"We perform penetration testing through a combination of our in-house offensive security team, qualified third-party penetration testers and a year-round public bug bounty program.Excerpt from Databricks's Security Practices
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Public bug bounty programs engage ISO/IEC 29147:2018 vulnerability disclosure standards, which the document explicitly references, as well as RFC 9116 and ISO/IEC 30111:2019 vulnerability handling standards. These frameworks establish expectations for researcher engagement, acknowledgment timelines, and remediation communication. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. The existence of a public bug bounty program is a standard industry security practice and does not create unusual compliance exposure. It may be relevant to customers evaluating the breadth of independent security review applied to the platform. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: No jurisdiction-specific heightened exposure identified for this provision. EU NIS2 coordinated vulnerability disclosure requirements may be relevant for customers in designated critical infrastructure sectors. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should confirm whether the bug bounty program scope covers the specific Databricks services and deployment configurations used by their organization, and whether findings from the program feed into the vulnerability remediation timelines committed to in the Security Addendum. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations with vendor security assessment programs should note the public bug bounty program as a supplementary external security review mechanism and confirm the program scope and reward structure through Databricks' published bug bounty documentation.
