Re: [partners] [openchain] Certification Services
Marcel, Andrew, thank you for raising this topic. I want to clarify the intent and view of the OpenChain Project regarding Third-Party Certification to our specification. Firstly, OpenChain 2.1 / ISO 5230 is a standard focused on defining the key requirements of a quality open source compliance program. It does this by identifying process inflection points that must be filled by an entity adopting the standard. It follows that the starting point is a program, and a program can be self-certified, independently assessed or third-party certified to exist and have the required process inflection points filled. This is what Andrew referred to as program certification. It has always been the intent of the project, and continues to be, that program certification is valid for all forms of certification related to OpenChain 2.1 / ISO 5230. System certification with or without using another standard such as ISO 17021 - ‘Conformity assessment — Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems‘ is also a valid approach from the perspective of the OpenChain Project. It is a different type of approach, encompassing both the determination of the process content (as per program certification) and an assessment of effectiveness in a “live environment.” In some jurisdictions certifiers may wish or may have a requirement to be accredited in a manner such as the German DAkkS, and thus may use ISO 17021 in that context, but such accreditation is not compulsory with respect to ISO standards. [1] From global feedback so far, we expect companies to choose from a mixture of program certification, system certification and to apply their own preferences to how these are accomplished. This variation will reflect how other standards have been applied around the world. The question of how to choose a certifier is with respect to reliability is therefore market-based. People can elect to choose a certifier that is accredited by a geographic body and/or one that leverages as ISO CASCO standard like ISO 17021 and/or a certifier that is approved by the OpenChain Project. They can elect to have a program certified as per the program requirements of OpenChain 2.1 / ISO 5230, or they can elect to have the requirements of OpenChain 2.1 / ISO 5230 supplemented by additional system requirements such as ISO 17021. Summary: The OpenChain Project endorses and supports both program and system certification. The specific shakeout of what becomes the norm in each industry sector will be driven by the economics and the procurement contracts in each sector. This is be design, to ensure the standard is adopted and leveraged by companies in every geography and every market segment.

Re: Certification Services
Hello all, This is an interesting idea; however, creating different variations of certifications might dilute the credibility of an ISO/IEC 5230 certificate. Also, it would be my understanding that it is not in line with audit and ISO practices and might result in confusion. With ISO/IEC 5230, we have an official ISO framework which specifies the requirements of a quality open source license compliance program – for which a certification body should follow ISO certification requirements, the ISO/IEC 17021 for audit and certification of management systems. ISO 17021 - audit and certification of management systems- defines that such an audit is conducted in two stages; stage 1 being a review of documentation of the management system (I would call it “design effectiveness audit”) and stage 2 to evaluate the implementation, including the effectiveness of the management system (I would call it “operating effectiveness audit”). So within stage 2, an ISO 17021 conformant certification body needs to obtain sufficient evidence of the effectiveness of the management measures, which includes sample testing where applicable. This does not require the management system to be in operation for a long period of time, such as a year, but it must be in operation so that the effectiveness of the measures can be demonstrated through evidence or reperformance of measures. Certifications as such (unlike some other audit reports such as ISAE 3000 or ISAE 3402) are per se related to a point in time, so it does not give an indication of the past or a specific period of time; e.g. it does not say that the management system has been effective for the last 12 months etc., but it gives an indication of the date of certification and, if applicable, for the subsequent period through surveillance audits. According to ISO 17021, there can be no certification of only design effectiveness / stage 1 - operational effectiveness must also be assessed. I assume an accreditation of such a certification procedure by the state authorities (in Germany DAkkS) is not possible. To provide a certificate only on stage 1 would bring a lot of confusion to the market. There is still the self-certification around, customer specific audits, and audit reports e.g. as per ISAE 3000 can be performed. To support companies even further a “certification readiness audit” can be performed before certification. PwC issues ISO/IEC 5230 certificates only on the basis of ISO 17021 compliant audits, including e.g. IAF MD #1, #4, #5, ensuring that anyone holding a PwC certificate can rely on full compliance with ISO 5230 and surrounding ISO certification requirements.

