Software Supply Chain & SBOM Risk Intelligence Solution
Software supply chains have corporate owners.
Software Bill of Materials requirements now include the corporate identity and ownership of software component vendors – not just the package names. Sayari resolves the corporate network behind every component in your SBOM, identifying foreign state-linked ownership before it becomes an Executive Order compliance issue.
68%
of software components in U.S. federal agency SBOMs in 2024 had at least one upstream maintainer or vendor with beneficial ownership in China, Russia, or other adversary-designated states – per CISA SBOM pilot analysis.

THE PROBLEM
Why SBOM compliance misses ownership risk
The structural gaps that point solutions can’t close.
Foreign state-linked maintainers
Executive Order 14028 and OMB M-22-18 require agencies to assess software supply chain risk – including the corporate identity of software vendors and maintainers. Most SBOM tools track package names, not the beneficial owners of the companies behind them.
Open-source corporate opacity
Major open-source projects receive significant contributions from developers employed by foreign state-linked corporations. Without corporate ownership data, SBOM reviewers can’t assess the national security implications of component dependencies.
Acquisition-driven exposure change
A software vendor that was benign at initial procurement may now be owned by a foreign state-linked acquirer. Software supply chain risk changes continuously – SBOM programs built on static data at procurement time miss this dynamic exposure.
