What is an SBOM and do we need one?

A Software Bill of Materials is a complete inventory of the components and dependencies in your software. It is increasingly required by buyers and regulators and is the foundation for responding to new vulnerabilities quickly. We automate SBOM generation in CycloneDX or SPDX formats across your services.

How does this differ from CI/CD Pipeline Security?

CI/CD Pipeline Security hardens the pipeline infrastructure itself. Supply Chain Security focuses on the trust of what flows through it — dependencies, artifacts, SBOMs, signing, and provenance. They are complementary and often delivered together.

Which tools and ecosystems do you support?

We support major ecosystems (npm, PyPI, Maven, Go, NuGet, container images) and tools such as Sigstore/cosign, Syft, Grype, OpenSSF Scorecard, and native GitHub/GitLab supply-chain features. The approach is platform-agnostic and adapts to your stack.

How long does supply-chain program setup take?

Most engagements run 6–8 weeks for SBOM, provenance, and trust policies on primary release paths, then expand to additional products iteratively.

About This Service

Our Software Supply Chain Security service secures everything your software depends on and produces — third-party dependencies, build artifacts, and the path from source to release. We implement the SLSA framework and NIST SP 800-204D practices to deliver dependency trust, Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation, provenance attestation, artifact signing with Sigstore, and secrets protection, so tampering and malicious packages are caught before they reach production.

Why it matters

Third-party dependencies are the fastest-growing application attack surface
Customers and regulators increasingly require SBOM and provenance evidence
Typosquatting and compromised packages bypass traditional app testing
Without trust policies, every dependency update is a blind spot

Typical engagement

Duration

6–8 weeks for SBOM + provenance on primary products

Your involvement

Access to registries, dependency manifests, and release owners

Prerequisites

Package ecosystems in use (npm, Maven, PyPI, etc.) and compliance drivers

Part of DevSecOps & Release Security

Supply-chain security complements CI/CD hardening and DevSecOps automation in the release-security family.

SBOM generation (CycloneDX / SPDX) across services

Provenance attestation and SLSA level uplift (Level 1-3)

Artifact signing and verification with Sigstore / cosign

How It Works

Supply Chain Mapping

We inventory dependencies, build systems, registries, and release paths to map your software supply chain and its trust boundaries

SBOM & Provenance

We automate SBOM generation and provenance attestation in your pipelines following SLSA and NIST SP 800-204D guidance

Signing & Verification

We enable artifact signing with Sigstore/cosign and enforce verification and release gates before deployment

Continuous Trust

We set up ongoing dependency monitoring, malicious package detection, and supply-chain risk dashboards for continuous assurance

Why HafezSecure

SLSA & NIST 800-204D Aligned

We implement recognized supply-chain frameworks so your evidence maps directly to procurement and Secure-by-Demand expectations

Evidence, Not Promises

Signed artifacts, SBOMs, and provenance give you verifiable proof of integrity instead of trust assumptions

Pipeline-Native

Controls run inside your existing CI/CD so security is automated, not a manual gate that slows releases

Malicious Package Defense

Continuous detection of vulnerable and malicious dependencies stops supply-chain attacks before they ship

Typical results

Teams implementing supply-chain controls typically produce SBOM-backed releases and dependency trust policies on primary products within two monthly release cycles.
