LOGIQ Launches Unique Runtime Governance Assessment for Enterprises

LOGIQ Corporation, headquartered in Naha, Okinawa, with CEO Tomohito Kihata, is set to launch its innovative service, the Runtime Governance Assessment, on December 1, 2025. This service aims to unveil the hidden complexities of runtime execution within enterprise systems through precise discovery and consistency evaluation methods. The service is designed for CIOs, CISO, IT governance heads, security, and legal departments, addressing a persistent black box in the execution structure and distribution realities surrounding foundational runtime.

Background: A Blind Spot in IT Governance

The runtime environments in enterprise IT have become a particularly challenging area for visual management due to several structural factors:

- Diverse Heterogeneous Environments: The landscape stretches across operating systems like Windows, Linux, AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris.
- Siloed Execution Paths: Executable paths are scattered across desktops, servers, virtual environments, and middleware layers, causing a lack of centralized monitoring.
- Silent Bundling: Applications, middleware, and OEM products often come bundled silently, complicating visibility.
- Legacy Version Traces: Long-used older versions leave behind elusive traces that are hard to identify.
- Parallel Systems: Historically, multiple versions of OSS, commercial, and OEM distribution exist simultaneously.
- Evolving License Requirements: License terms have changed over time, further complicating compliance.

Due to these factors, enterprises often find themselves in a situation where determining the origin of a runtime, its licensing validity, or its compliance status becomes a daunting task, blending compliance, cybersecurity, governance, and legal risks into an uncharted territory.

LOGIQ's Runtime Governance Assessment

The Runtime Governance Assessment offers a unique framework that integrates technology, legal, and governance aspects to create a clear picture of foundational runtime. This framework includes:

1. Directory-Level Runtime Discovery

Rather than relying simply on path enumeration or binary name detection, LOGIQ’s discovery focuses on parsing the internal structures, archive configurations, manifests, and publisher signature information of runtime. It enables categorization of:

- Standalone installations
- Product bundles (OEM / ISV redistributions)
- Middleware integrations
- Silent installations
- Residual objects

This approach effectively mitigates platform discrepancies, accurately revealing the complexities of enterprise environments, including path dismantling or intermediate bundling features.

2. Multi-Decade Version Lineage Analysis

The runtime environment has a dense history that includes versions ranging from 5/6/7/8 to current LTS/STS releases. LOGIQ’s technology clarifies:

- The variances between OSS and commercial builds within the same version
- Vendor-specific Build Identifiers and Manifest attributes
- Distribution pathways and license equivalence of OEM and ISV versions
- Re-evaluation of structures where older version traces are absent

3. Technical-Legal Mapping for Compliance

The detected runtimes require an integration of technical features and legal assessments. LOGIQ’s service measures:

- Origin: Where the runtime came from
- Distribution Lineage: The route the software took to get to its current state
- License Model: The applicable terms and agreements
- Compliance Risk: Potential violations
- Exposure Scope: The extent of impact

Final reports encapsulating these dimensions ensure that both legal and security concerns are adequately addressed.

4. Runtime Risk Scoring

LOGIQ calculates a Runtime Risk Level (High/Medium/Low) based on various criteria, such as the degree of OSS/commercial integration, distribution equivalence, impact of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), structural dependencies, and deficiencies in governance processes. This comprehensive scoring provides accountability at the board level through detailed reports.

Why LOGIQ Stands Out

To effectively visualize foundational runtime, a high level of integration among technology, legal, and governance is essential. However, the following challenges exist:

- Technical analysis alone cannot identify whether a runtime is OSS or commercial.
- Legal assessments cannot determine directory structures or build identifiers independently.
- Security evaluations cannot interpret lifecycle implications within archives without cross-functional support.
- Governance functions struggle to prove the rationality of use cases.

LOGIQ emerges as the world’s only vendor offering a one-stop solution that encapsulates Runtime Forensics, License Intelligence, and Governance Advisory into a singular framework.
