Security & Responsible Disclosure
Last updated:Wigiwork is built on a privacy-first, secure-by-design architecture engineered to protect user data, candidate anonymity, identity-sensitive workflows, and the integrity of our hiring ecosystem. This page explains our security posture, how to report vulnerabilities, and how we handle responsible security research.
This notice forms part of the Wigiwork Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy, and other Supplemental Policies.
1. Security Commitment
Wigiwork maintains administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect:
- Account information
- Candidate and employer data
- Anonymous profile systems
- Credit, billing, and transaction data
- Wigi Snapshot and Wigi-DNA™ protected outputs
- AI models and embeddings under Wigi IQ Labs
- Platform and infrastructure integrity
Our security framework is aligned with modern industry practices and includes:
- Strong encryption (data in transit & at rest)
- Access controls and multi-layer authentication
- Monitoring for unusual, high-risk, or suspicious activity
- Abuse prevention, fraud scoring, and anomaly detection
- Secure development lifecycle (SDLC) processes
- Regular internal reviews and testing
- Vendor and cloud-provider security evaluations
We do not publish sensitive implementation details, as doing so may increase security risk.
While Wigiwork applies strong security measures, no system can guarantee absolute security or prevent all unauthorized access in all circumstances.
2. Reporting Security Vulnerabilities (Responsible Disclosure)
We welcome responsible security research and good-faith reports.
If you discover a potential vulnerability, privacy issue, or security concern, please report it to: [email protected]
Include:

We will acknowledge receipt and investigate promptly.
Wigiwork is not obligated to respond to, resolve, or disclose the outcome of all reports.

- Avoid viewing candidate identity or employer confidential information
- Limit testing to non-destructive methods
- Keep findings confidential until we confirm remediation

- Acknowledge receipt within a reasonable timeframe
- Investigate, validate, and prioritize remediation
- Keep you informed (subject to confidentiality and security constraints)
