NOIP is designed to scan, analyze, and monitor infrastructure security. Our security policy covers:

• Core platform security (authentication, authorization, data protection)
• Security scanning engine integrity and accuracy
• AI integration security (Claude API usage and data handling)
• Infrastructure discovery and analysis security
• Dashboard and reporting system security
• API security and data transmission protection

We maintain a structured support lifecycle to ensure security coverage for our users.

• Current Version: Full security support including all security patches, bug fixes, and features
• Maintenance Version: Critical security fixes only (no new features or bug fixes)
• Unsupported Versions: No security updates or support of any kind

• Critical Vulnerabilities: Patches released within 7 days of disclosure
• High Severity Issues: Patches released within 14 days
• Medium Severity Issues: Patches released within 30 days
• Low Severity Issues: Addressed in next scheduled release

We recommend users upgrade to supported versions within 30 days of new releases to maintain security coverage. Migration guides and automated upgrade tools are provided in our documentation.

We appreciate responsible disclosure and work to make the process as smooth as possible for security researchers.
