About FossID
What’s In Your Software?
We deliver advanced Software Composition Analysis technology that reveals every component, license, and vulnerability within complex codebases – enabling enterprises to protect intellectual property, ensure compliance, and uphold software supply chain integrity without impeding development.
Build software you can trust by combining advanced Software Composition Analysis (SCA) technology with expert software audit services. Unlike traditional SCA tools, our technology detects even the smallest code snippets – down to six lines – with unmatched precision and resilience to code modifications. Using a digital fingerprinting methodology, FossID preserves complete source code confidentiality while drawing from one of the industry’s most comprehensive knowledge bases to deliver deeper insights and fewer false positives. Designed with both developers and business users in mind, FossID integrates into existing workflows – enabling teams across engineering, legal, and compliance to embed software supply chain integrity into every stage of software delivery.
Built For Auditors By Auditors
As open source software auditors themselves, our founders believed there had to be a better way to manage not just security vulnerability risk, but license compliance risk, associated with the pervasive use of open source software in proprietary software development. FossID is that better way. Founded in 2016 as a Software Composition Analysis toolset focused on detecting all forms of OSS – declared and undeclared, complete package or snippet, direct or transitive dependency – FossID also developed the largest OSS Knowledge Base to automate identification and classification of components, and pioneered the concept of a “blind scan” to streamline the technical due diligence process in M&A transactions.
Our focus on improving open source license compliance for auditors led to being acquired by Snyk in 2021. Shortly after, however, in 2022, our founders reacquired the company to reignite our dedication to solving these challenges that continue to grow with complex software supply chains and the adoption of generative-AI coding assistants.
Today, FossID is trusted by many Fortune 500 organizations across verticals like automotive, financial services, manufacturing, technology and telecommunications, and has a strong reputation with developers using C/C++.
Our mission is to help software teams focus on innovation, quality and time-to-market by integrating Software Composition Analysis into their software development lifecycle (SDLC), generating complete and reliable Software Bills of Material (SBOMs), and provide audit services
