SBOM for tutor and grader workflows
SBOM in tutor and grader workflows: what compliance requires, who asks for evidence, and the records to keep.
01 / The rule
What SBOM requires
Software producers selling to federal agencies or regulated buyers, and organizations that procure or operate software.
- 01Produce SBOMs with the 17 minimum data fields, including component producer, version, identifiers, hash value and license.
- 02Record SBOM author, timestamp, tool name and version, and generation context (lifecycle phase).
- 03Sign the SBOM so recipients can confirm it is unaltered (SBOM Author Signature).
- 04Use machine-processable formats such as SPDX or CycloneDX and update the SBOM when components change.
- 05For federal cloud contracts with SBOM terms, provide an SBOM of the runtime production environment on request.

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.
A disclosure shown, a review signed, a model change approved: the event your system reports.
The event becomes a sealed receipt, dated and attributed to whoever is signed in.
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.
