GOV-10Vulnerability disclosure

A coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD) process is published, including intake channel, acknowledgment SLA, triage and remediation timelines, and safe-harbor language.

The organization publishes a coordinated vulnerability disclosure process for its AI agents and supporting infrastructure. The process includes a public intake channel, an acknowledgment SLA, documented triage and remediation timelines, and safe-harbor language for good-faith researchers. CVD findings flow into the change management process under GOV-05.

Table GOV-10.1 · Maturity criteria · v.1.3

L1 to L5 · the lowest level in scope caps the agent
L1Ad hoc

Controls exist informally; documentation is incomplete; no consistent review.

L2Documented

Controls are written down; ownership is assigned; review cadence is defined.

L3Operated

Controls are followed in practice; evidence is collected; deviations are tracked.

CVD process is published and accessible; intake channel is monitored; at least one disclosure has been processed through the pipeline or the process has been tested end-to-end; findings are tracked through remediation.

L4Measured

Control effectiveness is measured against documented thresholds; trends are reported.

L5Continuously Improved

Controls evolve based on incident learning; maturity gains are evidenced over time.

The v1.3 edition publishes a control-specific criterion at L3 (Operated). The other levels apply the general ladder to this control; see the maturity ladder.
