While a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a foundational first step toward building security transparency between enterprise software producers and buyers, it is merely a list of ingredients, providing little context to how internal software components map to software deployment risks.
To make tangible steps toward securing the software supply chain, organizations need to have actionable security assessments that identify immediate software risks and enable steps to mitigate them.
ReversingLabs is what we use to generate that SBOM. Our customers are requesting them. Our customers need them. The ability to produce SBOMs helps us close our deals.

Our biggest challenge was identifying the software risk we bring into our organization. Spectra Assure brought the visibility we needed.

The Spectra Assure™ SAFE Report goes beyond the scope of traditional SBOMs by generating more than a simple ingredient list. It provides a comprehensive and actionable analysis of first-, second-, and third-party components, including build artifacts, and maps them to embedded critical risk categories like embedded malware, code tampering, exposed secrets, and more.
The SAFE report raises the bar in software supply chain transparency for software producers, buyers, and regulators. It can be securely and privately shared to remove barriers, build transparency, and collaborate to address critical security fixes.
The SAFE report provides a summary of the key software safety concerns critical to AppSec, TPRM, and cyber-risk professionals. It provides a summary of all findings and buckets them across six risk categories - malware, tampering, secrets, hardening, vulnerabilities, and licenses.This helps identify, prioritize, and mitigate issues based on the category they belong to.
The SAFE report goes beyond typical SBOM solutions by not only cataloging every component, library, file, container, and artifact, but also highlighting embedded threats like malware, tampering, exposed secrets, and more.
The SAFE report enables transparency between software vendors and buyers by aggregating analysis results into digestible software risk Levels, and by providing a bi-directional view of findings through a shareable link that is:
Policy criteria within the SAFE report can be customized to align with internal controls. Businesses can also meet compliance mandates by generating SBOMs in either the CycloneDX or SPDX templates. This helps satisfy government regulations and guidance such as:
