Contact & Responsible Disclosure

Regulatory status

Nest is a **TPR-authorised master trust** (authorisation announced 10 September 2019), established under statute and accountable to the DWP. It is **not FCA-regulated** — it is a trust-based occupational scheme. No scheme registry number is published on the authorisation announcement.

**CREST is referenced only as the accreditation of Nest’s third-party penetration testing provider** — it is not a Nest certification.

Nest publishes a genuine security contact, which is unusual for this group; phishing reports go to [email protected]. No formal vulnerability disclosure policy or bug bounty was found.
