Key Areas We Assess
We assess the agreed controls that protect your software from source to release.
Source Control
Repository access, branch protection, code review rules, and commit signing.
Build Pipeline
CI/CD configuration, runner isolation, pipeline permissions, and build integrity.
Pipeline Secrets
Credentials, tokens, and keys used by builds, and how they are protected.
Dependency Intake
Approved sources, pinning, private registries, and protection from malicious packages.
Artifacts & Registries
Artifact storage, access control, signing, and provenance.
Release & Deployment
Release approvals, promotion controls, and integrity checks before deployment.
Our Supply Chain Review Methodology
A control-based review of your pipeline, grounded in evidence and agreed scope.
Scope & Objectives
Agree products, repositories, pipelines, registries, and release paths in scope.
Pipeline Mapping
Map the flow from source to build, artifact, and release.
Source Control Review
Assess repository access, protections, and review requirements.
Build Control Review
Assess CI/CD configuration, permissions, secrets, and runner isolation.
Dependency Intake Review
Assess how third-party components are sourced, pinned, and approved.
Artifact & Release Review
Assess artifact integrity, signing, provenance, and release approvals.
Reporting & Debriefing
Receive risk-ranked findings, evidence, and a prioritized improvement plan.
Revalidation & Closure
Review implemented changes and document updated status.
Deliverables
Every engagement delivers control findings your platform teams can act on.
Strengthen Your Security Coverage
Extend supply chain checks into code review, secure lifecycle validation, and cloud security.

Frequently Asked Questions
SCA analyzes dependency risk, and an SBOM assessment checks your inventory. Supply chain checks assess the controls across source, build, dependencies, artifacts, and release.
Only the controls agreed during scoping, such as source control, CI/CD, dependency intake, artifact registries, and release. Not every engagement covers every stage.
No. This is a control review based on configuration, evidence, and interviews. Active testing of pipelines is performed only if separately agreed.
Commonly SLSA and NIST SP 800-218 (SSDF), mapped to other requirements you follow.
Read-only access to relevant repository, pipeline, and registry settings, or guided screen-share sessions, plus time with your platform team.
