+# Security
+
+If you believe you have identified a security related issue or vulnerability,
+then we encourage you to responsibly disclose it to us as soon as possible.
+
+## Reporting vulnerabilities
+
+Arm takes security issues seriously and welcomes feedback from researchers and
+the security community in order to improve the security of its products and
+services. We operate a coordinated disclosure policy for disclosing
+vulnerabilities and other security issues.
+
+Security issues can be complex and one single timescale doesn't fit all
+circumstances. We will make best endeavours to inform you when we expect
+security notifications and fixes to be available and facilitate coordinated
+disclosure when notifications and patches/mitigations are available.
+
+### Report
+
+For all security issues, contact Arm by email at
+[arm-security@arm.com](mailto:arm-security@arm.com). In the body of the email
+include as much information as possible about the issue or vulnerability and any
+additional contact details.
+
+### Secure submission using PGP
+
+We support and encourage secure submission of vulnerability reports using PGP,
+using the key below. If you would like replies to be encrypted, please provide
+your own public key through a secure mechanism.
