Context

Why this matters

Open source compliance is easiest to manage when teams know what they use, why they use it, and what obligations come with it. We help organizations build a clear picture of open source use across products, internal systems, vendor relationships, and procurement pathways.

When to bring us in

  • Preparing for procurement, grant, security, or vendor review
  • Understanding license obligations across applications and dependencies
  • Creating a repeatable intake and approval process for new open source use
  • Supporting legal review without turning engineering work into a bottleneck
  • Prioritizing remediation when risk is already present

What We Deliver

  • Open source use and compliance audit
  • License and obligation inventory to support review with counsel
  • Risk register and prioritized remediation roadmap
  • Intake, approval, and exception workflows
  • Training for engineering, security, procurement, and program teams

Outcome

What changes after this work

A practical compliance program reduces surprises, shortens review cycles, and gives teams a shared process for making open source decisions. It also creates the foundation for SBOM readiness, contribution policies, and stronger software supply chain governance.

Good fit when

Your team needs to understand open source obligations before procurement, grant, security, vendor, or internal review.
