Kodepo evaluates application software — open‑source, internal, or third‑party — against five trust criteria and produces a structured report your security team can act on.
Vendor software gets a SOC 2 review — but that evaluates the organization, not the application. Open-source software gets a dependency scan — but that checks libraries, not security design. Internal software gets a manual review — weeks later, covering fragments, producing a ticket.
All three end up in the same environment, handling the same data. The trust evaluation should be a property of the application, not where it came from.
The trust criteria are constant. The evidence sources change. The report structure stays the same.
Submit a repository. Get a trust report covering security design, data handling, operational readiness, and project health — before you put it in your environment.
Apply the same trust criteria to your own applications. Replace inconsistent manual reviews with a structured evaluation that functions as a promotion gate before every release.
Require vendors to obtain a Kodepo Trust Report as part of procurement due diligence. An independent evaluation of the actual software — not a self-assessment questionnaire.
Adapted from how enterprises already evaluate vendor risk — and applied directly to application codebases.
Authentication design, authorization models, input validation, API hardening, secrets management, secure defaults, and known vulnerabilities — evaluated as a cohesive system.
Data exposure through APIs, logging hygiene, encryption posture, tenant isolation, and secrets in configuration. How the application guards what it stores and transmits.
Failure handling, resource management, graceful degradation, health endpoints, deployment maturity, and horizontal scaling readiness.
Boundary validation, transaction safety, audit trails, idempotency, retry safety, and event delivery reliability.
Data minimization, consent mechanisms, PII handling, retention policies, third-party data sharing defaults, and regulatory alignment signals.
Structured, comparable, and designed to be attached to adoption approvals, release gates, and vendor evaluations.
Today's vendor evaluation is process-based. A SOC 2 report confirms the vendor's organization follows controls. It says nothing about whether the application itself handles data safely, hardens its APIs, or degrades gracefully under failure.
Kodepo fills the gap between "the vendor has good processes" and "the vendor's actual software is trustworthy." Require an attested Trust Report as part of procurement — or vendors can commission one proactively to win deals faster.
As part of procurement due diligence, alongside the SOC 2 and pen test
Independent evaluation against all five trust criteria — not a self-assessment
Buyer reviews the same structured format used for internal and open-source evaluations
One trust framework for every application — vendor, internal, or open-source
Compare trust posture across your entire software landscape — regardless of where the application came from.
Evaluate an open-source application's security design, data handling, and operational readiness before it enters your environment.
Hold your own applications to the same trust criteria. Use the report as a promotion gate — a structured checkpoint before every production release.
Require an attested Trust Report as part of vendor due diligence. Evaluate the actual software — alongside the SOC 2 that evaluates the organization.
Whether you're adopting open-source, shipping internal software, or evaluating a vendor — the question is the same. Kodepo gives you a structured answer.
