Dear Applications team,

I hope you are well.

Regarding: OpenStudio

As part of our internal compliance and security efforts aligned with Cyber Essentials, we are reviewing how we manage application updates across our environment. To support with this, we would like to understand the version release process for your application. Could you please confirm the following:

1.) Do you offer an automated notification system (e.g email alerts, RSS feed, API) to inform customers when a new version or security patch of the application is released? 2.) If not, what is the recommended method for staying up to date with new releases or updates (e.g dedicated webpage, newsletter, customer portal)?

We currently do not have automated update detection mechanism in place on our side, so it’s essential for us to have a clear and reliable process for tracking updates from vendors to maintain security compliance.

If this is something you have in place, is it possible to send us an email each time an update is available please to: ISS-ESO-Alerts@westminster.ac.uk

We appreciate your support in helping us meet our Cyber Essentials obligations.

Kind Regards

Mo

@Yunasm This is a Q&A forum for using software, so this question isn't the best fit here. I would recommend reviewing the webpage for the OpenStudio Coalition -- the entity that oversees the OpenStudio Application -- and contact them.

If the Software Development Kit (SDK) is also part of the toolset you use, then please review its webpage.
