01 / The rule

What SBOM requires

Software producers selling to federal agencies or regulated buyers, and organizations that procure or operate software.

  1. 01Produce SBOMs with the 17 minimum data fields, including component producer, version, identifiers, hash value and license.
  2. 02Record SBOM author, timestamp, tool name and version, and generation context (lifecycle phase).
  3. 03Sign the SBOM so recipients can confirm it is unaltered (SBOM Author Signature).
  4. 04Use machine-processable formats such as SPDX or CycloneDX and update the SBOM when components change.
  5. 05For federal cloud contracts with SBOM terms, provide an SBOM of the runtime production environment on request.

02 / In this sector

In a defense AI workflow

Optional evidence · where Planisphere fits

Keep a record anyone can check

When your team meets a duty, Planisphere can seal the event it reports as a receipt.

01 · Your teamRecord the event

A disclosure shown, a review signed, a model change approved: the event your system reports.

02 · PlanisphereSeal it

The event becomes a sealed receipt, dated and attributed to whoever is signed in.

03 · AnyoneCheck it

Paste the receipt into Verify. No account or key.

A record supports your compliance evidence process. It is not a legal finding or a certification. Systems that call Planisphere's gate API can also hold or refuse an action before it runs.
