+# Security Policy
+
+TrustGraph is an open-source AI graph processing pipeline. We take security
+seriously and appreciate the responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities by the
+community.
+
+## Supported Versions
+
+Security updates are only provided for the latest stable release line.
+Versions prior to 2.0.0 are end-of-life and will not receive security patches.
+
+| Version   | Supported          |
+| --------- | ------------------ |
+| >= 2.0.0  | :white_check_mark: |
+| < 2.0.0   | :x:                |
+
+If you are running a version older than 2.0.0, we strongly recommend upgrading
+to the latest 2.x release before reporting a vulnerability, as the issue may
+already be resolved.
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+**Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues,
+pull requests, or discussions.** Doing so could expose users of TrustGraph to
+risk before a fix is available.
+
+Instead, report security vulnerabilities by emailing the TrustGraph security
+team directly:
+
+📧 **[info@trustgraph.ai](mailto:info@trustgraph.ai)**
+
+Please include as much of the following information as possible to help us
+triage and resolve the issue quickly:
+
+- A clear description of the vulnerability and its potential impact
+- The affected component(s) and version(s) of TrustGraph
+- Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
+- Proof-of-concept code or a minimal reproducing example (if applicable)
+- Any suggested mitigations or patches (if you have them)
+
+## What to Expect
+
+After submitting a report, you can expect the following process:
+
+1. **Acknowledgement** — We will acknowledge receipt of your report within
+   **72 hours**.
+2. **Assessment** — We will investigate and assess the severity of the
+   vulnerability within **7 days** of acknowledgement.
+3. **Updates** — We will keep you informed of our progress. If we need
+   additional information, we will reach out to you directly.
+4. **Resolution** — Once a fix is developed and validated, we will coordinate
+   with you on the disclosure timeline before publishing a patch release.
+5. **Credit** — With your permission, we will publicly credit your responsible
+   disclosure in the release notes accompanying the fix.
+
+## Severity Assessment
+
+We evaluate vulnerabilities using the
+[CVSS v3.1](https://www.first.org/cvss/v3-1/) scoring system as a guide:
+
+| Severity | CVSS Score | Target Response Time |
+| -------- | ---------- | -------------------- |
+| Critical | 9.0 – 10.0 | 48 hours             |
+| High     | 7.0 – 8.9  | 7 days               |
+| Medium   | 4.0 – 6.9  | 30 days              |
+| Low      | 0.1 – 3.9  | 90 days              |
+
+## Scope
+
+The following are in scope for security reports:
+
+- Core TrustGraph Python packages (`trustgraph`, `trustgraph-base`, etc.)
+- The TrustGraph REST/graph gateway and processing pipeline components
+- Docker and Kubernetes deployment configurations shipped in this repository
+- Authentication, authorization, or data isolation issues
+
+The following are **out of scope**:
+
+- Third-party services or infrastructure not maintained by TrustGraph
+- Issues in upstream dependencies (please report those to the respective
+  project maintainers)
+- Denial-of-service attacks requiring significant resources
+- Social engineering attacks
+
+## Preferred Languages
+
+We prefer all security communications in **English**.
+
+## Policy
+
+TrustGraph follows the principle of
+[Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD)](https://vuls.cert.org/confluence/display/CVD).
+We ask that you give us a reasonable amount of time to investigate and address
+a reported vulnerability before any public disclosure.
