## Vulnerability reporting

A SECURITY.md file defines a projects vulnerability reporting process, giving researchers a private, responsible disclosure channel instead of public issue trackers. It sets clear expectations around supported versions and response timelines, reduces exploitation risk, builds community trust, and signals security maturity — recognized natively by platforms like GitHub.

The security.md template file can be found in the link below

https://github.com/hmcts/hmcts.github.io/blob/main/security.md

Use these guidelines to keep your code reliable, secure, and compliant.
