Frequently asked questions
Short answers to what people ask most, about posting, responding, fees and your data. If yours is not here, contact us and we will answer it.
For clients
How does payment work?
Posting a job on Security Solved is free at the moment. Payment for the work itself is arranged directly with the security professional you hire — we do not process it, hold it in escrow, or take a cut of it.
How long does a job stay up?
It stays live for a fixed period from the moment it publishes, then expires on its own. You can post it again at any time, and you can close it early once you have found someone.
Do you take a cut of the work?
No. Posting a job is free, and we take nothing from the work itself.
For security professionals
What does it cost to appear in search?
Nothing. Listing a profile is free and it does not expire. You appear in search and can respond to open jobs without paying anything.
Who can see the qualifications I upload?
Only you and the platform. Uploaded documents are stored outside the public webroot, and every access is checked against your specific profile — they are never shown on your public profile. Your privacy and confidentiality matter here more than anywhere else on the site.
Accounts and data
Is my personal information private?
Yes. We collect what is needed to run the marketplace and nothing more, and we do not sell it. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail on what we collect and why.
How do I reset my password?
Use "Forgot password" on the login page. The reset link is valid for 30 minutes.
How do I verify my email?
We send a verification link when you register. It's valid for 24 hours. If it expires you can request a new one from your account.
