Service Level Agreement

Last updated: February 2026

This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") is incorporated into and forms part of the agreement between Find The Breach ("we," "us," or "our") and the customer ("you" or "your") for the provision of vulnerability scanning and penetration testing services (the "Service"). This SLA defines the performance standards, uptime commitments, and remedies applicable to the Service. This SLA applies to paid subscription plans only and does not apply to free-tier or trial accounts.

1 Uptime Guarantee

Find The Breach commits to maintaining a monthly uptime percentage of at least 99.9% for the Service ("Uptime Commitment"). Monthly uptime percentage is calculated as follows:

Monthly Uptime % = ((Total Minutes in Month - Downtime Minutes) / Total Minutes in Month) x 100

"Downtime" means any period during which the Service is materially unavailable to users, as measured by Find The Breach's monitoring systems. Downtime does not include periods of scheduled maintenance or any exclusions defined in Section 6 of this SLA.

2 Support Response Times

Find The Breach provides tiered support based on the severity of the issue and the customer's subscription plan:

Severity Description Initial Response Resolution Target
Critical (P1) Service completely unavailable; data breach or security incident 1 hour 4 hours
High (P2) Major feature unavailable; scans failing; significant performance degradation 4 hours 12 hours
Medium (P3) Minor feature issue; workaround available; intermittent errors 8 hours 48 hours
Low (P4) General questions; feature requests; cosmetic issues 24 hours 5 business days

Response times are measured during business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Pacific Time), except for Critical (P1) issues, which are supported 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Scan Performance SLA

Find The Breach commits to the following target completion times for vulnerability scans initiated through the Service:

Scan Type Target Completion Time Credit if Exceeded
Quick Scan 30 minutes 5% monthly credit
Standard Scan 4 hours 5% monthly credit
Full Scan 24 hours 10% monthly credit
Optimized Full Scan 12 hours 10% monthly credit

Scan completion times are measured from scan initiation to results availability. Times may be extended for targets with large attack surfaces (>1,000 endpoints) or during high-demand periods, with notification provided to the User. Scan performance SLAs apply to paid subscription plans only.

3 Scheduled Maintenance

Find The Breach performs scheduled maintenance to ensure the continued reliability and security of the Service. The following terms apply:

  • Maintenance Window: Scheduled maintenance will occur during the standard maintenance window of Sundays from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM Pacific Time, unless otherwise communicated.
  • Advance Notice: We will provide at least seventy-two (72) hours' advance notice for scheduled maintenance via email and in-app notification. Emergency maintenance required for security purposes may be performed with shorter notice.
  • Duration: Scheduled maintenance windows will not exceed four (4) hours per occurrence and will not exceed eight (8) hours total per calendar month.
  • Exclusion: Scheduled maintenance periods are excluded from the Uptime Commitment calculation.

Emergency Maintenance

In exceptional circumstances requiring urgent security patches, critical infrastructure fixes, or zero-day vulnerability mitigations, Find The Breach may perform emergency maintenance outside scheduled windows. For emergency maintenance:

  • (a) Advance Notice: Find The Breach will provide as much advance notice as reasonably practicable, with a target of at least 1 hour for P1/P2 issues and 4 hours for P3/P4 issues.
  • (b) Notification: Notifications will be posted on the status page (/status) and sent via email to affected account administrators.
  • (c) Maximum Duration: Emergency maintenance windows shall not exceed 4 hours per incident unless a critical security threat requires extended mitigation.
  • (d) SLA Impact: Emergency maintenance exceeding 4 hours in a calendar month will be counted toward downtime calculations for SLA credit purposes.
  • (e) Post-Incident Summary: A post-incident summary will be published within 48 hours of emergency maintenance completion.

Disaster Recovery

FindTheBreach maintains a comprehensive disaster recovery plan as described at findthebreach.com/disaster-recovery. Key recovery targets include:

  • Recovery Time Objective (RTO): 4 hours for P1 services (scan engine, portal, API), 8 hours for P2 services (reports, scheduled scans, integrations).
  • Recovery Point Objective (RPO): 1 hour for database backups (PostgreSQL continuous archiving), 15 minutes for scan queue state.
  • Geographic Redundancy: EU-based backup infrastructure with Hetzner Online GmbH data centers in Falkenstein and Nuremberg, Germany.
  • DR Plan Testing: Disaster recovery procedures are tested semi-annually. Test results and recovery metrics are available to Enterprise customers upon request.
  • Data Durability: Scan results and vulnerability data are retained in accordance with the data retention policy described in the Privacy Policy. Backup verification is performed daily with automated integrity checks.

4 Incident Classification

Find The Breach classifies service incidents according to the following severity levels, which determine response times and escalation procedures:

Severity Description Response Target Update Frequency
P1 — Critical Service completely unavailable; data breach confirmed or suspected; security compromise affecting customer data 1 hour Every 2 hours
P2 — High Major feature unavailable (scanning, reporting); significant performance degradation affecting multiple customers 4 hours Every 4 hours
P3 — Medium Non-critical feature unavailable; workaround available; performance degradation affecting limited customers 8 hours Daily
P4 — Low Minor issue; cosmetic defect; documentation error; feature request 24 hours As resolved

For DORA-regulated financial sector customers, P1 incidents trigger the 4-hour initial classification notification as specified in the Data Processing Agreement.

5 Incident Response

In the event of an unplanned service disruption or security incident, Find The Breach will follow these procedures:

  • Detection: Automated monitoring systems continuously track service availability, performance, and security metrics. Alerts are escalated to the on-call engineering team immediately upon detection.
  • Communication: Affected customers will be notified within thirty (30) minutes of incident confirmation via email and through the Find The Breach status page.
  • Updates: Status updates will be provided at least every sixty (60) minutes during an ongoing incident until resolution.
  • Post-Incident Report: A root cause analysis (RCA) report will be provided to affected customers within five (5) business days of incident resolution, including a description of the incident, root cause, impact assessment, and corrective actions taken.

6 Service Credits

Monthly Uptime % Service Credit (% of Monthly Fee)
99.0% to < 99.9% 10%

  • Service credits are applied to future invoices and are not redeemable for cash.
