Open Source drives Innovation and Sovereignty

Developing verinice at SerNet since 2006 has been guided by the principles of sovereignty through openness and transparency. The code developed by SerNet itself is published under the open source licence A-GPL and made available for free download on GitHub.

The libraries, frameworks, APIs and third-party tools used by verinice are continuously documented in the software and in the release notes. The documentation of the technical team at GitHub provides evidence of the licences used in verinice.

The verinice team is happy to exchange ideas about code and licences! Please use the verinice forum or mail the developers.

NIS 2, ISO 27001 & C5

SerNet offers the use of verinice as a cloud service. In doing so, we follow the guidelines of the European NIS-2 directive for ‘network and information security’. SerNet operates cybersecurity management for its own infrastructure and products in accordance with the requirements of ISO 27001

Hosting under the conditions of the C5 catalogue (C5 – Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalogue) is in preparation for mid-2025.

CRA & SBOM

We follow the requirements of the European CRA (Cyber Resilience Act) for the provision of software for operation on premise at customers' own data centres or at the hoster of their choice. 

SerNet continuously provides SBOM for verinice – the Software Bill of Materials. This is how we document the supply chain and the ‘software lifecycle’ according to the state of the art.

Wherever possible, development is based on the guidelines of the Barrier-free Information Technology Ordinance BITV 2.0 and the international Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1 and the level AAA success criteria.
