Security & Responsible Disclosure

Last updated: 24 June 2026

We take the security of Traderforum and our users' data seriously. This page describes our security practices and how to responsibly report a vulnerability to ENC DATA RESEARCH LTD.

Reporting a vulnerability

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please report it to us privately at security@traderforum.com before any public disclosure. Include enough detail to reproduce the issue — affected URL or endpoint, steps, and any proof-of-concept. We aim to acknowledge reports within 3 business days and to keep you updated as we investigate and remediate.

A machine-readable version of this contact is published at /.well-known/security.txt per RFC 9116.

Safe-harbour

We will not pursue legal action against researchers who act in good faith and in accordance with this policy: test only against your own accounts or with explicit permission, avoid privacy violations and service degradation, do not access or modify other users' data, and give us a reasonable time to remediate before disclosing.

Out of scope

  • Denial-of-service (DoS/DDoS) and volumetric testing.
  • Social engineering of our staff, users or vendors, and physical attacks.
  • Reports from automated scanners without a demonstrated, exploitable impact.
  • Missing best-practice headers with no concrete security impact.

How we protect the platform

  • Encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) across the site, API and embeddable widgets.
  • Authentication via established identity providers; session integrity controls.
  • Scoped, revocable API keys with origin allow-lists and rate limiting.
  • A moderation gate and abuse controls on user-generated content.
  • Least-privilege access to infrastructure and routine dependency review.

Data handling

How we collect, use and retain personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, and the developer/API data terms in our Data & API Policy.
