Software Composition Analysis Overview
FossID finds all open source across your entire codebase, even down to modified code snippets.

What should you expect from your SCA solution?
With the explosion of open source software (OSS) adoption, effective SCA is essential to truly knowing what security vulnerabilities or software license compliance infringements may be lurking in your codebase.
Further, now that AI coding assistants are becoming mainstream, not only must an SCA solution scan your entire codebase, but to be effective SCA technology must have the ability to accurately identify code snippets belonging to open source software components.
Powerful SCA Capabilities

SBOM Management
Ingest supplier SBOMs, consolidate and export NTIA-compliant SBOMs so you can easily meet regulatory security requirements.

Code Snippet Detection
Find the smallest blocks of open source so your team can confidently leverage AI-generated code with visibility into license or security risk.

Policy Management
Flexible and Customizable Workflows

CLI for Ease of Use
The Command Line Interface (CLI) enables you to audit your software without accessing the original source code, helping ensure the integrity of your software supply chain.

SDLC Integration
Integrate software composition analysis throughout various stages of your SDLC to maximize productivity and minimize surprises found after deployment.
API for Automation
Script a variety of tasks including scanning, gating, report generation and user administration with the JSON-RPC API for even greater productivity.

Secure and Scalable Deployment Options
The flexible architecture of the FossID Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools allows for cloud, hybrid, or on-premise deployment to meet your performance and security requirements.
You can also address strict privacy and confidentiality demands by deploying FossID Workbench and the FossID Knowledge Base in an isolated, air-gapped, environment, ensuring data security and control.
Services to Fast-Track Your Success
FossID Workbench includes comprehensive policy management to help you filter open source code findings and raise non-compliance alerts from unapproved software components or components with security vulnerabilities and incompatible licenses.
You can easily prevent usage of strong/weak copyleft or source-available software licenses in your products and services.
