  Smart DCC publishes no RFC 9116 security.txt, no responsible-disclosure page and no bug
  bounty programme (HackerOne, Bugcrowd and Intigriti were all checked and none was found).
  What it does publish is a board-level Information Security Policy, linked from the footer
  of every page, which names a Chief Information Security Officer as the accountable owner
  and gives a monitored security mailbox. That mailbox is the only published route for
  reporting a security concern.
