Know the Provenance of your Code


Knowing the origin of your code is an increasingly essential aspect in today's software landscape. With SCANOSS, an Open Source and language-agnostic engine and knowledgebase, you have the flexibility to meet this requirement head-on. Whether you're dealing with Java, Python, C, C++, or any other programming language, our engine and knowledgebase will provide complete visibility in to the provenance of your code.
SCANOSS, by seamlessly integrating with both Open Source and proprietary Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools, has become a de-facto standard. Its extensive acceptance provides organizations a consistent perspective to evaluate Open Source elements, guaranteeing they maintain the same visibility as the wider Open Source community.
SCANOSS doesn't just generate Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs); it takes existing ones and enhances them. If you've already got an SBOM, SCANOSS can decorate it with additional insights, ensuring a holistic and in-depth understanding of your software components. This dual functionality offers unparalleled flexibility in understanding and documenting your software's composition, streamlining compliance and security processes.
In the intricate world of code provenance, transparency is non-negotiable. SCANOSS operates with complete openness, providing you all the details of our algorithms and data operations. We believe in earning your trust through transparency, ensuring you can make informed and confident decisions.
Code provenance is a multifaceted challenge that transcends programming languages. SCANOSS offers meticulous identification capabilities that are language-agnostic, effectively tracking:
- Code origins
- Authorship
- License changes
- Origin of Open Source in AI-generated code
SCANOSS is designed for seamless integration with your existing workflows and tools. With our API, CLI, SDKs, IDE integrations, webhooks, and pipeline capabilities, incorporating code provenance management into your multi-language software lifecycle becomes a streamlined process.
