Double Open Compliance
Double Open Compliance automates software security and license compliance with deterministic filters and framework-anchored AI agents. It addresses legal due diligence for the EU Cyber Resilience Act, NIS2, and DORA. ORT Analyzer captures transitive dependencies according to how software is built, while Double Open Server provides global file-level caching that the site says enables 10x faster scanning. The platform produces machine-readable SBOMs in CycloneDX and SPDX formats and manages GitHub, GitLab, and air-gapped projects. AI agents surface ambiguous exceptions for human verification or version-controlled pull requests. Vulnerability triage ranks CVEs by code reachability and package roles and proposes evidence-backed resolutions. Deployment can be SaaS or customer-hosted, with data in EU-controlled datacenters or on customer infrastructure. The ORT stack includes a web UI, dashboards, REST API, and identity management.
