Identifies risks and legal obligations
Software Governance Assessment
Most modern software is assembled from hundreds of ready-made building blocks. Any one of them can carry a hidden security flaw or legal strings attached. This assessment inventories every direct and transitive dependency across your codebase and tells you what to fix first.
What's Included
This assessment uncovers security flaws and license obligations that are already hidden in your software before they become costly to rectify.
Software Bill of Materials Report
A complete inventory of every component in your software — officially called a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) — in the standard formats that customers, auditors, and government agencies ask for.
Security Vulnerability Assessment
Each component is checked against public databases of known security flaws, so you'll know if anything you're using has a documented weakness (or is so old that no one maintains it anymore).
License Compliance Review
“Free” code often comes with conditions. Some licenses require giving credit; a few could even require you to make your own code public. We flag anything that puts your business at risk.
The Value to Your Organization
Reduce Legal Exposure. Respond Faster. Prove Compliance.
-
A Defensible Compliance Posture
Documented evidence of what's in your software, backed by tool outputs and a complete SBOM.
-
Reduced Legal Exposure
License violations surface before they become disputes, including obligations that could compromise proprietary code.
-
Faster Zero-Day Response
When a major security flaw makes the news, you can check your SBOM and know right away whether it affects you.
-
Audit-Ready Artifacts
SBOM deliverables are ready to support customer security questionnaires, SOC 2 evidence, and federal SBOM mandates.
How It Works
Timelines and pricing are based on how much code needs evaluation. Most assessments are completed in one to three weeks.
Start
Code Inventory is Taken
We scan your code and list every outside component your software relies on, including the ones hidden inside other components.
SBOM Generation
Your inventory is compiled into a standards-conformant SBOM in CycloneDX or SPDX format. This document is ready to hand to any customer or auditor that requests it.
SBOM Generation
Risk Analysis
Every component is checked for known security flaws, abandoned or outdated software, and licenses that create legal risk.
Findings & Remediation
You receive a prioritized, risk-ranked report with recommended upgrades, replacement libraries, or compensating controls. In short, it spells out spells out what to update, what to replace, and how to protect yourself when no fix exists yet.

Is this the right fit?
Your organization needs this assessment if your team is:
Preparing for internal or external audits, SOC 2 evidence requests, or customer security questionnaires
Responding to government mandates, including Executive Order 14028 and related CISA SBOM guidance
Conducting due diligence for the acquisition of your organization or an outside organization
Shipping proprietary software built on open source and unsure of the license obligations that come with it
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How long does an infrastructure assessment take?
Timelines scale with environment complexity, from a couple of weeks for a single-cloud environment to about a month for complex hybrid or regulated environments. Scope is fixed at kickoff.
-
Do you need access to our systems?
We agree on the access approach during scoping — either read-only credentials or a documentation-only review. You choose the level you're comfortable with.
-
What environments do you assess?
AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud environments, on-premises infrastructure, and hybrid configurations — along with the CI/CD pipelines and security practices around them.
-
Is this a security audit?
Security posture is one of six dimensions we assess, alongside reliability, DevOps maturity, cost efficiency, observability, and scalability. If you're preparing for a formal audit, the assessment identifies and prioritizes the gaps to close first.
