CleanStart, a global leader in hardened, compliance-ready container images, recently announced the global availability of their SBOM Analyzer, an advanced tool that generates complete, CERT-In and CISA-compliant Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) for container images. The analyzer delivers unmatched visibility into software components and dependencies, empowering organizations to proactively secure their software supply chains before deployment.
Integrated natively within CleanStart’s platform, the SBOM Analyzer provides deeper component discovery, comprehensive dependency mapping, and automatic data maintenance as part of the company’s regular image refresh cycle.
“With the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and CERT-In emphasizing the need for robust software transparency frameworks under their latest ‘Technical Guidelines on SBOM, QBOM, CBOM, AIBOM and HBOM – Version 2.0’, enterprises in India are recognizing the criticality of maintaining accurate and verifiable SBOMs,” said Vijendra Katiyar, Co-founder & Chief Revenue Office, CleanStart. “Our Analyzer simplifies this process by embedding compliance at the image level helping developers and CISOs meet national and international standards without adding friction to development workflows.”
CleanStart’s SBOM Analyzer is designed in line with global and national mandates, including CERT-In’s 2025 guidelines, which define how software and hardware components must be catalogued to ensure cybersecurity traceability and supply chain resilience. The Analyzer goes beyond these baseline requirements, incorporating enriched metadata such as timestamps, author information, and provenance for stronger validation and audit readiness.
Extending this foundation, CleanStart has also introduced a new AI-SBOM module, which analyzes large language model components used in enterprise AI applications, uncovering dependencies and potential vulnerabilities that traditional scanners often overlook.
The SBOM Analyzer automatically maps every component and dependency within container images and maintains them as part of CleanStart’s 24-hour image refresh cycle, ensuring each SBOM remains accurate, verifiable, and always up to date.
