security.txt (RFC 9116) in Affiliate and partner marketing
It tells a researcher where to report a vulnerability instead of guessing.
8 of 40 companies we measured here publish it, that is 20%. Last checked 2026-10-17.
20% here against 11% across every category we measure. Affiliate and partner marketing sits above the overall share for this criterion.
This page counts companies, not product entries: a company with two products in this category is one company here and two rows below.
