The Department of Justice releases a set of guidelines to help businesses create programs for releasing vulnerabilities.
The US Department of Justice has released a framework to help businesses develop formal vulnerability disclosure programs. More businesses are adopting vulnerability disclosure programs to better detect security problems that could lead to data compromise and disruption.
Some informally accept vulnerability reports with no structured process; others have formal programs with policies to dictate how they accept vulnerabilities and share the information with those affected. These policies may also include authorized methods for finding flaws in a business' systems, services, and products.

It doesn't specify the goals and structure for these programs as every business has different goals and priorities.
