OSS code’s openness allows attackers to identify security flaws more easily. While communities work on fixes, patches aren’t always immediate, creating exposure risks. Malicious Code Injection is a threat, as contributors with ill intent can add harmful code if peer reviews are weak. Dependency Risks also arise, as OSS often relies on other libraries, which may carry hidden vulnerabilities, increasing security threats.
OSS licenses (e.g., GPL, MIT, Apache) have specific terms that can lead to Compatibility Issues when mixed, potentially causing unintentional violations. Copyleft Obligations under certain licenses, like GPL, require shared modifications, risking exposure of proprietary innovations. Additionally, OSS often lacks Indemnity and Liability protection, leaving organizations solely responsible for legal or operational issues.
At EPTeck, we deliver advanced Open Source Analysis services using both open-source and commercial tools. Our expertise ensures that your OSS components are secure, up-to-date, and compliant with licensing requirements. With deep expertise across widely-used analysis tools, our provided solution will analyze, assess, and manage open source software dependencies, licenses, security vulnerabilities, and compliance.
EPTeck’s License Compliance Checking service ensures that OSS components align with project licensing policies by analyzing open source package licenses and detecting conflicts, such as copyleft licenses in proprietary software.
Our dependency management solution monitors open source libraries and dependencies in a project, automatically tracking them and alerting developers to new versions or security updates.
Our Security Vulnerability Analysis service identifies potential risks and vulnerabilities (like CVEs) in open source components by checking against databases like the National Vulnerability Database (NVD).
Our Code Quality and Maintenance service evaluates the quality, health, and sustainability of integrated open source code through metrics like maintainability, repository activity levels, and project lifecycle analysis, including factors such as complexity and test coverage.
At EPTeck, we leverage leading OSS analysis tools to ensure the security, compliance, and quality of your open source software components. Our solutions integrate seamlessly into your development workflow, helping you identify vulnerabilities, manage licenses, and maintain the health of your dependencies.
Delivers in-depth analysis of open-source licenses and security risks, with robust integration into CI/CD workflows, including SBOM management and automated policy enforcement across various programming languages.
Dependency-Track is a platform for identifying and reducing software supply chain risks, offering advanced capabilities like vulnerability detection, policy evaluation, and BOM management through SBOM.
FOSSA provides tools for license compliance, security, and open-source governance, automating compliance processes and integrating with CI tools and Git repositories.
FOSSology is a open source license compliance software system and toolkit. As a toolkit you can run license, copyright and export control scans from the command line. As a system, a database and web UI are provided to give you a compliance workflow. License, copyright and export scanners are tools available to help with your compliance activities.
Dependency-Check is a Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tool that attempts to detect publicly disclosed vulnerabilities contained within a project’s dependencies. It does this by determining if there is a Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) identifier for a given dependency. If found, it will generate a report linking to the associated CVEs.
Our team is equipped to provide comprehensive Open Source Software Analysis Services tailored to your specific project requirements. Whether you’re managing license compliance, security vulnerabilities, or dependency chain, we deliver solutions that enable effective oversight of open-source components in your projects. We customize our analysis services to align with your unique needs, ensuring compatibility with your software stack, continuous integration, and overall project goals. By tailoring our approach, our team help you achieve optimal software quality while reducing risks and development complexity
We commissoned epteck to support our inhouse custom STM32MP1 based hardware. They were mostly working on the YOCTO BSP layers, including building secure boot support, YOCTO release upgrades, device tree work. Khalil and his team have always been professional, responsive and knowledgable. I’ve been impressed with the depth of their understanding of YOCTO and BSPs. The conversations were always solution oriented and we achieved our goals in time. I hope to continue to collaborate with them and can only recommend them to other customers.
Epteck GmbH provided exceptional service throughout the project. Their team successfully implemented WiFi connectivity and managed the firmware updates for two hardware devices. Additionally, they stabilized the operating system, ensuring seamless performance over the duration of the year-long project. The collaboration was smooth, and the technical expertise of Epteck GmbH was evident in the quality and reliability of the solutions delivered.
Epteck assisted with gathering of the requirements for the new hardware platform. And consulted on different solution strategies. Assisted in determining the technology gaps in the current team to support the development of the new IDE product. And they worked on the setup of the build system and supporting infra structure such as firmware update and management etc. for the new product. Kahlil Rashid provided with his team a very professional and in-depth support for our project. He brought a lot of relevant knowledge into the project that we were missing. His team was able to challenge our hardware supplier and support the development of the software frame work for this new hardware platform.
At Odie, we highly value Epteck GmbH’s cybersecurity work. Their Secure Boot implementation in our IoT sleeptrainer has given us peace of mind, ensuring protection from unauthorized access and safeguarding sensitive data. With the upcoming EU GPSR compliance deadline, Epteck helped us meet strict standards while building trust with parents. They also supported CE certification and developed the entire IoT product—hardware, firmware, backend, and mobile app. Highly recommended for companies focused on cybersecurity and compliance
