OPEN SOURCE SECURITY APPROVAL
Open Source Security Assurance Approval
ACS Canada provides Open Source Security Assurance Approval services for organizations seeking independent assessment of open-source software security management practices, software supply chain controls, vulnerability management processes, component governance activities, risk management practices, security monitoring controls, development procedures, and supporting documentation associated with the use of open-source software.
Open Source Security Assurance Approval helps organizations demonstrate effective management of security risks associated with open-source software components, libraries, frameworks, and dependencies used within software products and information technology environments. The assessment may include review of open-source software governance practices, software bill of materials (SBOM) management, vulnerability identification processes, dependency management controls, software supply chain security measures, remediation activities, security monitoring practices, and supporting documentation. ACS Canada can provide an independent Open Source Security Assurance Approval based on applicable principles and guidance from ISO 18974 OpenChain Security Assurance Specification.
ACS Canada recommends combining Open Source Security Assurance Approval with ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management System Certification, Software Quality Assurance Approval, and IT Security Assurance Approval to strengthen software security, cybersecurity governance, secure software development practices, risk management activities, regulatory readiness, and customer confidence.
