# Security

> An overview of Resend security features and practices.

## Governance

Resend establishes policies and controls, monitors compliance with those controls, and proves the security and compliance to third-party auditors.

Our policies are based on the following **foundational principles**:

    Access should be limited to only those with a legitimate business needs,
    based on the principle of least privilege.

    Security controls should be applied consistently across all areas of the
    enterprise.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Defense in Depth" icon="square-3">

    principle of defense-in-depth.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Continuous Improvement" icon="square-4">
    The implementation of controls should be iterative, continuously improving
    effectiveness and decreasing friction.

## Product Security

### Penetration testing

Resend engages with third-party firms to conduct penetration testing at least annually.

All areas of the Resend product and cloud infrastructure are in-scope for these assessments, and source code is fully available to the testers in order to maximize the effectiveness and coverage.

You can download the latest penetration test report on the [Documents](https://resend.com/settings/documents) page.

### Vulnerability scanning

Resend uses multiple vulnerability monitoring techniques including code-level scanning, dependency scanning, and security reviews to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Vulnerabilities are prioritized based on severity and risk, and are remediated according to the following schedule:

* Critical: 15 Days
* High: 30 Days
* Medium: 90 Day
* Low: 180 Days
* Informational: As needed
