Three things, said plainly, because a security manager will work them out in a minute and it is better to say them first.
Those gaps are the reason the confidential route exists. An operator or a security provider can send an incident through the site and it is anonymised absolutely: no site, no company, no product, no person, country and year only, in the public entry and in the paid record. That rule never bends, which is why people use it.
