Who publishes the work
The journal is published by Tervaq. Security and fraud-research notes carry the Tervaq Security Intelligence byline, with links to the practice and the public guidance used in the work.
These are practical research notes and working methods, not peer-reviewed papers or independent assurance reports. An article identifies any external review or collaboration when one has taken place; readers should not infer it from the presence of a reference.
Separate evidence from interpretation
We distinguish a source’s report, a direct observation, a result reproduced under authorization, and an assessed consequence. An illustration or hypothetical example is not evidence of a real incident. When a conclusion depends on an assumption, the assumption belongs beside it.
References point to the public guidance used in an article. Original recommendations are presented as an assessment approach, not as additional requirements issued by the referenced organization. A citation does not imply endorsement of Tervaq.
Protect confidential work
Client information, source-identifying material, credentials, and customer records do not belong in a public article. A private report is not a marketing case study. Any publication arising from a commissioned engagement must follow its confidentiality and disclosure arrangements.
Use dates honestly
A publication date identifies when a note was released. Substantive revisions should update the revision date and explain the change. We do not backdate articles to imply a longer publication history or change dates merely to make old material appear new.
Corrections and questions
Send substantive corrections to contact@tervaq.com, with the article title, the statement in question, and a supporting reference where available. Do not send sensitive evidence through an ordinary initial message; request an appropriate channel first.
For an issue affecting a third-party system, use that organization’s official reporting route. Our public materials do not authorize testing or establish a bounty or payment obligation.
