Open Source Software Audit

Identify Licensing Risks. Eliminate Vulnerabilities. Secure Your Codebase.

At BDSOC Inc., we conduct thorough Open Source Software (OSS) Audits to uncover hidden risks in your applications. We analyze your software for security flaws, licensing conflicts, and compliance issues introduced by third-party and open source dependencies.

We examine all open source components used in your codebase, deployment, and infrastructure to detect security, legal, and operational risk.

Open source component inventory and usage
License types and legal compliance validation
Known security vulnerabilities (CVEs) in dependencies
Unpatched or outdated packages
Transitive dependency risks
Software composition analysis (SCA)
Policy violations and usage restrictions
Export control and distribution risks
Code origin and integrity validation
Compliance with HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR, and internal standards

What We Audit

Open source software is powerful, but without visibility into its risks, your application may be exposed to lawsuits, security breaches, or failed compliance audits.

Common problems we detect:

✔ Use of GPL-licensed code in proprietary applications
✔ Critical CVEs in production packages
✔ Unapproved third-party dependencies
✔ Inconsistent or missing SBOM documentation
✔ Lack of patch management or monitoring policies

Why OSS Audits Matter

Step 1: Codebase Scoping
We identify all applications, libraries, and containers to be audited.

Step 2: Automated Software Composition Analysis
We run SCA tools to build a complete inventory of open source components.

Step 3: License and Vulnerability Review
We identify licensing risks and match all components against known vulnerability databases.

Step 4: Risk Prioritization and Policy Check
We flag components violating your organization’s legal or security policies.

Step 5: Final Report and Remediation Plan
We deliver a detailed audit report and actionable steps to eliminate risk

Why Choose BDSOC Inc.

Two widely recognized frameworks for structuring an incident response plan are developed by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and SANS (SysAdmin, Audit, Network, Security). Both frameworks outline similar steps but differ in their approach:
