Companies shape their digital future through open innovation and benefit from shared knowledge and development capacities as well as strategic, open development and innovation alliances.They strengthen their digital sovereignty, reduce the vendor lock-in effect and improve IT security, quality and transparency through open source communities.

Bitsea specializes in auditing software systems and identifying hidden risks for companies.We support technical due diligence and advise operators of critical infrastructures (KRITIS).

New legal requirements in the EU such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) require companies to keep a detailed list of all software components (“SBOM Software Bill of Materials”) and regularly check for known security vulnerabilities.

An efficient open source management framework and the use of suitable processes and tool chains such as Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and Software Asset Management (SAM) are a prerequisite for the legally compliant and sustainable use of OSS.

Bitsea provides support in all aspects of open source management so that our customers are protected from lack of compliance and cyber-attacks on the software supply chain.

Bitsea is TISAX certified and provides open source compliance and management services in accordance with ISO/IEC 5230.
