We’re thrilled to share that OSPO Now has been accepted as an official OpenChain partner. This milestone recognises our team’s track record helping organisations build, manage, and mature secure and compliant open source projects with confidence.
Why this matters
OpenChain is the Linux Foundation project behind two international standards that make open source use safer and more predictable across the software supply chain.
- ISO/IEC 5230: the international standard for open source licence compliance.
- ISO/IEC 18974: the international standard for open source security assurance.
These standards provide a clear and lightweight framework to reduce risk and increase compliance when building and using open source products.
What our partnership unlocks
As an OpenChain partner, OSPO Now is recognised as a service provider qualified to support small and large organisations to safely adopt open source. This partnership affirms our belief that a strong OSPO, whether in-house or delivered as a service, is pivotal to scalable compliance and sustainable open source adoption.
"An extensive community of service providers is key to enabling choice across the market. One reason we are delighted to work with OSPO Now is to enable such choice. Another is that the emergence of OSPOs has provided a pivotal opportunity for companies to improve their process management around open source, and direct expertise in this domain is a vital part of ensuring health."
