From researcher submission to an actionable security decision.
DarkByte keeps communication organized while preserving the delivery controls selected by the company.

Researcher submits
Structured report, target, severity, evidence, video, and attachments.
2
DarkByte ASE validates
Impact, reproduction quality, scope, duplication, and severity are reviewed.
3
Correct delivery route applies
Portal triage, direct company email, or reviewed company delivery.
4
Track status and communicate
Comments, company replies, decisions, remediation, and payout status remain organized.
