Frequently asked questions
How is HackerOne priced?
HackerOne does not publish list pricing. Its pricing page routes buyers to a security expert instead, and each product - Hai, H1 Bounty, H1 Agentic Pentest, H1 Continuous Testing, H1 Remediation, H1 AI Red Teaming, H1 Code - is an entry point into the wider platform. Expect a quote scoped to attack surface, number of programs and services required. Rewards paid to security researchers are separate from platform fees.
What compliance certifications and attestations does HackerOne hold?
The HackerOne trust centre lists SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS, CCPA, FedRAMP, Vendor Security Alliance, EU-US Data Privacy Framework, UK Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 29147 and ISO 30111. HIPAA and ISO 42001 are not listed as certifications, so buyers with those obligations must confirm contractual coverage directly.
What AI capabilities does the platform include?
Hai, HackerOne's agentic AI orchestrator, coordinates agents across discovery, validation, prioritisation and remediation, scoring findings continuously and reducing prioritisation decisions from hours to seconds. AI also powers H1 Agentic Pentest, always-on continuous testing, AI code review and H1 AI Red Teaming, mapped to OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS and NIST AI RMF. HackerOne reports 90% of customers have Hai enabled.
How long does implementation and time-to-value take?
HackerOne does not publish an implementation timeline. It offers managed and professional services that it says help programs reach operational maturity faster, and customers report measurable gains: Shopify cited a 62% acceleration in validation and triage, and one architect reported validation time falling from 20 minutes to 5 using the Hai Insight Agent. Expect a phased rollout rather than a same-day switch-on.
Does HackerOne use customer data to train AI models?
HackerOne's privacy policy states it uses machine learning to understand more about community members and customers and to improve its business and services, based on how the services are used, content submitted through the services, and feedback received. The policy text reviewed does not state an opt-out from that use. Organisations with strict data-use requirements should confirm terms contractually before adopting.
How does HackerOne integrate with existing tooling?
The platform advertises 36+ integrations and delivers findings and remediation guidance into the tools engineering teams already use. The pages reviewed do not name specific connectors, and no Model Context Protocol server is documented, so buyers should validate the SIEM, ticketing, source-control or CI integrations they need during evaluation.
