Simplify Ofcom
compliance
BugZero automates, simplifies, and reduces the cost of meeting Ofcom requirements by tracking and linking vendor flaws directly to your firm's critical services and impact tolerances
What does
Ofcom require?
Ofcom rules require operators to identify and continuously monitor third-party software dependencies, proactively mitigate risks, maintain documentation, and oversee supplier performance.
Where do today's
solutions fall short?
Most of today's tools focus only on CVEs while operational bugs from third-party vendors go untracked and unaddressed, leaving organizations unnecessarily exposed.
What is the impact
of non-compliance?
Organizations are accountable for all operational incidents — even when caused by vendors. Failure to demonstrate proactive risk management can trigger fines and lasting reputational damage.
