PROTECT AGAINST LEGAL, OPERATIONAL, AND CYBERSECURITY RISKS

PROTECT AGAINST LEGAL, OPERATIONAL, AND CYBERSECURITY RISKS

Organizations depend on open source and AI to build software faster, reduce costs, and accelerate innovation. That value comes with obligations. Whether the code was developed in-house, from open source, or generated by AI, it is crucial to know what is in your software understand how it entered the codebase, and continuously monitor license, IP, and security exposure.

SERVICES MODELED FOR REAL-WORLD SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENTS

M&A Audit Services

M&A audit services evaluate software assets during acquisitions to identify third-party, licensing, security, and operational risks. They give buyers and sellers clear visibility into what’s in the codebase so they can make informed decisions, negotiate effectively, and plan for post-close integration and remediation.

  • Baseline transaction support for software diligence
  • Targeted forensic review where code requires deeper analysis
  • Findings suitable for remediation, evaluation, negotiation, and post-close planning

Baseline Product Audits

Establish a comprehensive inventory of third-party software in current products and development streams. We analyze source code, binaries, archives, containers, and dependencies to produce a transparent picture of software content.

  • Software bill of materials generation
  • License and obligation review
  • Vulnerability identification and remediation support

SBOM Creation

Create complete and useful SBOMs from the code and artifacts you actually ship, then validate what your suppliers provide. We help organizations move from checkbox output to a more accurate and comprehensive bill of materials.

  • Comprehensive component discovery across source, binaries, containers, and dependencies
  • Visibility into open source, third-party, in-house, and AI-generated code
  • Support for standard SBOM formats such as SPDX and CycloneDX
  • Version-specific SBOMs for customers, regulators, and internal teams

Vulnerability and Remediation

Resolve open source vulnerabilities with clarity and speed. Bitsea helps you identify affected components, prioritize the issues that matter most, and support remediation across your development and release processes.

  • Precise identification of vulnerable components across source code, binaries, and containers
  • Risk-based prioritization for faster and more effective remediation
  • Clear guidance for upgrades, replacements, and mitigation measures
  • Easy integration into CI/CD pipelines and existing development workflows
  • Continuous tracking of vulnerability status across products and releases

Standardization

As part of our commitment to trusted open source management, Bitsea supports industry standardization through active involvement in OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230. We help organizations translate the standard into practical compliance processes that work across engineering, legal, procurement, and supply chain teams.

  • Active involvement in OpenChain and OSS compliance standardization
  • Practical guidance aligned with ISO/IEC 5230
  • Support for auditable policies, training, and governance
  • Scalable compliance processes across products and suppliers
  • Stronger trust, audit readiness, and regulatory alignment

Regulatory Readiness

Prepare for the next generation of software and cybersecurity regulation. Bitsea helps organizations operationalize requirements from the CRA, NIS2, U.S. EO 14028, and CERT-In with practical support for SBOMs, supply chain transparency, and ongoing risk management. Our work in OCCTET strengthens this approach by helping turn CRA obligations into usable open-source tooling and processes for SMEs.

  • Readiness for CRA, NIS2, DORA, RED, U.S. EO 14028, and CERT-In
  • Practical support for SBOMs and supply chain transparency
  • Alignment across engineering, security, legal, and procurement
  • Continuous visibility into compliance and cyber risk
  • Experience shaped by our work in EU funded OCCTET
