Severity Labs vs Intigriti managed triage
Two ways to handle bug bounty triage that solve different problems. Independent third-party validation that works with any program, or platform-managed triage that comes with Intigriti's managed services — here's how to tell which fits.

Intigriti managed
When Intigriti managed triage is the right call
Real strengths, not strawmanned.
- You're already on an Intigriti managed plan and want triage included in the price you're paying.
- Your program targets European researchers and Intigriti's hunter community is your primary pool.
- Your security team prefers one vendor for intake, researcher relations, and triage, with platform-mediated dispute resolution.
- You don't have meaningful inbound outside Intigriti, so an independent validation layer would add little.
Severity Labs
When independent triage is the right call
Where Severity Labs structurally differs.
- Your program spans multiple intakes (Intigriti plus HackerOne plus a self-hosted security@ inbox) and you want one consistent triage layer across all of them.
- Compliance prefers severity calls validated by an independent third party rather than the platform that benefits from the program.
- You want a second pair of eyes on highs and criticals before they reach your engineering tracker.
- You're on Intigriti's self-serve tier (no managed triage included) and need triage capacity without upgrading the plan.
Both, together
How they work together
Plenty of programs use both. Intigriti handles intake, deduplication, and a first-pass triage. Severity Labs adds independent validation on highs and criticals before those reports land in your tracker, plus business-context severity that the platform doesn't generate. Engineers see one ticket per finding with both perspectives recorded.
FAQ
Questions we get on intro calls about Intigriti.
Does Severity Labs work with programs hosted on Intigriti?
Yes. Intigriti is just where reports originate. Our work is the validation, scoring, and dev-ready handoff that happens after.
Do I have to leave Intigriti to use Severity Labs?
No. We work alongside platform-managed programs, typically as an independent validation layer on highs and criticals before they reach your engineering tracker.
Is this a replacement for Intigriti's managed triage?
Not by default. Some clients use Severity Labs instead of upgrading to Intigriti managed (when they're on self-serve and don't want the upgrade), but most use both.
How is pricing different?
We charge a monthly retainer based on report volume and SLA. No per-bug fees, no platform fees. Intigriti managed triage is bundled with your platform plan.
Can you push validated findings into our tracker from an Intigriti program?
Yes. We import findings, validate, score, and hand off to Jira, Linear, GitHub, or ServiceNow. The Intigriti record stays intact.
