Choosing an SBOM management platform
SBOM tools are not interchangeable. Here is what actually separates them — and how SBOMVault compares to the platforms teams evaluate most often.
Generation breadth
Can it build SBOMs from your real stack — every package ecosystem, OS packages, and containers — not just one language?
Risk prioritization
Does it go beyond raw CVE counts to exploitability (EPSS), active exploitation (CISA KEV), and reachability, so your team fixes what matters?
Customer & vendor sharing
Can you hand customers a live, audited SBOM and receive SBOMs from your own vendors — or is it inbound-only scanning?
Compliance evidence
Does it produce the artifacts regulators ask for — NTIA, EU CRA, FDA, EO 14028 — and open-source license obligations for legal?
Remediation
Does it just report problems, or open fix pull requests and track them to closure?
Governance & audit
SSO/SCIM, role separation, and a tamper-evident audit trail long enough to satisfy an examiner?
