Company profile
researched Aug 2026Intigriti is a Belgium-founded crowdsourced cybersecurity company that operates a bug bounty and vulnerability disclosure platform connecting organizations with a community of vetted security researchers, or ethical hackers. Customers define a program scope, select whether the program is public or invitation-only, set reward levels and rules of engagement, and receive vulnerability reports that Intigriti's in-house triage team validates before they reach the customer's developers.
The platform spans four main service types: continuous bug bounty programs, Pentest as a Service (PTaaS) for time-boxed and compliance-driven testing, managed vulnerability disclosure programs (VDP), and live hacking events. Intigriti also markets AI-specific scoping across these formats, covering issues such as prompt injection, unsafe tool use, harmful model outputs and integration risks in AI systems. The company reports more than 400 active programs, a community of over 150,000 registered researchers and more than β¬60 million in bounties paid.
Intigriti positions itself around EU data sovereignty, stating that data is hosted exclusively in Europe and that it is GDPR-compliant, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certified, and it operates a public Trust Center dashboard for its security and compliance posture.
Founding story
Stijn Jans, an experienced cybersecurity consultant and penetration tester, identified a gap in the security testing market: traditional tests were intensive but short and infrequent, while companies were shipping software continuously. He founded Intigriti in 2016 to apply a pay-per-bug model that harnesses a community of ethical hackers for continuous testing, launching Belgium's first bug bounty platform together with The CoFoundry and building on the expertise of KU Leuven's DistriNet lab.
Business model
Intigriti sells crowdsourced security testing as a SaaS platform on a subscription basis, with customers paying for confirmed, triaged vulnerabilities rather than for testing volume. Bug bounty rewards are paid out to the researchers who submit valid findings, while Intigriti's in-house triage team validates and deduplicates submissions. Product packages span bug bounty, PTaaS, managed VDP and live hacking events, with integrations (Slack, Jira, Brinqa, API, webhooks) included in every package and the company stating there are no forced upgrades or hidden costs.
Subscription-based access to the platform with customers paying for validated vulnerabilities (pay-for-impact), plus time-boxed PTaaS engagements billed on a pay-for-value basis; researchers receive bounty rewards for valid, in-scope, unique submissions.
Traction
The company reports 400+ active programs, 150,000+ registered security researchers and more than β¬60 million in bounties paid. In 2020 it cited over 75 customers, 15,000 ethical hackers from 130 countries and more than 10,000 vulnerabilities detected and resolved for clients in the prior year. It reported 650% growth between its 2020 Series A and its April 2022 Series B, and a team of 100+ employees.
Latest developments
In August 2026 Intigriti announced it had been named the new provider for Adobe's Bug Bounty Program, effective September 1, 2026, and previewed CrowdRecon β a product that turns hacker reconnaissance into security intelligence β at DEF CON 34's Bug Bounty Village. Recent platform positioning emphasizes AI security and safety testing across bug bounty, PTaaS, VDP and live hacking event formats.
