Key Areas We Assess

We assess the agreed controls that protect your software from source to release.

Source Control

Source Control

Repository access, branch protection, code review rules, and commit signing.

Build Pipeline

Build Pipeline

CI/CD configuration, runner isolation, pipeline permissions, and build integrity.

Pipeline Secrets

Pipeline Secrets

Credentials, tokens, and keys used by builds, and how they are protected.

Dependency Intake

Dependency Intake

Approved sources, pinning, private registries, and protection from malicious packages.

Artifacts & Registries

Artifacts & Registries

Artifact storage, access control, signing, and provenance.

Release & Deployment

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

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.
