How to Report A Security Vulnerability

If you believe you have discovered a potential security vulnerability or privacy issue with SetPoint Medical products or systems, please contact us by sending an email to [email protected].

Good Faith Reporting

SetPoint Medical asks that all security research and vulnerability reports be performed in good faith. We believe good faith efforts adhere to the following guidelines.

  • The research does not cause harm to people or in-use devices – this includes activities that may result in denying access to service (e.g., brute force testing)
  • The research does not attempt to access user information other than the researcher’s own information
  • The research is never performed on devices that are actively in use, or will eventually be used, by patients or healthcare providers
  • Findings are reported to SetPoint Medical and reasonable time is allowed for remediation prior to public disclosure

Legal Considerations

SetPoint Medical asks that you comply with all applicable laws and regulations when conducting your research. We assure researchers that we will not pursue legal action against individuals who discover and report vulnerabilities in good faith and compliance with this policy. If you have identified a cybersecurity vulnerability and prefer to disclose the matter directly to a regulatory agency rather than SetPoint Medical, please contact the appropriate regulatory agency.

By submitting information to SetPoint Medical through this process, you are agreeing that the information you submit is to be considered non-proprietary and non-confidential such that SetPoint Medical is allowed to use the information in any manner, in whole or in part, without restriction. Furthermore, you agree that submitting information does not create any rights for you or any obligation for SetPoint Medical.

SetPoint Medical reserves the right to change any aspect of this coordinated disclosure process at any time without notice, and to make exceptions to it on a case-by-case basis.

Recognition and Rewards

SetPoint Medical values the contributions of security researchers. In addition to public acknowledgement, we may offer other forms of recognition or rewards, such as monetary rewards, swag, or other incentives, for valuable contributions. Details of our recognition program can be found on our Vulnerability Disclosure Recognition and Rewards Page.
