Secure, scalable platform for managing Software Bills of Materials

End-To-End SBOM Traceability

Connect SBOMs to builds in a traceable graph for complete dependency visibility

The Challenge

Generating SBOMs is easy, but managing and keeping them up-to-date is difficult. The typical enterprise application has hundreds of dependencies, and each dependency has further dependencies. This produces a massive amount of SBOM data, all of which needs to be stored for legal and compliance reasons. Enterprises also need a reliable, efficient way to connect SBOMs to specific builds, in case of a later security or compliance issue.

The Chainloop Solution

Chainloop provides a secure, scalable, and efficient platform to manage SBOMs. It integrates with popular CI/CD systems and tooling to directly record SBOMs during the software build and release process. It digitally signs and stores this data in a centralized repository, where it can be searched, audited, and verified.

SBOMs and builds are now connected in a traceable graph, enabling enterprises to visualize dependencies, vulnerabilities, and license compliance across products, releases and individual components.

Central Repository and Evidence Store

Chainloop captures artifacts, CI/CD metadata, and compliance evidence, like audit logs, test results, dependency scanning results, compliance reports, SBOMs, signatures, attestations, and more. It stores this data in a centralized, tamper-proof evidence repository, together with rich contextual information.

Every piece of evidence is connected in a traceable graph, providing complete visibility over your software lifecycle. This ensures that decisions are based on verifiable evidence, reports, artifacts, and data.

Digital Signing and PKI Integration

Chainloop uses digital signatures with the in-toto framework to protect artifacts and metadata, ensuring a tamper-proof, SLSA-compliant, and verifiable audit trail. Chainloop supports multiple signing methods, including keyed, keyless and custom PKI options.

Signing keys can be sourced from SigStore Cosign, KMS services, PKCS#11, or Kubernetes/GitLab secrets. Chainloop also provides integrations with enterprise PKI solutions like EJBCA and SignServer.

Curated Library of Policies-as-Code

Chainloop provides a curated set of policies tailored to common compliance controls, such as SBOM sanity checks, artifact signature verification, license checks, code quality and coverage checks, CVE scans, and many more. Both built-in policies and custom policies are supported.

The results of policy evaluations are stored in Chainloop’s evidence store and can be queried through the user interface. Policies are written in Rego and can be used to evaluate individual materials or the whole attestation document.

Policies are also reusable: this enables security, compliance and legal teams to define global rules (for example, “no GPL dependencies”) and have them enforced consistently across different products.

SBOM Capture and Analysis

Chainloop continuously captures and stores Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) from CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, …) and tooling (Trivy, BlackDuck, Checkov, ZAP, SAST, …).

Every SBOM is connected to a release via a traceable graph, providing granular insights for identification, investigation and audit.

Extensible Platform with Third-Party Integrations

Chainloop provides a set of ready-to-use integrations to enrich and operate on the data collected. Integrations are currently available for notifications (email, Slack, Discord), SBOM analysis (Dependency-Track), and dependency mapping (GUAC).

Chainloop’s functionality is also extensible via its plugin system; this enables developers and operators to add custom functionality based on their specific needs.
