Where others stop, we start
You probably already have tools in use: scanners that examine your dependencies, perhaps a support contract for individual projects. That is a good first step.
But ask yourself: who fixes the vulnerabilities found? Who takes care of the 750 projects in your SBOM for which no support contract exists? Who acts when a critical project is abandoned?
OTTRIA is the answer to these questions.
The problem with existing solutions #
SCA tools show problems — they do not solve them #
SCA scanners are an important layer: they make registered vulnerabilities visible. But a CVE alert is not a fix. You learn that a problem exists — and then you are on your own. Who coordinates the patch? Who backports it? Who documents it for the auditor?
Catalogue providers help with selected projects #
Extended lifecycle support providers cover a fixed catalogue of popular end products — such as end-of-life frameworks or old distributions. That helps if your critical dependency happens to be in the catalogue. But even then, these providers only support the end product, not its own dependencies. The hundreds of libraries a framework internally depends on remain uncovered.
Enterprise support serves popular stacks #
Commercial support is available for mainstream technologies. But open source supply chains do not consist only of the ten best-known projects. They consist of hundreds of dependencies in dozens of languages — most of which have no commercial offering.
Scanners are Layer 1. OTTRIA is Layer 2 and 3. #
Layer 1 is visibility: identifying what is in your stack. Good tools exist for that.
Layer 2 is intervention: fixing vulnerabilities, creating patches, performing upstream work — including for projects nobody else touches.
Layer 3 is governance: audit-ready documentation, risk assessment, compliance evidence, early warnings.
OTTRIA covers Layer 2 and 3. Complementary to what you already have.
OTTRIA is a new category #
Between SCA tool, support contract, and OSS governance, there was nothing until now. No solution that covers your entire SBOM, actively intervenes in the code, and simultaneously delivers audit-ready evidence.
OTTRIA fills this gap — not as a replacement for existing tools but as a necessary complement.
What sets us apart #
No catalogue — your entire SBOM #
OTTRIA does not work from a fixed project catalogue. We monitor and maintain all components in your SBOM, regardless of language, popularity, or maintainer structure.
Not just report — but fix #
We create and coordinate patches. Including in projects whose maintainers no longer respond. Including in projects considered abandoned.
Time advantage through steward involvement #
As an Open Source Steward under the Cyber Resilience Act, OTTRIA is embedded in the security processes of projects. This means: early warnings up to 28 to 90 days before the public CVE disclosure.
Silent fix detection #
For every registered vulnerability, there are four to eleven silently fixed security issues that never receive a CVE number (silent fixes). No scanner finds them. OTTRIA detects them through active code analysis and project participation.
Protection against invisible risks #
Bugs that threaten business operations but do not appear in any vulnerability database. Abandoned projects. Deletions. Licence changes. For all of these, there is no automated solution — only systematic work in the ecosystem.
Grant advisory for cost reduction #
OTTRIA supports you in identifying and applying for relevant grants that can partially refinance your investment in open source governance.
Transparency as a principle #
Everything OTTRIA does is open source: patches, reviews, issues, SBOMs. You can trace every measure. So can your auditor.
Digital sovereignty #
OTTRIA is a European provider that does not just scan but works in the code. No dependency on US tool vendors. Operational capability rather than passive consumption of third-party platforms. When upstream fails, we can act — not just report.
Our goal: EUR 0 in fines #
No company working with OTTRIA should ever have to pay a fine because of its open source components. That is not a slogan — it is the standard by which we measure ourselves. Concretely, this means: we monitor every component in your SBOM, actively fix vulnerabilities, and deliver the audit-ready documentation that proves you met your duty of care. If an audit nevertheless raises questions, you have complete remediation protocols, risk assessments, and decision templates at your disposal — precisely the evidence that makes the difference between "demonstrably acted" and "did nothing".
