Vulnerability Disclosure Policy


At Canon Production Printing, we take the security of our IT systems seriously and value the privacy of our customers and stakeholders. We appreciate the contributions of security researchers who support us in improving the security of our IT systems and products. This policy explains the rules and procedures for conducting vulnerability research on our IT systems and reporting potential vulnerabilities to the CPP Information Security team.

1. Scope

This policy applies to the IT services delivered as part of the Canon Production Printing website.

In case vulnerabilities are detected related to CPP products, then report these via the CPP vulnerability disclosure for products: https://cpp.canon/products-technologies/security/vulnerability-disclosure-policy/

2. Authorization

When you sincerely follow our vulnerability disclosure policy, we deem your research authorized. We will collaborate with you to understand and rectify any issues quickly while refraining from initiating any legal action against you or interfering with any other legal action taken by a third party against you with respect to your research. You may understand that we cannot ensure that you won’t face prosecution for committing an offense if you investigate a weakness.

Our policy is based on the guidelines for reporting weaknesses in IT systems of the National Cyber Security Centre of the Ministry of Security and Justice in the Netherlands.

3. Guidelines

The Canon Production Printing Information Security team is committed to protecting our IT systems by maintaining and improving the security of such systems and their processes. As part of this commitment, we invite security researchers to help protect such systems of Canon Production Printing by proactively reporting security vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

When you find a weakness or vulnerability in one of our IT systems, please act with extreme care and caution and only use the necessary methods or techniques to find or demonstrate the weaknesses.

When conducting security research on our IT systems, please adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Do not use social engineering to gain access to a system.
  • Do not alter the system in any way.
  • Do only infiltrate a system if necessary. If you manage to enter a system, do not share access with others.
  • Do not attempt to access, modify, or delete any data that does not belong to you or disrupt the usual functioning or availability of our IT systems. If you need to copy information for your investigation, never copy more than you need. If one record is sufficient, do not go any further.
  • Do not use weaknesses you discover for purposes other than your investigation. Refrain from exploiting any vulnerabilities for malicious purposes, such as data theft, malware deployment, or causing damage to our clientele or stakeholders.
  • Do not install any back doors – not even to demonstrate the vulnerability of a system. Back doors will weaken the system’s security.
  • Do refrain from using automated tools or techniques that may cause excessive traffic or lead to denial-of-service conditions (e.g., brute force techniques, such as repeatedly entering passwords, or Denial of Service (DoS) type of attacks to gain access to systems).
  • Do not disclose any vulnerability details or proof-of-concept code to anyone other than us, until we have fixed the issue and given you permission to do so.
  • Respect the privacy and rights of our customers and stakeholders and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
