How could Due Diligence issues arise?

Hidden risks that could occur with Source Code Audits.

A single vulnerability can be catastrophic for your organisation. Threats like Log4j and OpenSSL still linger within countless lines of code. Are you ready to face the challenge of finding these vulnerabilities before hackers do? Our comprehensive scan delivers a prioritised list of vulnerabilities in direct and transitive dependencies.

As industry advisors, staying aligned with leading compliance standards is essential. Achieving ISO 5230 conformance not only reinforces your expertise but also positions your firm to become a certifying or auditing authority, expanding your service offerings.

Outdated and deprecated open source dependencies might seem harmless, but they lurk like silent threats, exposing your applications to a slew of operational nightmares. Remember, proactive dependency management is your best defence against the hidden operational risks.

This diagram outlines a technical due diligence process using software composition analysis to scan code (remotely or via source), identify risks like vulnerabilities and licenses, and generate reports through manual auditing and SBOM creation.
