The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD) is a brand launched on October 1, 2019, with a mission to make the digital world safer. They achieve this by reporting vulnerabilities found in digital systems to the individuals who can fix them. DIVD follows a Dutch-style approach, characterized by openness, honesty, collaboration, and providing their services free of charge.

DIVD is a global platform that supports security researchers in reporting vulnerabilities. They operate with the help of skilled volunteers and adhere to a Code of Conduct that governs how and why they scan and report vulnerabilities. DIVD also keeps the public informed through their News & Events section, where they share presentations and updates.

The institute offers various services such as reports on closed research, a CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Response Team) blog featuring current research, information about their partners and sponsors, as well as ways to join and support their mission. Additionally, DIVD provides a list of current open cases, demonstrating their dedication to addressing vulnerabilities in real-time. To ensure their reach and effectiveness, DIVD maintains a network of online security researchers.

They encourage individuals to join their mission and offer support through donations. With their commitment and comprehensive approach, DIVD plays a crucial role in safeguarding the digital landscape
