Supply Chain Security Assessment
Find and close the paths into your environment through packages, pipelines and vendors
Overview
Map What You Depend On
Attackers increasingly reach companies through what they depend on: open-source packages, build pipelines, vendor integrations and third-party access. Our Supply Chain Security Assessment maps those dependencies, tests how an attacker could use them, and gives you a plan to close the gaps. Where it fits, we put controls in place with Chainsaw, our tool for blocking malicious and typosquatted packages at install time and generating SBOMs.

Approach
Our Process
Scoping & Onboarding
We agree assessment goals with your technical teams, map the infrastructure involved and set up the access we need.
Solution Review
We review your dependencies, package sources, build pipeline and vendor connections, and test the paths an attacker could use to get code or access into your environment.
Reporting
An executive summary of the business risk, and a technical report with prioritised findings and step-by-step remediation.
Implementation Support (Optional)
We help put the recommendations in place: guided remediation for your infrastructure, install-time package protection and SBOM generation with Chainsaw, and advice on new security processes. We also offer security training for your teams and ongoing support as your supply chain changes.
What you receive
- A review of your dependencies, package sources, build pipeline and vendor connections
- An executive summary of the business risk
- A technical report with prioritised findings and remediation steps
- Optional help with remediation, package protection and SBOMs
Common questions
What counts as the supply chain?
Everything you depend on to build and run software: open-source packages, build pipelines, vendor integrations and third-party access.
Do we have to use Chainsaw?
No. We use Chainsaw for install-time package protection and SBOMs where it fits, and the assessment stands on its own without it.
