Actually, there are. The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure
(https://www.divd.nl/) for instance. They scan the internet for known
vulnerabilities and contact vulnerable companies to notify them.
To ease their work they have strongly promoted the use of security.txt
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9116) which is now mandatory for
government in the Netherlands.

It is completely run by volunteers, purely with the aim to make the
internet safer. Don't know if any of the volunteers is called Claus, but
you can call them saints :).

Regards.
