Supply Chain Security

Understand the components behind every application.

Your application is more than the code your team writes. Dependencies and third-party components introduce their own vulnerabilities and licensing considerations. Qualipr helps make those components more visible and assessable—from dependency risk to software inventory and license information.

The challenge

Your code is only part of the software you ship.

Modern applications rely on libraries, frameworks, packages, and other third-party components. These dependencies help teams build faster, but they also introduce risks that are easy to overlook when teams focus only on their own source code. Without visibility into those components, it becomes harder to understand which dependencies may be vulnerable and what licensing considerations they bring.

01

Hidden dependencies

Applications rely on third-party components that may not be obvious from reviewing first-party code alone.

02

Unseen vulnerability exposure

A vulnerable dependency can affect an application even when the issue is outside the code your team wrote.

03

Fragmented software inventory

Without a structured component view, it is harder to understand what makes up an application.

04

Unclear license information

Third-party components may carry license terms that teams need to identify and review.

The Qualipr approach

From dependency visibility to informed decisions.

Qualipr brings related supply chain security capabilities into one connected platform. Identify the components behind an application, assess dependencies against vulnerability information, organize component details through SBOM data, and make license information available for review.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Identify software components and dependencies used by an application.

  2. 02

    Assess

    Evaluate dependencies against available vulnerability information and identify affected components.

  3. 03

    Inventory

    Use structured SBOM data to support component visibility and traceability.

  4. 04

    Review

    Make license information visible to support review of third-party component usage.

Software Composition Analysis

See what your application is made of.

Your application contains more than the code maintained by your team. Software Composition Analysis (SCA) helps identify the software components and dependencies behind an application, giving your team a clearer starting point for understanding its third-party software composition and related security considerations.

  • Component visibilityIdentify software components and dependencies used by an application.
  • Composition contextUnderstand the third-party software that forms part of your application.
  • Security assessment contextUse component information as a basis for dependency-related security review.

Dependency Security

Identify vulnerable dependencies before they become a blind spot.

A vulnerability in a third-party dependency can introduce risk into the application that uses it. Dependency vulnerability scanning assesses supported dependencies against available vulnerability information and helps identify affected components, giving teams a starting point for investigating dependency-related exposure.

  • Dependency assessmentAssess supported dependencies against available vulnerability information.
  • Affected componentsIdentify components associated with detected dependency vulnerabilities.
  • Investigation contextReview the available information to understand which components may need attention.

Software Transparency

Make your software inventory easier to understand.

A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) provides a structured inventory of the software components that make up an application. Qualipr's SBOM capability is intended to support component traceability and supply chain review, while providing an input for dependency and license governance.

  • Structured component inventoryRepresent the software components that make up an application.
  • Component traceabilitySupport review of the components included in the software.
  • Governance inputProvide component information that can support dependency and license review.

Software License Visibility

Understand the licenses behind the components you use.

Third-party components come with license terms that may matter to how software is used, distributed, and maintained. Qualipr's License Governance capability is intended to make license information more visible and help teams review license-related considerations across their software components.

  • License identificationMake available license information associated with software components.
  • License reviewHelp teams identify license-related considerations for further review.
  • Governance supportSupport policy review of third-party component usage.

One supply chain picture

Connect component visibility, vulnerability context, and license information.

Understanding software supply chain risk requires more than identifying a package name. Component visibility, vulnerability assessment, structured software inventory, and license information each provide a different part of the picture. Qualipr brings these related capabilities under its Supply Chain Security module so teams can build a more informed view of the third-party software behind their applications.

Integrated Analysis Workflow

Bring dependency assessment into your development workflow.

Qualipr is designed to orchestrate supported analysis engines and bring their results into one platform. The documented workflow runs core analysis through CLI and CI/CD, packages scan outputs, and uploads results to Qualipr for review. Dependency security is part of the documented scanner architecture.
