What Source Code Control does

Source Code Control is a private UK IT consultancy founded in 2014 and headquartered in Reading, operating with 11–50 employees. The firm delivers specialist advisory across four practice areas: Software Supply Chain (open source security, licensing compliance, OpenChain/ISO 5230 conformance, software composition analysis, SBOM, OSPO establishment, technical due diligence), Cloud Spend Management (Azure and M365 FinOps, MACC management, Copilot readiness, business value & sustainability assessments), Digital Transformation (application modernisation, Azure Virtual Desktop, accessibility compliance), and Cyber Security (cloud and on-premises assessments, framework benchmarking, breach impact analysis).

The company's core technology is its consulting expertise rather than a proprietary platform; however, it has begun productizing with MyBetter.cloud, a cloud cost monitoring and optimisation tool launched in March 2026. Source Code Control leverages third-party vendors (Revenera, mend.io, block64, OpenChain, Surveil, QS Solutions, WeTransact, UserWay) to deliver technical assessments and benefits from a core-tier partnership with OpenChain that anchors its software supply chain practice.

Revenue is generated through bespoke consultancy engagements structured as project or retainer work, with pricing quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, combining direct website engagement with partner-driven referrals and a content engine built around the Source Code Conversations podcast and a topical blog. The target buyer profile is enterprises — primarily software-intensive organisations and cloud-focused Microsoft customers — with a horizontal segmentation strategy spanning use cases rather than verticals.