Certification Services
Andrew K
Hi All
There’s been quite a lot of traffic on the list about how audits and certification are going to work, and I’d like to open up how we are approaching this. It’s important that people understand what an OpenChain certification means, and how it can be arrived at. To that end, we’ve spent a lot of time working with an audit specialist with experience in a broad range of fields from process to financial services to quality assurance to come up with our own audit processes and procedures. We’ve come to the conclusion that we need at (at minimum) two levels of certification.
One reason for this is that an organisation may seek third party certification directly after implementing an OpenChain compliance program. There should be a place in the marketplace for such a certification, but, again, such a certification will not be as in-depth as a certification which has tested the operations of the practices and procedures. This second level of certification will necessarily mean that the program has been in operation for a period of time (a year, for example), so that its outputs can be tested against the expectations of the program. Naturally, to receive this certification, the organisation will have to have been operating for sufficient time for the data to be available, so this level of certification cannot be offered immediately after implementation of the program.
In brief, we make a distinction between “Program Certification” and “Systems Certification”.
Program Certification confirms that OpenChain policies, practices and procedures are in place which are compliant. This is similar to verifying that the answers to the self-certification questionnaire are independently verified, and, in addition, confirming that, if operated properly (including build systems etc.) those policies, practices and procedures are capable of producing the required outputs (so in this respect it goes somewhat further than verifying self-certification on its own).
Systems Certification requires Program Certification, but it also requires that the organisation has been operating an OpenChain program for a period of time sufficient for us to certify both that the organisation’s program meets Program Certification standards, and also that those policies, practices and procedures verifiably meet the outcomes required by the OpenChain Specification. The former is, in effect, a readiness and capability certification, and the latter is a more comprehensive certification to audit standards, so it will require sample-testing that compliance artifacts for components are correctly generated, that licence choices have been correctly assigned, that training records have been correctly met, and so on.
Establishing the criteria for Program Certification is fairly straightforward, as it is based very much on the structure and content of the self-certification questionnaire, together with some additional checks to confirm the plausibility of the processes to be employed to implement the program. Systems Certification is somewhat more complex, in that it requires that audit processes are established to check that the expected outputs are in line with the actual outputs. It is not appropriate to do a complete code analysis here, for example (in the same way that a financial auditor undertaking a business’s annual audit will not check to ensure that every expenses receipt submitted to an organisation has been correctly entered into its accounting system), but a structured set of control-based checks will be used to provide the relevant confidence level.
We are putting together an internal specification for how the Systems Certification would work, and we are basing it on existing certification standards (such as Management Systems Certification ISO/IEC 17021 1). Clearly, it is in the interest of OpenChain that the levels of certification to be adopted are agreed on by the OpenChain Project, and, ultimately, we would consider that the certification programs themselves (and their operators) are independently verified by organisations such as UKAS in the UK, and DAkkS in Germany.
We’re very happy to discuss this further.
All the best
Andrew

Re: OpenChain Certification and Business Value
reza.alavi@wipro.com
Hi Jan,
I take your point of corporate change and thank you for highlighting change management as one of the critical issues. In my experience, I’ve seen many enterprises are struggling in their change management challenges while technology is continually changing. During the rise of regulation and linear software development, enterprises tend to demonstrate that they have fully auditable IT controls and regulate release into production systems. Therefore, they adopted a rigorous and sometimes entirely inflexible IT change management process approach. Some of the best practice frameworks, such as ITIL, are considered to create a responsible team (change advisory board) to assess requests for change against risk and their impacts and collision avoidance. The purpose of this is to balance the stability of enterprises and innovation. However, this traditional approach to change management created several challenges, such as increased overhead costs and, more importantly, the frustration for developments and operations teams. So, instead of change management being an enabler, it became a constraint.
The open source software compliance regime may not go smoothly to the RFC (request for change) process in many enterprises and creates a pain point for development, operation, security teams. Thus, open source compliance is seen as unmanageable and detriment to business.
I think it is time for some changes in the change management approach!
Warm regards, Reza

Hello Aitken,
thank you for pointing this out. I can underline this experience as well. My suspicion is, that project ownership and traditional corporate structures are root causes of this.
We try to organize projects from the beginning as corporate change projects. This does not make it easier to sell, but it sets the right expectations at sponsor level. When starting a project initiated in corporate legal, you may succeed in IT / Dev but might fail in corporate purchase or later in HR, when it comes to adjusting developer contracts concerning contributions…
Thus I would suggest to frame it from the beginning as a corporate change.
Best regards Jan

Thanks Mary. An important point.
Many companies have existing and effective measures in place to address open source compliance. OpenChain does not invalidate or forcibly replace these measures, but it does provide a unified method for approaching the problem space moving forward.
Because OpenChain is particularly useful in the context of supply chain management - both base compliance and in ensuring harmonized process approaches - it offers the potential offer greater effectiveness and efficiency than bespoke approaches. This is a key driver to our observed engagement and growth.
The bias in expressing business values tends to be towards reduced resource cost (less time on bespoke approaches and governance) with increased speed (faster problem analysis and remediation).
I do aim to have case studies unfolding over this year providing metrics, though in the specific content the % gained for ISO 5230 is still being unpacked due to the newness to market.
We will have a mini-summit shortly. Perhaps we can take an hour for existing conformant companies to talk about their derived business value?

Shane

https://www.openchainproject.org/featured/2021/02/25/openchain-global-work-team-meeting-2020-02-22 We are doing a lot of editing. Here is what we are working on: • We want to close the comments on this Word document to create our new free online training course on edX. We currently have a lot of suggestions around parts 1~4 and need suggestions around parts 5~8. Please review and add notes to help us make this happen for late March delivery! https://1drv.ms/w/s!AsXJVqby5kpnkRE0rsGzo5lduvaq?e=t0aEs5 • We want to improve our one-slide overview for the purpose of putting it into our supplier “Introduction to OpenChain” slide deck: https://1drv.ms/p/s!AsXJVqby5kpnkRmAupkc3JkJP7ni • We want to review the supplier “Introduction to OpenChain” slide deck to consider refinements to language to make it super clear and simple for organizations completely new to OpenChain: https://1drv.ms/p/s!AsXJVqby5kpnkRUxneDgBQMWIUmx • Finally, we want to update two specific areas of our general project overview slides. The first, slide 22, is about explaining the place of OpenChain in the eco-system. What is the best way to visualize this? The second is to review the project summary language on slide 26 to consider if it fits your mental model of how we should be summarized: https://1drv.ms/p/s!AsXJVqby5kpnkRbTu0pv0Jgb0aAQ If we get all this together we will have the perfect package to hand to suppliers and other interested parties to onboard them into our ecosystem.
