verinice – the first generation
In use since 2007, developed as an open-source alternative to the BSI’s ISMS tool GSTOOL: verinice has established itself in government agencies and companies across Europe over nearly two decades. Open source, under AGPLv3, with no licensing restrictions. Sales will end on December 31, 2026, after nearly 20 years. The expertise and experience gained during this time have been fully incorporated into the new generation of verinice .
Existing customers will have access to support and the current verinice.SHOP
For new projects and long-term planning, we recommend the SaaS offering hosted by SerNet verinice.cloud or verinice.onprem for self-managed operation.

United in security
One of verinice’s strengths lies in the vibrant and engaged community that has formed around the project. This community consists of users, developers, and security experts. Through regular exchanges, the verinice team receives valuable feedback, innovative ideas, and practical solutions – a process fostered by the annual verinice.XP conference, regular workshops, a community platform, and an active partner network. This close collaboration ensures that verinice is a solution by practitioners, for practitioners.
This structure remains in place and supports the new generation of verinice just as it did before: Certified verinice partners provide technical consulting – for both verinice.cloud and verinice.onprem. Our trained experts also assist with the transition to the new generation.
