Strengthening trust in open source software

openCode sets high standards for quality and security. The badge program with BadgeReport makes the maintenance, reusability, and security of open source projects visible. In addition, SBOMDownload provides software component lists in all repositories. With DevGuard, software security is anchored directly in everyday development, thus strengthening protection against attacks on the supply chain. This way, we ensure transparency, orientation, and trust in both selection and usage.Read more
