This preserves our community’s trust and ensures the highest level of protection for our users. You can access independent security audits, review our code, or contribute to improving it.
Help keep Proton safe for everyone
The Proton community relies on our services to protect their data. If you are a security researcher, you can assist in identifying, verifying, and resolving potential vulnerabilities. By contributing to our bug bounty program you can help keep Proton safe, earn recognition, and rewards.

But there are many other ways in which you can contribute to the Proton community and help advance our mission.
