External Blog: ISO 5230 OpenChain: How Will the Standard be Used?

By Shane Coughlan News

“Open source software license compliance must not be overlooked. Following the trends in the use of ISO/IEC 5230:2020, it is fair to predict more companies and industries will demand conformance as well as integrate the standard into their supply chain work practices. Cybersecurity breaches are a serious threat to all types of businesses. In the last twelve months four in ten businesses report having cybersecurity breaches or attacks in the UK. Although ISO/IEC 5230:2020 does not contain an express provision regarding cybersecurity, conformance to the standard makes the tracking of security vulnerabilities much easier. Adherence to the ISO standard now, puts your organisation ahead of the curve and places you ahead of non-conformant competitors.”
