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. Manifest gives you the visibility and workflows to assess supplier security posture, exchange SBOMs, monitor vulnerabilities, and enforce C-SCRM best practices, all within a unified platform.

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.

Outcomes of Stronger C-SCRM

Reduce Third-Party Risk

Gain continuous visibility into vendor vulnerabilities and dependencies, lowering the risk of hidden threats from your suppliers.

Regulatory Alignment

Meet NIST C-SCRM, DoD, and CISA requirements with a structured, proactive approach to supplier risk management.

Resilient Operations

Protect business continuity by detecting and mitigating supply chain risks before they disrupt critical systems.

Stronger Customer & Partner Trust

Demonstrate supply chain security assurance in procurement processes, winning confidence with stakeholders and accelerating relationships.

How Manifest Empowers C-SCRM

With Manifest Supplier Risk, assessing vendor risk isn’t a static questionnaire, it’s a continuous, transparent, and auditable process.
  • Vendor SBOM Exchange

    Request and manage SBOMs from vendors to validate components and dependencies.

  • 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 an SBOM and why does it matter?

A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a detailed inventory of every component inside your software, including open-source libraries, dependencies, and third-party code. It helps you identify hidden vulnerabilities, manage licensing risk, and comply with regulations like EO 14028 and NIST 800-218.

How does Manifest generate SBOMs?

Manifest automates SBOM generation across your entire application fleet,  in seconds. We support formats like SPDX, CycloneDX, and VEX, and go beyond repositories to analyze binaries, embedded code, and real-world deployments.

How is Manifest different from traditional SCA tools?

Traditional Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools scan individual repos and often generate noisy alerts. Manifest offers universal technology transparency, assessing risk across your entire product line, including non-CVE threats, committer insights, and AI models.

How often should I update my SBOMs?

SBOMs should be generated continuously, not just when a product is released. Manifest supports real-time SBOM monitoring, enrichment, and vulnerability tracking so your inventory stays accurate, actionable, and audit-ready.
