## Security & Compliance

Cosmos Enterprise includes a comprehensive security program focused on proactive risk reduction, transparent disclosure, and operational readiness.

* **Independent security audits** of enterprise modules and long-term support releases, conducted by reputable third-party firms, with audit reports made available to Cosmos Enterprise subscribers
* **Coordinated vulnerability disclosure** processes that ensure impacted parties are notified promptly and responsibly, alongside access to patches with hands-on remediation guidance and support
* **Defined security SLAs**, including time-to-notification and time-to-patch targets for supported components

### Bug Bounty Program Coverage

Enterprise modules included in Cosmos Enterprise receive **increased security investment** through the Cosmos bug bounty program.

* **Elevated bug bounty incentives** are applied to production-critical enterprise modules to encourage proactive, responsible vulnerability discovery
* Scope definitions and reward levels reflect the **operational importance and potential impact** of enterprise components
* Findings are handled through **coordinated vulnerability disclosure** to support timely remediation and responsible communication

### Compliance Documentation

Cosmos Enterprise provides **compliance-ready security documentation**, including:

* Audit reports and executive summaries
* Security questionnaires and attestations
* Incident response and escalation procedures

These materials are designed to support internal risk reviews, partner due diligence, and regulatory or compliance workflows.

## Long-Term Stability & Lifecycle Support

Cosmos Enterprise emphasizes long-term operational stability through structured release management and backward-compatibility commitments.

* **Long-term support (LTS) branches** for major versions of enterprise components
* A strong **backward compatibility commitment**; when breaking changes are unavoidable, Cosmos Labs provides migration guidance and hands-on support
* Enterprise components are **upgraded, validated, and tested** as part of the core Cosmos SDK release lifecycle
* **Comprehensive end-to-end test suites** covering common production usage patterns and upgrade scenarios

This approach enables teams to plan upgrades predictably, minimize operational risk, and operate production networks with confidence over multi-year horizons.

## Shared Responsibility Model

Cosmos Enterprise security guarantees apply to supported enterprise modules and infrastructure components. Secure deployment, validator operations, and application-layer security remain a shared responsibility between Cosmos Labs and the network operator.

Details regarding scope, SLAs, and supported configurations are defined as part of each Cosmos Enterprise subscription package.
