Financial operations

Security spend as a managed cost line

Multi-currency wallets, per-program budgets, subscription entitlements, usage metering and invoicing on one ledger-backed trail — so finance sees a number instead of a surprise.

Automated payouts and compliance exports are Professional-tier capabilities.

Capabilities

What the finance side includes

Programs are financial operations. These are the controls that keep them predictable.

Multi-currency wallets

Hold and settle in USD, EUR, GBP, INR and ETB, with conversion at disclosed rates and fees.

Budget allocation

Per-program and per-engagement budgets with allocation against severity bands and consumption tracked live.

Subscription management

Plan and entitlement management with tiered offerings and entitlement-aware feature gating.

Usage metering

Consumed effort measured and visible to both sides during an engagement, not only on the invoice.

Overage handling

Pre-agreed thresholds and rates, so exceeding a tier is a planned cost rather than a billing dispute.

Invoicing and reconciliation

Invoices generated from metering and reward records, then reconciled against them.

Incentives engine

Promotions, referral codes, contract-term pricing and explicit stacking rules so calculations are deterministic.

Transaction audit trail

Every movement recorded and attributable, including who initiated it and why.

Step-up verification

Additional verification on large payouts, budget changes and payout method changes.

Money mechanics

The details finance teams ask about before a program is approved.

Currencies
USD, EUR, GBP, INR and ETB for wallet and settlement operations.
Conversion
Real-time rates with platform fees disclosed separately rather than folded into the net.
Budget alerts
Notification as consumption approaches an allocation, before it is exhausted.
Reward accounting
Every approved reward is charged against the relevant budget when it is approved.
Ledger
Balances derived from transactions rather than from a single mutable number.
Reconciliation
Consumed versus invoiced, with the difference explained by the transaction trail.

Commercial shapes

How spend is committed

The platform supports the three commercial models security teams actually buy, without a separate billing system for each.

Pay per finding

Crowd-sourced work: spend follows validated findings against a budget ceiling you set.

  • Threshold alerts as budget is consumed
  • Reward calculation shown before payout

Talk to us

The platform provides calculations and records financial movements. It does not provide accounting, audit or tax advice, and the customer remains responsible for its own reporting position.

Common questions

Finance questions we hear most

How do we stop a bounty program running over budget?
Set a program budget with allocation per severity band and enable threshold alerts. Rewards are charged against the budget when approved, so remaining allocation is always current.
Who owns the payout calculation?
The platform computes fees, withholding and net payable, and shows the calculation to both parties before payment. Your finance team approves the run.
Can we pay in more than one currency?
Yes. Wallets and settlement support multiple currencies, with conversion at real-time rates and fees disclosed as a separate line.
Does this replace our accounting system?
No. It produces the transaction record, metering and reconciliation data your accounting system needs. It is not an accounting package and does not provide audit or tax advice.

Put security spend under control before the first payout.

We will set up budgets, severity-band allocation and approval thresholds so finance can approve a program with a number attached to it.
