionalities, such as the ability to permanently destroy submissions, military grade encryption, and more.’- Moving to the Intigriti platform  

Trust is the foundation of the Intigriti platform, which is built on a clear legal framework that protects clients and empowers researchers.  

Here's the Intigriti promise: 

• Clear rules of engagement. Researchers agree to test only what's in scope, report findings quickly, and maintain strict confidentiality. 

• Researchers own their work. While they retain ownership of their findings, they grant Intigriti and the client a license to use said findings to fix the vulnerability. This is how Intigriti, researchers, and customers make an impact together. 

• Ensuring a safe community. As an EU company, Intigriti follows strict guidelines, including verifying researcher identities through a secure, confidential process. This creates a trusted environment where everyone can do their best work. 

Intigriti’s Code of Conduct (CoC) aims to ensure that the companies they work with adhere to high standards of fair and respectful treatment of individuals, a safe working environment, and other ethical practices. Intigriti and its subsidiaries continuously comply with the principles of this Code of Conduct and require its suppliers to do the same.  

Customers don't just buy a product with Intigriti, but a partnership. Personalized and proactive advice is key to maximizing the value for the customer.  

For companies looking for a platform that delivers personalized support, agile operations, and regulatory peace of mind, Intigriti stands out. Its high-quality approach consistently delivers results that meet and exceed customer needs. 

“When talking to customers and researchers, it stood clear that Intigriti has the best triage services… and since that’s what’s important to us, the decision was easy to go with Intigriti.”— David Andersson, Grafana Security Engineering Team
