Security Policy

Synthetic Codex Research Lab maintains a structured, privacy-conscious, and ethically grounded approach to all security research activity. This policy defines how testing is scoped, how tools are used, and how safety is prioritized.

Core principles

  • Safety first: No testing that risks system stability or data integrity.
  • Authorization required: All external testing requires clear written permission.
  • Data minimization: No unnecessary collection or retention of sensitive data.
  • Transparency: Findings are documented clearly and shared only with authorized parties.
  • Ethics above opportunity: No use of research for exploitation or unauthorized gain.

Operational boundaries

  • No probing or scanning outside explicitly sanctioned scopes.
  • No exploitation beyond what is necessary to demonstrate and confirm impact.
  • No intentional interaction with real user data unless unavoidable and explicitly authorized.
  • No denial-of-service, resource exhaustion, or destructive actions.

Use of tools

Tools such as HTTP proxies, traffic analyzers, log processors, and AI-based assistants are used only to support authorized research. Their purpose is to improve visibility, shorten feedback loops, and sharpen analysis – not to extend scope or bypass agreements.
