SOFTWARE COMPOSITION ANALYSIS

SOFTWARE COMPOSITION ANALYSIS

Know Every Component In Your Software - And Every Vulnerability It Carries

Secureroot's software composition analysis (SCA) services help SaaS, fintech, healthcare, and enterprise dev teams audit open-source dependencies, generate SBOMs, identify known CVEs in third-party libraries, and manage license compliance risk. Coverage across npm, PyPI, Maven, NuGet, RubyGems, and more. ISO 27001 certified. SOC 2 audit-ready.

TRUSTED BY ENTERPRISES ACROSS BFSI, FINTECH, HEALTHCARE & GOVERNMENT

Software Composition Analysis - what it actually is

Software Composition Analysis (SCA) is the systematic identification and security audit of every open-source library, framework, and component used in your software — including the dependencies of your dependencies (transitive dependencies). The output is a complete Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) – like a list of ingredients for your application – plus a vulnerability assessment of every component, license compliance audit, and prioritized remediation plan.

Modern software is 70-90% open-source code. A typical web application uses 200-500 direct dependencies plus thousands of transitive dependencies you never explicitly chose. Each one is a potential security risk – from accidental vulnerabilities (Log4Shell, OpenSSL CVEs) to deliberate supply chain attacks (event-stream npm package, ua-parser-js, recent xz utils backdoor). SCA gives you visibility and control: what’s in your software, what’s vulnerable, what’s licensed how, and what to fix first.

SBOM and SCA have moved from nice-to-have to regulatory mandate. SOC 2 Type II requires evidence of dependency vulnerability management. ISO 27001:2022 Annex A.5.21 explicitly requires supply chain security. NIST SSDF requires SBOMs. The US Executive Order 14028 requires SBOMs for federal software. DPDP Act mandates demonstrable security testing. Enterprise customers demand SBOMs before signing contracts. Without SCA, you’re flying blind on the 70-90% of your code you didn’t write – and auditors, customers, and attackers all know it.

OUR APPROACH

OUR APPROACH

Our proven 6-step software composition analysis methodology

We follow NIST SSDF, CycloneDX SBOM standard, SPDX standard, and OWASP Dependency-Check methodology. Every SCA engagement runs through these six steps – from inventory to remediation.

Dependency Inventory

Dependency Inventory

We catalog every dependency across all repositories in scope – package manager manifests (package.json, requirements.txt, pom.xml, build.gradle, Gemfile, go.mod, Cargo.toml, composer.json) plus transitive dependencies.

SBOM Generation

SBOM Generation

We generate a complete Software Bill of Materials in standard formats (CycloneDX, SPDX) covering every direct and transitive dependency, version, source repository, and license – your audit-ready inventory.

Vulnerability Scanning

Vulnerability Scanning

Industry SCA tools (Snyk, Black Duck, Mend, Sonatype Nexus IQ, OWASP Dependency-Check, npm audit, Trivy) cross-reference your SBOM against NVD, GitHub Security Advisories, and ecosystem-specific vulnerability databases.

Vulnerability Prioritization & Exploitability Analysis

Vulnerability Prioritization & Exploitability Analysis

Senior consultants validate findings – eliminating false positives, assessing actual exploitability in your code (is the vulnerable function actually called?), and prioritizing by EPSS, business impact, and reachability.

Audit-Grade Reporting + License Audit

Audit-Grade Reporting + License Audit

Every finding documented with affected packages, CVE details, exploitability assessment, license analysis, CVSS scoring, and remediation guidance (upgrade path, alternative library, or compensating control).

Free Retest

Free Retest

Once your team patches the findings, we verify the fixes at no extra cost. Engagement only closes when everything’s actually fixed.

We work with companies that take cybersecurity seriously - from 20-person startups to 2,000-person enterprises - across BFSI, fintech, healthcare, government, and SaaS.

SCA SCOPE

SCA SCOPE

What we cover in a software composition analysis engagement

Click any area to expand. Every engagement covers all 8 categories – scope depth varies based on your application size and complexity.

We catalog every dependency declared in your package manifests (direct dependencies) plus every dependency-of-dependency (transitive dependencies). For a typical Node.js project with 50 direct dependencies, the transitive count often exceeds 1,500 packages. We cover npm, PyPI, Maven Central, NuGet, RubyGems, Packagist, Go modules, Cargo, Hex, and Conan. Output is a unified inventory with versions, sources, and dependency graphs.
