Faster Software Security Evaluations for Deals and Onboarding

M&A and Due Diligence

By providing SBOMs for applications in an acquisition or onboarding process, you quickly gain insight into components, vulnerabilities, and licenses — enabling efficient and reliable evaluations.

Security Due Diligence at Speed

M&A and vendor onboarding processes are often slowed down by manual security reviews and limited visibility into software assets. Incomplete or inaccurate assessments can lead to unexpected risks and compliance issues post-acquisition.

Common Challenges

  • Time-consuming manual security assessments delay deals

  • Limited visibility into acquired or vendor software assets

  • Difficulty validating security claims and practices

  • No standardized process for evaluating software security posture
