Authorized Research with Clear Boundaries
CROW Innovations conducts offensive security work only with documented authorization and an agreed scope. Engagement terms establish the systems to be tested, permitted activities, operating windows, escalation contacts, and reporting requirements before testing begins.
Confidentiality and Data Handling
We define confidentiality, access, storage, transfer, and retention requirements with each client before work begins. Sensitive findings and client materials are handled through the channels agreed for the engagement.
Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure
We coordinate disclosure with affected stakeholders and the applicable engagement terms. Reports should provide enough technical detail to investigate the issue without unnecessarily exposing sensitive information.
AI Accountability
AI-assisted research requires defined permissions, evaluation, and human oversight. The engagement scope determines permitted data use and whether local or private model deployment is required. Client materials are not approved for external AI processing by default.
Contract and Compliance Requirements
Applicable contractual, regulatory, and security requirements are identified during scoping. Any certification, registration, clearance, or contract eligibility claim is made only when verified and applicable to the specific service.
