Samsung SDS has adopted OpenChain ISO/IEC 18974, the international standard for open source security assurance. This builds on their previous adoption of OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230 in July 2022.
The adoption of ISO/IEC 18974 by Samsung SDS was supported by resources provided by the Linux Foundation’s OpenChain Project, founded in 2016, which maintains self-certification checklists and other materials to help global companies develop enhanced open source management processes.
“We are delighted to continue our relationship with the Samsung SDS team around the adoption and use of OpenChain standards for open source process management,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “The Samsung SDS team have long been involved with the OpenChain Korea Work Group, and provide an excellent example of how a company can have a measured, effective approach to community engagement, best practice adoption, and excellence in customer support.”
