Product security

Reduce risk across the code, dependencies, and pipelines you trust.

A practical review of source integrity, third-party dependencies, build systems, artifacts, release controls, and software provenance.

01 / Overview

What is Software Supply Chain Security Review?

A practical review of source integrity, third-party dependencies, build systems, artifacts, release controls, and software provenance.

Hackstack Security delivers it as a scoped, agentic engagement: AI agents on local and client-approved API models expand coverage, our specialists test the logic and attack chains agents miss, and every finding is validated by a human, explained in business terms, and retested after you fix it.

  • AI agents plus manual testers
  • Human-validated findings only
  • Retest and closure status included
02 / Outcomes

What outcomes should you expect?

Every engagement is designed around the risk your team needs to understand and the action it needs to take.

01

Reduced dependency exposure

02

Stronger release integrity

03

Clear supply-chain improvement plan

03 / Coverage

What does supply chain security testing cover?

Proven methodology plus the judgment needed to uncover context-specific risk.

01

Dependency and package risk review

02

Build and release pipeline assessment

03

Artifact integrity and signing review

04

Secrets and token exposure analysis

05

SBOM and provenance readiness

06

Third-party software risk guidance

04 / Timing

When should you run supply chain security testing?

Test before a finding turns into a release delay, a customer escalation, or an incident.

01

Before a major launch, migration, or architecture change

02

When enterprise customers or partners request security evidence

03

After meaningful changes to identity, data, integrations, or infrastructure

04

When your team needs an independent view of real-world risk

05 / Technical research

Which questions do we test?

Frameworks support consistent coverage. The assessment remains driven by your architecture, trust boundaries, threat model, and business workflows.

Questions we test
  1. Can a compromised dependency, build step, or token alter a release?
  2. Can untrusted contributors or workflows reach sensitive build credentials?
  3. Can artifacts be replaced or promoted without integrity verification?
  4. Can the organization identify which products contain an affected component?
Evidence we produce
  • Repository, pipeline, dependency, and release-control observations
  • Artifact integrity and provenance gap analysis
  • Prioritized recommendations for build and dependency trust
06 / Methodology

How does Hackstack Security test?

Testing is scoped, evidence-led, and designed to reduce risk without creating unnecessary disruption.

01

Context first

We learn the system, users, trust boundaries, and business objectives before testing begins.

02

Expert-led testing

Automation supports coverage. Human analysis finds the issues that depend on judgment and context.

03

Clear prioritization

Findings are ranked by exploitability, impact, and what matters to your organization.

04

Remediation partnership

We stay engaged through fixes, answer engineering questions, and validate closure.

07 / Deliverables

What will you receive?

Reports are written for the people who need to make decisions, fix issues, and demonstrate improvement.

Executive summary and risk narrative

Detailed technical findings

Risk rating and prioritization

Exploit evidence and reproduction steps

Developer-friendly remediation guidance

Retest status and closure validation

08 / FAQ

Supply Chain Security questions, answered.

Still unsure? Ask us directly and we will reply with a proposed scope.

What does Software Supply Chain Security Review include?

It covers dependency and package risk review, build and release pipeline assessment, artifact integrity and signing review, secrets and token exposure analysis, SBOM and provenance readiness, and third-party software risk guidance. Each engagement is scoped to your environment and ends with validated findings, remediation guidance, and a readout.

What will we receive at the end?

You receive an executive summary, detailed technical findings with exploit evidence and reproduction steps, risk ratings, developer-ready remediation guidance, and retest status. The goal is reduced dependency exposure, stronger release integrity, clear supply-chain improvement plan.

Which frameworks guide the testing?

Coverage is aligned with NIST Secure Software Development Framework, SLSA Specification, CISA Secure by Design, then shaped by your architecture, trust boundaries, and business workflows.

Do you use AI agents or only manual testing?

Both. AI agents running on self-hosted local models, and on API-based models when you approve them, handle reconnaissance, surface mapping, fuzzing, and hypothesis generation, while our specialists test business logic and chained attacks manually. Every result is validated by a practitioner before it is reported.

Can you support remediation and retesting?

Yes. We walk your engineers through findings, answer implementation questions, and retest agreed fixes to document final status for stakeholders and auditors.
