Arlington, Virginia Feb 10, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - BINARC is pleased to announce its new open-source software (OSS) compliance program that dovetails with Microsoft’s recent move to ensure conformity with OpenChain 2.1(ISO/IEC 5230) – the International Standard for open-source license compliance.
The OSS component of BINARC’s IT audit can protect organizations of all shapes and sizes from an array of often neglected—but potentially devastating—legal and regulatory risks.
The move represents an expansion of BINARC’s broader partnership with Zenius Corp. that produced a new methodology for Client-Initiated Audits – i.e. comprehensive, integrated IT and financial audits. Heading the new OSS program for BINARC is Julian Coccia, a globally recognized authority on all things OSS.
“Companies are increasingly turning to open-source software for free, stable add-ons to their proprietary code,” explained Danny Harris, Ph.D., Senior Strategic Advisor to BINARC and former U.S. Department of Education CIO. “However, far too many do not understand or comply with the open-source licenses that contain use and security requirements. Others are unaware that any such requirements even exist.”
“In effect, the audit resolves compliance and security issues before they even surface,” added Coccia. “This frees our clients to focus on their business and mission.”
