SBOM for every release
CycloneDX or SPDX files generated in CI, attached to releases, and kept for every version you ship.
The Problem
You Ship Thousands of Packages Nobody on Your Team Has Checked
It shows up when a widely used package turns out to be backdoored. A customer asks whether you're affected, and nobody can answer quickly.
01 · No inventory
Nobody can list which packages each release contains.
Every release ships with a stored SBOM your team can search.
02 · Floating tags
CI actions point at tags that can quietly change.
Actions are pinned to full commit hashes and updated through reviewed pull requests.
03 · Leaky tokens
Long-lived publish tokens sit in CI variables for years.
Short-lived OIDC credentials and trusted publishing replace stored tokens.
04 · Untraceable builds
Releases built on laptops can't be traced to a commit.
Hosted builds sign provenance that links each artifact to its source commit.
Your app pulls in a few dozen direct dependencies, which pull in hundreds more. A CI workflow uses a third-party action pinned to a tag that its owner could move at any time. Release builds sometimes run on a developer's laptop when the pipeline is slow. Then a popular package is reported compromised, and a customer emails asking if you're affected. Nobody can say which releases include it, because nobody keeps a list.
Software supply chain security starts with knowing what you ship. We generate an SBOM for every release and store it where you can search it. Then we close the common entry points: unpinned CI actions, long-lived tokens, unreviewed dependency updates, and builds nobody can trace. Every release gets signed provenance showing which commit built it. When the next bad package is reported, you search instead of guessing.
An SBOM for every release
Each release ships with a machine-readable list of every component, stored where you can search it.
CI actions pinned by SHA
Third-party actions are locked to full commit hashes, so a moved tag can't change your build.
Signed, traceable builds
Signed provenance shows which commit and workflow produced each release your customers install.
Our Software Supply Chain Security Process
From Dependency Review to Signed Releases in Five Clear Steps
Every change lands as a pull request you review, and you see the SBOM, the risk list, and the signing setup before anything reaches a customer.
We look at your repositories, lockfiles, CI workflows, and how releases get built and published. You get a short risk summary and a fixed price. If GitHub's built-in dependency alerts and a few settings already cover you, we'll tell you before we quote.
What's Included
What You Get When Securing the Software Supply Chain
An SBOM per release, a dependency audit, a hardened CI pipeline, signed builds, and intake rules for new packages: software supply chain security and SBOM work in one project.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built apps, platforms, and websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Engineering Teams Trust Us With Their Supply Chain
Supply chain work touches your builds and releases. These habits keep every change reviewed, reversible, and explained to the people who ship.
Every change as a pull request
Pinning, permission changes, and new workflow steps arrive as pull requests your team reviews. Nothing changes in your pipeline without a visible diff.
Risk before noise
Scanners flag hundreds of issues. We rank them by whether the vulnerable code is reachable and exposed, so your team fixes what matters first.
Careful with open source
We prefer upgrading to forking, and we check maintainer activity before adding a package. Open source software supply chain security starts with choosing what to depend on.
Tools you already have
GitHub, GitLab, and free open source tools cover most of the work. We suggest a paid platform only when your scale actually needs one.
Documented for the next engineer
Every policy, pipeline change, and signing step is written down in your repository. Your team can maintain it without calling us.
Least privilege by default
Workflows get only the permissions they need, and credentials expire quickly instead of living for years. A leaked token stops being useful fast.

Good fit
SaaS teams facing security reviews
An enterprise customer's security review asks for an SBOM and how you control dependencies, and you have neither written down.
Teams publishing npm packages
You maintain packages on npm and want trusted publishing and provenance instead of a long-lived token sitting in your CI settings.
Container teams on Kubernetes
You build Docker images in GitHub or GitLab, and you want only signed images from your own pipeline to reach the Kubernetes cluster.
Companies selling software in the EU
Your customers are in the EU, and you want an SBOM process running before the Cyber Resilience Act's main obligations apply in December 2027.
Agencies shipping client software
Your agency builds apps for clients who now ask for SBOMs, and you want one software supply chain security management process across projects.
Not a fit
Need secure coding practices
Your gap is how code gets designed, reviewed, and tested, not dependencies and builds. Our secure software development services cover the full secure SDLC.
No CI/CD pipeline yet
You deploy by hand and have no pipeline to harden yet. Our CI/CD pipeline setup services build one first, starting from $700.
Need a penetration test
You need testers to attack your running app and prove what's exploitable. Our web application penetration testing services fit that job better.
One static site
You run one static site with a handful of dependencies and no releases to customers. Your code host's dependency alerts may be all you need.

A supply chain project at DeveloperLook starts at $900 for one repository, covering SBOMs, a dependency audit, pinned CI actions, and signed provenance. The $2,300 plan covers up to 5 repositories with signed container images and trusted publishing. The $4,600 plan covers up to 20 repositories with Dependency-Track and signature checks before deploys.
Securing one repository's supply chain takes 1 to 2 weeks. The SBOM and dependency audit take 2 to 4 days, pipeline hardening up to a week, and signing a few days more. Five repositories take 3 to 4 weeks, and a 20-repository program takes 5 to 8 weeks, since each pipeline needs its own changes reviewed and merged.
Supply chain security protects everything between your developers and your users: dependencies, build systems, CI credentials, and release packages. Attackers increasingly target those steps instead of your own code, as the xz Utils backdoor (CVE-2024-3094) and the tj-actions/changed-files compromise showed. The goal is to know every component you ship and prove where each release came from.
You prevent most of them by limiting what can change your build without review. Pin CI actions to full commit SHAs, give workflows minimal permissions, and replace stored tokens with short-lived OIDC credentials. Review dependency updates before merging, and watch for new install scripts. The Shai-Hulud npm worm spread by stealing publish tokens, which is why trusted publishing beats stored tokens.
You improve it by measuring first, then raising one layer at a time. OpenSSF Scorecard checks a repository for risky practices such as unpinned dependencies and missing branch protection. The SLSA build levels then give a ladder for build integrity: provenance first, then signed provenance from a hosted platform, then hardened, isolated builds. We work through them in that order.
SBOMs turn the question of whether you're affected into a search. An SBOM lists every component and version in a release, in CycloneDX or SPDX format. When a new vulnerability lands, you query stored SBOMs instead of rebuilding old versions. CISA's 2026 minimum elements for an SBOM, which replace the 2021 NTIA list, add fields such as component hashes and licenses.
Choose a platform by the gap it closes, not by its feature list. Software supply chain security companies mostly sell dependency scanning, while signing, provenance, and pipeline hardening often come free with GitHub, GitLab, and Sigstore. Check that a platform reads your lockfiles, exports CycloneDX or SPDX, and fits your CI. Many teams need the free tools first and a paid platform later.
For most teams that ship software to customers, yes, because the basics are cheap and incidents are expensive to explain. Pinning actions, scoping tokens, and generating SBOMs take days, not months. Enterprise buyers increasingly ask for SBOMs, and the EU Cyber Resilience Act requires manufacturers to draw one up once its main obligations apply in December 2027.
SLSA is a software supply chain security framework from the OpenSSF that grades how trustworthy your builds are. Its build track runs from level 1, where provenance exists, to level 3, where builds run isolated on a hardened platform. GitHub artifact attestations reach Build Level 2 on their own and Level 3 with reusable workflows. The current spec is v1.2.
Yes. SBOMs live with your releases, and policies and workflows live in your repositories. Signing uses keyless Sigstore certificates tied to your CI identity, so there are no private keys for us to hold. At handover we remove our access. For 30 days after that, we help apply the process to new releases and answer questions.
