Use cases

One evidence workflow, different operating needs.

Solutions are framed around the people who need to act, review, prove, or explain product-security work.

Product security teams

Findings, SBOMs, and remediation decisions live across different tools.

Need: Prioritized findings, SLA pressure, and review context.

Helps: Centralizes product-version review state and evidence history.

Evidence-backed vulnerability handling records.

Compliance teams

Audit evidence goes stale when it is collected after the work is done.

Need: Current SBOMs, decisions, activity, and product-version history.

Helps: Keeps evidence attached to the workflow as reviews happen.

Review-ready records for internal and external requests.

Engineering/platform leaders

Ownership and release risk are hard to see when security work is fragmented.

Need: What changed, what is blocked, and what needs action before release.

Helps: Surfaces remediation pressure, owners, and operational health.

A shared release-readiness view.

Software manufacturers

Product-security records must stay understandable across product lines, suppliers, and applicable importer or distributor handoffs.

Need: Product-version evidence, vulnerability state, and retained artifacts.

Helps: Organizes SBOM and review history without making legal determinations.

Continuity across product evidence records.

Internal reviewers and auditors

Reviewers lose time chasing spreadsheets, uploads, and decision notes.

Need: Traceable artifacts, review decisions, and audit activity.

Helps: Presents retained history in a consistent evidence workflow.

A clearer path from product version to audit trail.

Shared view

Security, compliance, and engineering work from the same product-version evidence record.

Role clarity

Each team sees the decisions, pressure, and outputs they are responsible for.

Review output

Artifacts, decisions, and activity stay connected to product versions over time.

Next step

Start with one product line.

Map one SBOM, one vulnerability review workflow, and one evidence history into CRA Ledger.
