Understanding the Industry Comparison Report

The Industry Comparison Report provides a comparison of your program or engagement’s performance by benchmarking against a relevant industry. This helps your organization improve performance, identify methods of improving operational efficiency, and your company’s relative cost position against the industry.

You can view a snapshot of your program or engagement health that includes the submissions and funds for a given time period.

The report provides the following information per quarter:

• Number of submissions
• Priority of submissions
• Unique researchers
• Number of rewards
• Number of accepted submissions
• Number of fixed submissions
• Payout by submission severity

Note: Only the Program Owner can generate this report.

Reading the Industry Comparison Report

Consider the following while reading the reports:

• The best performing industry among the three industries you have selected is compared to the Bugcrowd program or engagement. The percentage is displayed accordingly.

• If the Bugcrowd program or engagement performs better than the remaining industries, the percentage text is displayed in green.

  

• If any other industry’s program performs better than Bugcrowd, the percentage text is displayed in that industry’s color.

  

• The Spend chart is further interpreted by priority and can be seen in the pay by priority section of the generated report.
