 Security
 --------
 
-Security is a high priority of BDK; disclosure of security vulnerabilities helps
-prevent user loss of funds.
+Given the critical nature of BDK as a wallet library, we take security very seriously.
 
-Note that BDK is currently considered "pre-production" during this time, there
-is no special handling of security issues. Please simply open an issue on
-Github.
-
-BDK requires all commits to be signed using PGP. Refer to
-[this guide](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Signing-Your-Work)
-if you don't have a PGP key set up with `git` yet.
+For information on how to report security vulnerabilities, please refer to the [Security Policy](SECURITY.md).
