USE CASES

Streamline C-SCRM

Manifest helps organizations identify, assess, and monitor risks in their vendor ecosystem, aligning with NIST and CISA C-SCRM practices to secure the extended software supply chain.

Reduce Risk Across Your Software Supply Chain

Your security does not end at your codebase. Every vendor, supplier, and service provider you rely on expands your attack surface. Traditional vendor security focuses only on questionnaires and point-in-time reviews. C-SCRM goes further by ensuring cyber risks across hardware, software, cloud, and service providers are continuously identified, monitored, and controlled. Manifest operationalizes this approach so you can reduce third-party risk and protect your software supply chain end-to-end.

  • Supplier Risk Scoring

    Rate vendors by vulnerability exposure, compliance status, and exploitability context.

  • Continuous Monitoring

    Track vendor vulnerabilities and automatically flag new risks as they emerge.

  • C-SCRM Alignment

    Map your vendor program to NIST, CISA, DoD, and ISO/IEC C-SCRM best practices.

FAQs

What is C-SCRM?

C-SCRM (Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management) is the practice of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks across the entire supply chain, including vendors, software, and service providers.

How does Manifest help with vendor risk management?

Manifest enables organizations to request SBOMs from vendors, monitor vulnerabilities in supplier software, and score vendor risk using exploitability-driven context.

What frameworks does Manifest align with?

Manifest supports alignment with NIST C-SCRM, CISA practices, DoD supplier directives, and ISO/IEC supply chain standards.

How is C-SCRM different from a SBOM or AIBOM?

SBOMs and AIBOMs provide visibility into what’s inside software and AI systems. Vendor Management & C-SCRM extends this visibility into who supplies it, adding governance and accountability across the supply chain.

Can Manifest continuously monitor vendor risk?

Yes. Manifest continuously ingests vendor vulnerability data, updating supplier risk scores in real time.
