Cyber Resilience Act: Securing Software Supply Chains

Both the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and a U.S. Executive Order from May 2021 require software vendors to provide a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). An SBOM offers a transparent overview of software components and their dependencies, helping organizations identify vulnerabilities and ensure compliance. While the CRA’s SBOM requirements will only become mandatory in 2027, best practices, tools, and guidelines are already available today. We help you take advantage of this head start — by guiding you through the implementation of a compliance-ready SBOM strategy and establishing an efficient, future-proof SBOM management framework.

SBOM: Turning Legal Requirements into Advantages

  • Rapid identification and remediation of technical and security-critical issues
  • Ensuring license compliance
  • Transparency enables cost savings in updates, patching, and migrations
  • Improved team collaboration in software development
  • Building trust with customers and partners

Data collection

With the help of modern build tools, we automatically extract the required data from your software solution. When external software is used, we coordinate communication with the vendors to ensure a complete SBOM data collection.

Centralization & Storage

By storing and continuously versioning the collected SBOM data in a standardized tool, you gain a reliable foundation to meet regulatory requirements while at the same time optimizing your software engineering lifecycle.

Integration into DevSecOps Processes

We advise you on how to evolve your SBOM management into a robust security and compliance tool.

Reporting & Governance

You receive a dashboard covering the components, licenses, and risks in use, including audit trails. The generated SBOMs can be exported at the push of a button for regulatory requests or internal reviews.
