SBOM | CTS-EMEA - Part 3

Control software supply-chain risk (SBOMs, signing, provenance).
SBOM covers dependency inventories, artifact signing, provenance (SLSA), and vulnerability burn-down as part of governed releases. Lives in DevSecOps Recovery.
Software Bill of Materials for each artifact: generation, signing, provenance (SLSA), deploy-time verification, and vulnerability burn-down within governed CI/CD.
SBOM = what you ship. It’s an inventory and provenance of components (supply-chain visibility). Core purpose: Component inventory & provenance for every build/artifact. Answers: What’s inside? Is it vulnerable? Is it signed/attested? Scope: Dependencies, versions, licenses, CVEs, build provenance (attestations, SLSA). Where it lives: Generated in CI, stored with artifacts (registry), verified at deploy/runtime. Typical controls: SBOM generation, artifact signing, provenance attestations, vuln scanning, license checks. Owners: Platform/DevSecOps + App teams (to remediate), Risk/Compliance (to attest). Failure modes: SBOMs exist but are ignored; unsigned artifacts; out-of-date inventories. Rescue signals: “We can’t tell what’s in prod,” supply-chain event panic, audit findings. KPIs (board): % artifacts with SBOM & signature; critical-CVE burn-down; license compliance rate; time-to-remediate.
SBOM lowers supply-chain exposure and speeds incident response (“which systems are affected?”).
