Software supply chain security

Secure your open source dependencies before they become liabilities

Q: What does security testing involve?

Security testing identifies vulnerabilities before attackers do. It includes penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, code review (SAST), runtime testing (DAST), and security configuration audits. The goal is to find weaknesses in authentication, authorization, data handling, and infrastructure before they become breaches.

Q: How often should security testing be performed?

Security testing should be continuous, not annual. Run SAST on every commit, DAST weekly, and penetration tests quarterly or before major releases. The average breach takes 277 days to detect - regular testing dramatically reduces this window.

Q: What security testing services does BetterQA offer?

BetterQA provides comprehensive security testing using our AI Security Toolkit - 30+ open-source tools across 8 security pillars coordinated by AI. We cover OWASP Top 10, secrets detection, infrastructure scanning, and compliance requirements including SOC2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.

84% of codebases contain known vulnerabilities in their open source components. We identify, assess, and mitigate these risks before they become breaches.

The risk landscape

Your dependencies are attack vectors

Modern applications average 500+ dependencies. Each one is a potential entry point for attackers, license violations, or operational failures.

Why it matters

Open source risk is business risk

Prevent security breaches

Open source vulnerabilities are responsible for countless breaches. Proactive scanning identifies and patches vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.

Ensure business continuity

Abandoned projects and unmaintained dependencies can cripple your software. We monitor project health and provide migration strategies before critical components become liabilities.

Meet compliance requirements

Regulatory frameworks increasingly require software supply chain security. Our risk management ensures you meet SOC2, ISO 27001, and industry-specific compliance requirements.

Take control of your open source risks

Before they control you. Get a comprehensive risk assessment of your software supply chain.
