Modern software increasingly combines open-source components, proprietary code, and artificial intelligence technologies. Organizations must therefore manage not only traditional software dependencies, but also AI-generated code and embedded AI/LLM technologies, from both a security and compliance perspective.
BearingPoint’s SBOM & AI BOM Management Services provide full visibility into software composition and AI usage across your products, enabling informed risk management, compliance with emerging regulations, and increased transparency across the software supply chain.
Why do you need SBOM Management
A Software Bill of Materials provides a transparent inventory of every component in your software products. With proper management, you unlock powerful benefits.
- Mitigate security risks by identifying vulnerable components before they impact your business with proactive threat detection.
- Accelerate compliance with emerging regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), NIS2, and U.S. Executive Order 14028.
- Build customer trust through transparency and proactive governance that strengthens stakeholder confidence.
- Strengthen your supplier ecosystem with standardized reporting and clear risk ownership across your entire supply chain.
- Improve efficiency by reducing rework and accelerating development through better component tracking and visibility.

Quality assurance & normalization to meet CycloneDX and SPDX standards
We ensure that your SBOMs meet industry standards (e.g., CycloneDX, SPDX) and unify data across sources for consistent reporting and decision making.
-
Vulnerability & license risk analytics for proactive security
Leveraging our deep expertise in open source compliance, we analyze SBOM data to detect:
- Known vulnerabilities (CVEs)
- Compliance risks (license obligations, incompatible licenses)
- Operational risks (deprecated or unmaintained components)
-
Governance & policy implementation for compliance & DevSecOps efficiency
We help your organization define rules for component usage, risk acceptance, approval workflows, and retention policies, making compliance predictable and embedded in day-to-day operations.
-

- Collection and verification of SBOMs from all suppliers
- Risk assessment and mitigation coordination directly with suppliers
- Consolidation of supplier SBOM formats into a single product SBOM

Questions around BearingPoint SBOM Management Services
-
How does BearingPoint differ from SBOM software vendors?
Unlike software vendors who provide a platform you must operate yourself, BearingPoint offers an "Outcome-as-a-Service". We combine specialized legal and technical expertise with a curated selection of top scanning tools to deliver audit-ready reports, so your team doesn't have to manage the tool complexity.
-
Is BearingPoint tied to a specific scanning tool?
No. We are tool-agnostic. We use a tailored combination of leading commercial and open-source scanning technologies to ensure the most accurate results for your specific codebase, whether it’s source code or compiled binaries.
-
How do your services support the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)?
We provide the full lifecycle of documentation required by the CRA, including mandatory vulnerability reporting and technical documentation (SBOMs). Our services ensure you meet the December 2027 deadline for full compliance, helping you avoid penalties that can reach up to €15 million or 2.5% of global turnover.
-
Can you handle SBOMs from my third-party suppliers?
Yes. A major part of our managed service is Supplier Governance. We directly handle the collection, verification, and risk assessment of SBOMs from your suppliers, consolidating them into a single, comprehensive product SBOM for you.
-
How long does a typical analysis take?
We align our delivery with your specific schedule. Generally, once we receive your codebase, you can expect a comprehensive analysis report within 1–2 weeks.
-
How is our proprietary code protected during the process?
Security is our highest priority. We use encrypted data transfers and private, password-protected server areas in restricted data centers to ensure your code is handled with strict confidentiality and deleted immediately after the analysis is complete.
