Compliance data shouldn't require a scramble

Most teams spend weeks gathering dependency data, chasing license information, and assembling SBOMs before an audit. ActiveState generates that documentation automatically every time a component is built. When the auditor asks, the data is already there.

Signed SBOMs on every artifact

Every package, runtime, and container image includes a complete Software Bill of Materials generated at build time. SBOMs are cryptographically signed and include the full dependency tree, licensing data, and build provenance.

100%

Full dependency trees including transitive and OS-level packages

Cryptographic

Signatures for tamper-proof verification

Machine Readable

Compatible with SPDX and CycloneDX

What SBOM formats does ActiveState support?

SBOMs are generated in machine-readable formats compatible with SPDX and CycloneDX, the two most widely adopted standards for software supply chain documentation.

Does ActiveState track license types?

Yes. Every component includes verified license metadata. You can set license policies at the catalog level to block components with incompatible licenses before they enter your environment.

How does ActiveState work with existing compliance tooling?

ActiveState SBOMs and VEX advisories integrate with your existing GRC and compliance platforms. The data is available programmatically and can be pulled into your audit workflows automatically.

Do SBOMs cover transitive dependencies?

Yes. Every SBOM includes the full dependency tree, from direct imports through transitive and OS-level packages. Nothing is hidden.
