Bridging the Visibility Gap in Software Supply Chain Security
Discover how GitLab helps organisations address visibility and trust challenges in the software supply chain, reducing risk and improving compliance with a secure, integrated DevSecOps platform.
Closing Gaps in Software Supply Chain Visibility
The modern software supply chain is increasingly complex and decentralised, heightening concerns about visibility and security. Managing multiple tools, third-party dependencies, open source components, and distributed teams across various pipelines creates significant risks for organisations seeking compliance and resilience. GitLab addresses this challenge by integrating the software development lifecycle into a single, secure DevSecOps platform.
In recent years, several high-profile security breaches have highlighted vulnerabilities in the software supply chain, often due to a lack of transparency around where and how software components are built, sourced, and deployed. These issues are exacerbated by siloed development tools and scattered security processes, leaving gaps that malicious actors can exploit.
GitLab provides a comprehensive solution with built-in visibility and traceability. Every component, from source code to deployment, is traceable within the same platform. GitLab’s software bill of materials (SBOMs), dependency scanning, container scanning, and vulnerability management help teams understand each dependency’s risk profile and ensure trust across the chain.
For compliance-focused teams, GitLab supports automated policy enforcement and alignment with standards like SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts) and NIST Secure Software Development Framework. This means organisations can demonstrate due diligence and reduce the chances of supply chain-related noncompliance.
GitLab also reduces developer burden by shifting security left — integrating security into development and CI/CD workflows and automating testing at each stage. This not only mitigates risk but also accelerates development velocity.
