+# Security Policy
+
+Due to the nature of what we are doing, fwupd takes security very seriously.
+If you have any concerns please let us know.
+
+## Supported Versions
+
+The `1.2.x` and `1.1.x` branches are fully supported by the upstream authors.
+Additonally, the `1.0.x` branch is supported for security and bug fixes.
+
+Older releases than this are unsupported by upstream but may be supported by
+your distributor or distribution. If you open an issue with one of these older
+releases the very first question from us is going to be asking if it's fixed on
+a supported branch. You can use the flatpak or snap packages if your distributor
+is unwilling to update to a supported version.
+
+| Version | Supported          |

+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+If you find a vulnerability in fwupd your first thing you should do is email
+all the maintainers, which are currently listed in the `MAINTAINERS` file in
+this repository.
+
+Failing that, please report the issue against the `fwupd` component in Red Hat
+bugzilla, with the security checkbox set. You should get a response within 3
+days. We have no bug bountry program, but we're happy to credit you in updates
+if this is what you would like us to do.
