Further technical and organizational measures are contained in these policies, and they are based on best practice and international standards, e.g., ISO27k1 and NIST.

</p>

<h3>Penetration testing</h3>
<p>
	trivago conducts penetration testing by third-party experts once a quarter throughout all customer-facing systems. Results and issues are logged, assessed, and are managed centrally by the Incident and Response Team.
</p>

<h3>Vulnerability disclosure program</h3>
<p>
	trivago offers a bug bounty program to attract hackers to find IT Security bugs in trivago’s products with the goal to continually improve the level of IT Security of trivago products.
