+# 🔒 Security Policy
+
+## 📖 Overview
+
+At **ScriptureFlow**, we are committed to maintaining a secure and trustworthy open-source project.  
+While our platform focuses on making Scripture widely accessible, we take the integrity of our data, systems, and community contributions seriously.  
+
+This document outlines how to responsibly report vulnerabilities and how we handle security issues.
+
+---
+
+## 🧭 Supported Versions
+
+The following versions of ScriptureFlow are currently supported with security updates:
+
+| Version | Supported |
+|----------|------------|
+| `main` (active branch) | ✅ Yes |
+| Older snapshots (tagged commits) | ⚠️ Partial (best effort) |
+| Archived forks or mirrors | ❌ No |
+
+If you are using ScriptureFlow through a CDN (e.g., jsDelivr), make sure to pin to the latest stable commit for security and integrity.
+

+
+## 🛡️ Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+If you discover a security issue, data integrity problem, or potential abuse of the API:
+
+1. **Do not open a public issue.**  
+   Publicly posting vulnerabilities may put users and contributors at risk.
+
+2. **Instead, please email:**  
+   📧 **johnathan@listingsprogh.com**  
+   with the subject line:  
+   **“[Security Report] Vulnerability in ScriptureFlow”**
+
+3. Include the following details (if applicable):
+   - Description of the issue  
+   - Steps to reproduce  
+   - Affected endpoints or files  
+   - Any proof-of-concept code or logs  
+   - Suggested mitigation (if known)
+
+You will receive a response within **96 hours**, and we aim to resolve confirmed issues within **14 days**, depending on complexity.
+

+
+## 🔐 Data & Integrity Guidelines
+
+Even though ScriptureFlow provides public-domain or licensed Scripture data, contributors should:
+- Avoid adding files with embedded executables, scripts, or unverified external links.  
+- Verify that all JSON and metadata files are free from malicious payloads.  
+- Ensure all automation scripts (Node, Python, etc.) use HTTPS endpoints.  
+- Do not commit sensitive credentials, tokens, or API keys.  
+
+If any accidental exposure occurs, please alert the maintainers immediately.
+
+---
+
+## 📦 Dependency Security
+
+We use **npm audit** and **GitHub Dependabot** to detect vulnerabilities in dependencies.  
+If you find a package or dependency with a known CVE that hasn’t been addressed, open a GitHub Issue titled:  
+**“[Security] Vulnerable Dependency Found”**
+
+---
+
+## 🧱 Verification & Integrity
+
+All production data (Bible text, indexes, and JSON builds) are:
+- Generated through verified build scripts.
+- Checked for valid UTF-8 encoding and structural integrity.
+- Distributed via trusted CDNs (e.g., jsDelivr or GitHub Pages).
+
+Consumers of the API are encouraged to:
+- Verify file integrity using commit hashes.
+- Pin to specific release tags or commit IDs.
+
+---
+
+## 🤝 Responsible Disclosure Policy
+
+We adhere to the principles of **responsible disclosure**:
+- You may test vulnerabilities responsibly, provided it does not harm or disrupt the project or its users.  
+- Do not publicly share exploits or vulnerability details until we have confirmed and resolved the issue.  
+- Acknowledgment and thanks will be given to security researchers who report issues ethically.
+
+---
+
+## 🙏 Closing Note
+
+ScriptureFlow is built on openness, transparency, and community trust.  
+By following this policy, you help protect users, contributors, and the mission of keeping the Word accessible safely and securely.
