Use Cases
Real-world applications of Codenotary for securing your software supply chain
Explore how leading organizations leverage Codenotary’s platform to meet compliance mandates, streamline SBOM creation, enforce security policies, and build end-to-end trust in every artifact.
Achieve Total Compliance
Stay audit-ready with NIST, NIS2, CRA & DORA
Financial services, healthcare, and critical-infrastructure operators use Codenotary to continuously validate that every component in their pipeline meets industry regulations. Cryptographically signed SBOMs, automated compliance scoring, and built-in policy checks ensure you’re always prepared for NIST (NIS2), EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), and Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) audits without manual effort.


Simplify SBOM Generation
One-click Software Bill of Materials for all your artifacts
Dev teams embed Codenotary into CI/CD to auto-generate SBOMs in SPDX or CycloneDX format. Within seconds, you get a complete inventory of open-source and third-party components—ready to share with partners, regulators, or customers. This use case reduces vulnerability response time by up to 70% and eliminates SBOM bottlenecks during release cycles.
Detect Tampering in Real Time
Instant file-integrity alerts for critical assets
Security and DevOps teams deploy Codenotary agents or agentless scanners to monitor binaries, container images, and system files. Whenever an unauthorized change occurs—whether due to a rogue insider, compromised CI pipeline, or filesystem drift—Codenotary sends real-time alerts, allowing you to quarantine and remediate before attackers can exploit modified code.


Enforce Security Policies Automatically
Block untrusted or out-of-policy components
Enterprises define allow-lists for approved vendors, versions, and cryptographic hashes in Codenotary’s policy-as-code engine. Any build or deployment containing untrusted artifacts is automatically stopped, preventing misconfigurations and unauthorized binaries from reaching production. This reduces policy violations by 95% and frees security teams from manual gatekeeping.
Secure Releases with Code Signing
Prove authenticity and maintain release integrity
Release engineering teams integrate Codenotary’s code-signing service into their pipelines to digitally sign every binary, container, and script. Signatures include author identity, timestamp, and commit hash—creating an indisputable audit trail. Downstream consumers and automated systems can then verify that only authorized code ever runs in development, QA, and production environments.


Continuous Vulnerability Scanning
Ongoing CVE monitoring for all software components
Security operations center (SOC) analysts connect their Codenotary inventory to real-time vulnerability feeds. The platform automatically scans OS packages, open-source libraries, and container images against active CVE databases. When a new critical vulnerability appears, prioritized alerts and remediation steps ensure your team can patch or replace affected components within hours, not days.
Prove Supply-Chain Origin with Artifact Attestation
Validate provenance at every stage
Manufacturing, embedded systems, and IoT vendors use Codenotary’s attestation feature to stamp each build artifact with its full provenance record—detailing source repository, build environment, and dependency tree. Customers and regulators can then cryptographically verify that delivered firmware or software comes from an approved process, reducing counterfeit and tampering risk.


Maintain Immutable Audit Logs
Compliant logging for PCI-DSS, FedRAMP & FISP
Information security teams rely on Codenotary’s append-only ledger to record every software event—from SBOM generation to policy enforcement and signature verification. These immutable logs meet the strictest audit requirements (PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, FISP) and provide forensic-grade evidence in the event of an incident, simplifying investigations and regulatory reporting.
