SafeCipher CBOM · Cryptographic Bill of Materials
Discover and Control the Cryptography Hidden Across Your Enterprise
SafeCipher CBOM creates an evidence-led cryptographic asset inventory across certificates, source code, Windows systems, TLS, mTLS, SSH, applications and cloud key-management environments—helping teams identify classical weaknesses, understand post-quantum exposure and prioritise remediation.
- Cryptographic asset discovery
- PQC exposure
- Classical algorithm hygiene
- Certificate visibility
- TLS / mTLS
- SSH discovery

The enterprise visibility gap
You cannot govern the cryptography you cannot see
What cryptography is actually operating across your enterprise today?
Architecture diagrams, management questionnaires and generic asset inventories rarely reveal the algorithms, keys, certificates, trust relationships and protocol configurations actually deployed across applications and infrastructure.
That blind spot becomes more serious as organisations prepare for post-quantum migration, shorter certificate lifetimes, expanding cloud key-management estates and increasing regulatory scrutiny.
SafeCipher CBOM brings dispersed cryptographic evidence into one structured view
- Discover cryptographic assets and dependencies across multiple technical sources.
- Identify weak, deprecated or out-of-policy algorithms and protocols.
- Highlight RSA, ECC and other components requiring PQC migration planning.
- Expose certificate, TLS, SSH, source-code and Windows configuration risks.
- Provide prioritised findings, supporting evidence and remediation context.
Cryptographic posture at a glance
A single operational view of inventory, exposure and risk
Bring cryptographic asset discovery, PQC exposure, algorithm hygiene, certificate risk, TLS, SSH and cloud key-management findings into one evidence-led platform.
Core capabilities
From discovery to evidence-led remediation
SafeCipher CBOM is designed to support cryptographic engineering, PQC readiness, audit evidence and enterprise governance—not simply produce another uncontextualised list of metadata.
Cryptographic asset inventory
Build a structured inventory of algorithms, keys, certificates, services, configurations and dependencies.
PQC exposure discovery
Identify cryptographic components that depend on quantum-vulnerable public-key algorithms and prioritise migration.
Classical algorithm hygiene
Detect weak algorithms, deprecated protocols, inadequate key sizes and out-of-policy cryptographic use.
Certificate visibility
Inspect certificate lifetimes, issuers, trust stores, key strength and expiry risks across supported sources.
TLS and mTLS analysis
Assess protocol versions, cipher exposure, certificate configuration and cryptographic posture across services.
SSH discovery
Inventory SSH algorithms, key exchange, host-key posture and configurations across supported systems.
Source-code cryptography
Locate cryptographic libraries, algorithms and implementation patterns within selected repositories and folders.
Windows and cloud visibility
Assess Windows certificate stores, Schannel posture and supported cloud key-vault or KMS environments.
Discover · Correlate · Act
Turn distributed technical signals into a Cryptographic Bill of Materials
SafeCipher CBOM is designed to ingest evidence from multiple technical sources, normalise it into an authoritative inventory and produce findings that can support engineering decisions, audit evidence and remediation planning.
Why SafeCipher CBOM
Cryptographic engineering context—not another generic inventory tool
A list of artefacts is not enough. Organisations need to understand what the cryptography supports, whether it is appropriate, how it affects business risk and what should be remediated first.
Built by cryptography specialists
The platform is shaped by hands-on PKI, HSM, key-management, cloud and regulated-industry experience.
Evidence-led and vendor-neutral
Findings are intended to be inspectable, exportable and usable across engineering, risk, audit and governance teams.
PQC plus today’s operational risk
PQC readiness is assessed alongside certificate, algorithm, TLS, SSH and configuration hygiene already affecting the estate.
Evaluation and adoption options
Choose the right starting point for your organisation
Start with a product demonstration, a controlled guided evaluation or a wider enterprise pilot. Scope and availability are agreed with SafeCipher before deployment.
CBOM Demonstration
Approximately 30–45 minutes
See the product workflow, dashboard, evidence model and representative findings.
- Product walkthrough
- Example inventory and findings
- PQC and hygiene discussion
- Evaluation suitability review
Guided Limited Evaluation
Typically 14–21 days
A controlled evaluation against an agreed test or non-production scope.
- Defined endpoints, repositories or services
- Installation and onboarding guidance
- Controlled discovery scans
- Findings-review session
- Evaluation summary and feedback
Enterprise Pilot
Typically 4–8 weeks
A broader representative scope for organisations planning a production CBOM capability.
- Multiple discovery sources
- Representative business-unit scope
- Technical workshops
- PQC and hygiene risk analysis
- Deployment and remediation roadmap
The evaluation programme is limited and subject to technical suitability, agreed scope, licensing terms and availability. Commercial production use requires a separate agreement.
Controlled enterprise evaluation
Designed to support a safe and clearly bounded assessment
Evaluation boundaries are agreed before installation so that participating organisations understand the scope, data handling and expected outputs.
What an evaluation can provide
- Cryptographic asset inventory for the agreed scope
- PQC-exposure summary
- Classical algorithm-hygiene findings
- Certificate, protocol and configuration risks
- Evidence-backed findings and exports
- Prioritised remediation recommendations
- Findings-review workshop
- Optional enterprise deployment roadmap
Who the programme is designed for
- Financial services and regulated enterprises
- Critical infrastructure and industrial / OT organisations
- Government, defence and security-sensitive suppliers
- Pharmaceutical and healthcare organisations
- Large enterprises with fragmented PKI, KMS or certificate estates
- Teams beginning PQC discovery or crypto-agility programmes
- Security, architecture, PKI, infrastructure, audit and risk teams
Backed by SafeCipher’s enterprise cryptography experience
SafeCipher is a vendor-neutral cryptography consultancy with more than 24 years of PKI and cryptographic engineering experience across finance, technology, government, healthcare, industrial and security-sensitive environments. SafeCipher is a member of the PKI Consortium.
Frequently asked questions
Understanding the SafeCipher CBOM evaluation
What is a Cryptographic Bill of Materials?
A CBOM is a structured inventory of cryptographic assets and dependencies, including algorithms, keys, certificates, protocols, libraries and the systems or applications in which they are used.
Is SafeCipher CBOM only a post-quantum discovery tool?
No. PQC exposure is a major capability, but the platform is also designed to identify classical cryptographic hygiene issues such as weak algorithms, legacy protocols, inadequate key sizes, certificate risks and out-of-policy configurations.
Does the evaluation need access to production?
Not necessarily. A guided evaluation is normally scoped to an agreed test, non-production or otherwise controlled environment. Wider production discovery should be considered through an appropriately governed enterprise pilot.
Does SafeCipher CBOM collect private keys?
Standard discovery is designed to identify cryptographic metadata and evidence without collecting or exporting private-key material. The exact scan behaviour and permitted data sources are confirmed during onboarding.
What happens after the evaluation?
SafeCipher reviews the findings with your technical stakeholders and can discuss production deployment, additional integrations, an enterprise pilot or a wider cryptographic discovery and remediation programme.
