SBOM Generation and Supply Chain Security with Microsoft Presidio

The logs showed the breach long before anyone noticed. By then, dependencies buried deep in third-party code had already opened the door. This is why tracking every component in your software supply chain is no longer optional. Microsoft Presidio now integrates with Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) workflows to give teams clarity and control at a level that was impossible a few years ago.

An SBOM is a structured record of every library, package, and dependency in your application. With Microsoft Presidio, you can generate, manage, and audit SBOMs directly in your development pipeline. Presidio’s strength in data protection and sensitive information detection pairs naturally with SBOM generation. It identifies sensitive elements while mapping the full inventory of your codebase.

Presidio supports standardized SBOM formats like SPDX and CycloneDX, making it easy to integrate into security scanning, compliance checks, and automated CI/CD gates. By embedding SBOM creation into your build process, you get real-time insight into what your software is made of, where risks are hidden, and how to patch them fast.

This approach is critical for supply chain security. Vulnerabilities in upstream dependencies, unlicensed components, or outdated libraries can be exploited without warning. With Microsoft Presidio’s SBOM capabilities, you can link each detected piece of sensitive data to its source code location while maintaining a clear map of every dependency. This level of visibility meets strict compliance mandates such as NIST guidelines, Executive Order 14028, and industry security frameworks.

The workflow is simple:

  1. Integrate Presidio into your code scanning process.
  2. Generate an SBOM for each build.
  3. Automate checks for known vulnerabilities and license compliance.
  4. Maintain a continuous record for audits and incident response.

Presidio’s open-source foundation means you can adapt it for complex environments and scale it across repositories. Its SBOM integration turns a manual, error-prone process into a reliable, automated safeguard.

Build trust in your software supply chain. Detect sensitive data. Prove compliance. Eliminate blind spots before they cost you.
