About FOSSA

FOSSA provides software to automate and accelerate license compliance, security, and SBOM management for third-party code. It identifies dependencies, vulnerabilities, and license issues across the software development lifecycle. FOSSA automatically scans and analyzes codebases to identify open source dependencies and provides tools to ensure compliance and security. The company has operated since 2015.

Products

  • Policy: Sets enterprise-wide standards through a policy engine for license, security and quality standards.
  • Fix: Provides automated suggestions and fix plans to remediate dependency issues.
  • Report: Generates attribution reports and vulnerability documentation automatically.

Used for

  • Unifying vulnerability scanning across the software development lifecycle
  • Generating and managing SBOMs for regulatory compliance
  • Managing outdated dependencies and maintaining them proactively
  • Producing SBOMs and license attribution notices

Who it is for

  • Organizations needing custom deployment and enterprise features.
  • Engineering teams.

How to evaluate Cloud Security & CSPM

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of FOSSA. It comes from our Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) buyer guide.

25%
Risk Prioritization & Attack-Path Analysis
Context graph that correlates misconfiguration, internet reachability, identity/permissions, vulnerabilities, secrets, and data sensitivity into ranked attack paths to crown-jewel assets; toxic-combination detection; quality of the “fix these 10” output versus raw finding volume; false-positive rate in your own accounts
20%
Coverage Model: Agentless Breadth vs. Runtime Depth
Agentless snapshot/API scanning for fast 100%-estate visibility versus agent/eBPF runtime for in-production threat detection (CDR); container, serverless, and Kubernetes (KSPM) coverage; how the two models combine without double-counting; performance impact and deployment friction
20%
Multi-Cloud & Platform Consolidation (CNAPP)
Depth and parity across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and Kubernetes from one console; how many of CSPM, CIEM, CWPP, DSPM, KSPM, and code/IaC security are genuinely unified on one data model versus bolted-on acquisitions; single policy and one risk score across domains
15%
Identity & Entitlements (CIEM)
Effective-permission analysis across human and machine identities, cross-account and federated role mapping, detection of unused and over-privileged entitlements, least-privilege right-sizing recommendations, and privilege escalation / lateral-movement path discovery
10%
Remediation, Automation & Developer Workflow
Guided and auto-remediation, IaC and pull-request fixes (shift-left to code), guardrails that prevent drift, ticketing/SOAR integration, ownership routing to the right team, and API/Terraform coverage for security-as-code
10%
Compliance, Reporting & SOC Integration
Out-of-the-box frameworks (CIS, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP, NIST) with custom policy authoring, audit-ready evidence and drift history, RBAC/SSO on the console, and clean export of correlated cloud risk into the SIEM/SOC rather than a siloed dashboard
