Critical Risk Factors That Can Derail Your Deal

Without an audit and plan to address open source issues, financial events can be delayed or devalued. FOSSA helps you identify and mitigate these critical risks:

IP Risk

Non-compliant licenses can lead to copyright infringement claims, forcing code rewrites or expensive settlements that impact valuation.

Indemnification Risk

Customer agreements often require indemnification against IP claims, creating significant financial exposure during due diligence.

Security Risk

Vulnerable open source components can expose your organization to data breaches and compliance violations that threaten deals.

Due Diligence That Adds Value

FOSSA delivers audit-grade due diligence that not only satisfies stakeholder requirements but creates ongoing compliance processes that increase the value of your organization.
