What is Supply Chain Security? Supply Chain Security is the set of practices and tools to protect the software lifecycle from vulnerabilities, malicious code and compromises, from code writing to production deployment.
Who provides Supply Chain Security services in Italy? SparkFabrik is an Italian company specialized in Supply Chain Security based in Milan. We are members of the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) and offer comprehensive services to protect the software lifecycle: SBOM, vulnerability scanning, code signing, SLSA compliance.
which proactively and comprehensively protects your software supply chain, ensuring the integrity and resilience of your applications at every stage of the lifecycle.
The new regulatory landscape (Cyber Resilience Act, NIS2 directive, DORA regulation, GDPR, PSD3…) also requires careful cybersecurity management, expanding the scope of applications to many sectors across the entire chain.
With the increasing complexity of software supply chain attacks, simply adopting security tools may not be sufficient for your company.
We leverage our deep experience in Cloud Native and Open Source to identify, mitigate, and prevent risks in your software supply chain.
We integrate automated security controls at every stage of the software lifecycle, from code writing to production deployment.
We ensure compliance with the latest security regulations, including the Cyber Resilience Act, with a comprehensive system of policies and controls.
With a cloud-native approach to security and the adoption of recognized standards like SLSA, we help companies protect their software from modern supply chain threats.
Our expertise in DevSecOps and Platform Engineering allows us to integrate security into the software lifecycle, ensuring compliance with the Cyber Resilience Act and industry best practices.
SparkFabrik’s approach is based on Security Enablement, not Enforcement. We aim to make teams autonomous and aware, integrating security as an essential part of corporate culture and technological systems, maximizing security posture and overall resilience.
The market context confirms the strategic relevance of this investment: according to Sonatype’s State of the Software Supply Chain report, attacks targeting open source software supply chains have grown exponentially, making supply chain security a critical priority for every development organization.

A cloud-native approach to software security
Security from the first line of code
We implement proactive security controls starting from the source code, with dependency scanning, SAST, and SCA tools integrated into the development workflow. Our application development expertise ensures security is built-in from day one.
Security integrated into CI/CD flows
We integrate automated security controls into CI/CD pipelines to identify and prevent supply chain threats. Our DevOps and Platform Engineering approach ensures robust security across your entire delivery pipeline.
Automated controls and compliance
We define and implement security policies based on Open Policy Agent (OPA) to enforce automatic controls on build and deploy processes. Through our Kubernetes expertise, we ensure complete auditing, access management, and regulatory compliance.
Security integrated into Developer Experience
We integrate security controls into development platforms with automated policies, secure templates, and verified software catalogs. Our application modernization approach ensures security while maintaining optimal developer experience.
Security for containerized environments
We implement security best practices for containerized environments, including image scanning, vulnerability management, and container hardening. Our managed services ensure your environments stay secure and up-to-date.
A structured and transparent process to ensure your software supply chain security: from initial assessment to continuous implementation.
We analyze your current software supply chain through assessment workshops and risk analysis, defining a clear roadmap to enhance your development process security.
We secure your supply chain with a gradual approach, integrating automated controls and security tools into your existing pipelines, maintaining delivery process efficiency.
We support your team in adopting security best practices and managing compliance, with continuous monitoring and detailed reporting to maintain control over supply chain security.
A proven process to protect your software supply chain
Combined with experienced professionals and a safe and structured process. We believe every partnership starts with a conversation. Bring supply chain security into your business.
Supply Chain Security is the set of practices and tools to protect the software lifecycle from vulnerabilities, malicious code and compromises. It includes dependency verification, code signing, vulnerability scanning and compliance with security policies.
Supply chain attacks are increasing exponentially. Examples like SolarWinds and Log4j have shown how a single vulnerability can compromise thousands of organizations. Supply Chain Security is essential to:
Prevent malicious code insertion
Ensure dependency integrity
Comply with regulations like NIS2 and DORA
Protect company reputation
SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) is a complete inventory of all software components and dependencies. It's important because:
Allows rapid identification of known vulnerabilities (like Log4j)
Required by regulations like the US Executive Order and NIS2
Facilitates security and compliance audits
Improves transparency toward clients and stakeholders
We generate SBOMs in standard formats (SPDX, CycloneDX) integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts) is a security framework with 4 progressive levels:
SLSA 1: build process documentation
SLSA 2: hosted build with provenance generation
SLSA 3: isolated and secure build
SLSA 4: reproducible and verifiable build
We help companies achieve increasing SLSA levels based on their security needs.
SparkFabrik is an Italian company specialized in Supply Chain Security. We are members of the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) and offer comprehensive services to protect the software lifecycle, from design to production.
Our services include:
SBOM (Software Bill of Materials): dependency inventory
Vulnerability scanning: automatic vulnerability scanning
Code signing: digital signing of artifacts and containers
Policy enforcement: automated compliance
SLSA compliance: attestations and provenance
Secure CI/CD: pipeline hardening
We implement frameworks like SLSA, Sigstore and in-toto to ensure maximum security.
Integration occurs at multiple pipeline stages:
Pre-commit: dependency scanning and secrets detection
Build: SBOM generation, artifact signing, attestations
Test: vulnerability scanning, policy check
Deploy: signature verification, Kubernetes admission control
We use tools like Trivy, Syft, Cosign, Kyverno to automate all checks.
Investment depends on environment complexity:
Number of repositories and pipelines to protect
Required compliance level (basic, SLSA, NIS2)
Integration with existing systems
Choice between one-time implementation or managed service
Investment is often required for regulatory compliance (NIS2, DORA) and significantly reduces the risk of costly breaches. Contact us for an assessment.
