Release readiness
Release readiness for regulated software depends on whether product-security work is current and explainable. Teams need a shared view of SBOMs, findings, remediation status, and evidence history before release.
Static evidence folders become stale when product versions, SBOMs, and vulnerability findings change.
Keep product-version SBOM records current.
Review findings before release gates.
Preserve the evidence used for release decisions.
Product security teams and engineering leaders need to know what is unresolved, overdue, blocked, or ready for acceptance.
Track unresolved critical and high findings.
Review SLA pressure and ownership.
Retain remediation status as evidence.
A release readiness workflow helps teams avoid assembling audit records retroactively after customer or regulatory questions arrive.
Retain uploads, review decisions, and audit history.
Support internal release review.
Prepare customer evidence without making legal overclaims.
