A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a machine-readable inventory of every component in your software, including open-source libraries and their dependencies. An open-source SBOM audit builds or verifies that inventory, checks each component's licence (MIT, Apache 2.0, GPL, LGPL, AGPL and others) against how you distribute the product, and maps components to known vulnerabilities. Enterprise buyers, regulated sectors and acquirers increasingly ask for an SBOM as part of security and legal review.
DPIIT-recognised startups in India face a unique compliance journey — from early-stage investor due diligence requiring SOC 2 or ISO 27001, to enterprise customer procurement mandates and Series A / B investor security expectations. Our startup-focused consultants deliver affordable, fast-tracked ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 42001, SOC 2 and DPDP Act compliance programs for startups across India.

Our Open-Source SBOM Audit process
01. Scope & Code Discovery
We agree which products, repositories and build artefacts are in scope, then scan source and packages to discover direct and transitive dependencies.
02. SBOM Generation & Verification
We produce or validate the SBOM in SPDX or CycloneDX format, covering component names, versions, suppliers and relationships, and cross-check it against what actually ships.
03. Licence & Vulnerability Analysis
Each component is matched to its licence and checked against your distribution model, then mapped to known vulnerabilities so the risky items are prioritised.
04. Report, Remediation & Policy
We deliver a report with conflicts, required attributions and upgrade or replacement options, plus an open-source policy and guidance for automating the SBOM in CI/CD.
Frequently asked questions
Why do startups & dpiit-recognised companies need Open-Source SBOM Audit?
Enterprise procurement teams require ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification before onboarding SaaS or tech startups as vendors. Open-Source SBOM Audit gives customers, regulators and auditors independent proof that your controls work.
How long does Open-Source SBOM Audit take for a startups & dpiit-recognised company?
It depends on size, scope and how mature your processes are. After a short gap assessment we set a fixed plan, then work through implementation, internal audit and the certification audit.
Can a startup with 10 employees get ISO 27001 certified?
Absolutely. ISO 27001 is applicable to organizations of any size. We have helped multiple startups with 5–20 employees achieve ISO 27001 certification in 3–4 months. The scope is proportionate to the organization — a lean startup requires a lean ISMS, not an enterprise-scale one.
What is the cost of ISO 27001 certification for a DPIIT startup?
For a small startup, total costs (consultancy + certification body) typically range from ₹1.5–3.5 lakh. We offer startup packages with phased payments and lean documentation frameworks that significantly reduce implementation effort for small teams.
What is an SBOM audit?
An SBOM audit builds or verifies the Software Bill of Materials for your product, then checks the open-source components in it for licence compliance and known vulnerabilities.
Which SBOM formats do you work with?
We work with SPDX and CycloneDX, the two widely used machine-readable formats, and align the content with the commonly cited minimum SBOM data elements.
