Policy & Communication Templates

Launch faster with templates shaped by NidFul’s disclosure playbooks and tuned for programs across Africa. Each artifact is available in Google Docs and Markdown so you can adopt it into your governance workflow.

Disclosure Policy Pack

• VDP Policy (Markdown) – Baseline language covering scope, response targets, and safe-harbor commitments.
• Bug Bounty Addendum – Incentive table with currency localization (USD, NGN, KES, ZAR) and automatic cost ceilings.
• Change Log – Versioned log (YYYY-MM-DD) for regulators and legal teams.

Communication Macros

| Scenario | Template | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Initial acknowledgement | acknowledge.md | Sends within 24 hours and reflects NidFul’s triage tone. | | Need more information | clarification.md | Includes checklist for reproduction artifacts and proof-of-concept. | | Positive resolution | resolved.md | Recaps fix timeline, invites private retest, links to disclosure flow. | | Out of scope | out-of-scope.md | References safe-harbor language and alternative programs. |

Store these within NidFul’s Triage → Macros panel or sync them via the API.

Executive Brief Templates

• Board Update (Slides) – MTTR, signal trends, bounty spend, and open risks.
• Incident Appendix (Docs) – Structured response summary for regulator submissions.
• Researcher Spotlight (Newsletter) – Recognize top contributors while reinforcing the code of conduct.

How to Customize

1. Duplicate the template into your documentation workspace (Notion, Confluence, or Git repos).
2. Update contact points, escalation numbers, and legal references specific to your jurisdiction.
3. Align the incentive table with your finance thresholds and tax requirements; see Payments, Taxes, and Compliance.
