We aim to make the digital world safer by reporting vulnerabilities we find in digital systems to the people who can fix them.
Who we areDIVD aims to make the digital world safer by reporting vulnerabilities we find in digital systems to the people who can fix them. We have a global reach, but do it Dutch style: open, honest, collaborative, and for free.
Learn moreWe aim to enhance digital safety by reporting system vulnerabilities to the relevant authorities. With a global reach, we adopt an open, honest, and collaborative approach, providing our services for free.
Make our work easier by putting our security.txt in the code of your website and our IP 194.5.73.0-255 on your allow list. This way you make sure that our research team can look for vulnerabilities without alarming your cyber security systems. And we know who to talk to when we find vulnerabilities.

We would be nothing without our partners (we like to call them friends) and therefore we truly appreciate them. Let us know if you would like to become a DIVD partner.
Become a partnerIf this F.A.Q. doesn’t provide the answer you’re looking for, feel free to reach out to us. We strive to respond to your queries to the best of our ability.
Contact All FAQIf we find a vulnerability, we’ll set up a case with all the details we know and how to patch this vulnerability. Then we scan known IP adresses to see if they’re vulnerable and if that’s the case we’ll send out an email to every vulnerable IP adress.
Our emails are personally written by one of our researchers and contain a link to the casefile on the csirt.divd.nl site.
Most of our volunteers work in cybersecurity as their daily job, this could be at a commercial security company, government, or as a freelancer. Some of our volunteers don’t work in security at all but have great interest in making the digital world safer.
All our volunteers are screened, and have provided a certificate of conduct. Our code of conduct is sacred, we do not deviate from it.
