Hi ala,

Meeting the CRA is the baseline. The teams getting real value go one step further: they turn a compliance requirement into continuous risk reduction.

Here is the path most take:

• Stand up your VDP now. A monitored channel, validated reports, an audit-ready record. You are operational well before the September 2026 reporting window.
• Prove what is exploitable. Validation surfaces the issues that actually matter, with priority context, so remediation effort goes where the risk is.
• Expand as you grow. A working programme producing real data is the natural foundation for H1 Bounty: broader, continuous coverage, on your terms. Start scoped, expand as you grow.

This is the same continuous approach that Goldman Sachs, Lufthansa, the UK Ministry of Defence, and General Motors rely on to safeguard their digital ecosystems.

If you are weighing up how this maps to your environment, the fastest way to find out is a short conversation with one of our security experts.
