Industry: Government & Defense
Supply Chain Provenance
Every component in a government system must have a verified origin and chain of custody. StackFactor's SHIELD enforces supply chain integrity policies across procurement and deployment pipelines, while EXCEED ensures acquisition and engineering teams understand provenance requirements under EO 14028 and NIST guidelines.
Why Supply Chains Stay Opaque
Federal systems depend on components from hundreds of vendors — most without verifiable provenance.
Unverifiable Component Origins
Teams cannot confirm where critical components came from — a single compromised part threatens national security systems.
Inconsistent Vendor Attestations
Every vendor sends provenance docs in a different format. There is no automated way to verify claims against EO 14028 or CMMC.
Continuous Audit Burden
Proving supply chain compliance across FedRAMP, CMMC, and NIST SP 800-161 simultaneously is a full-time job done manually.
From Vendor to Verified Deploy
StackFactor turns supply chain integrity into a continuous, automated control — not a point-in-time attestation.
Intake Verification
SHIELD validates component signatures and provenance metadata at intake. Unverified components are blocked from the pipeline.
SHIELDTeam Proficiency
EXCEED trains acquisition and engineering staff on NIST SP 800-161, EO 14028, and provenance verification workflows.
EXCEEDContinuous Assurance
Unified dashboards map provenance evidence to EO 14028, CMMC, and FedRAMP — audit-ready at any moment.
SHIELD + EXCEEDMultiple Roles. One Problem.
Supply chain provenance spans security, acquisition, engineering, and compliance. Each role has a different pain point, but they all need the same outcome.
CISO / Supply Chain Security
Needs verifiable proof of origin for every component entering classified networks.
Acquisition Program Manager
Must ensure all vendors meet supply chain risk management requirements.
Systems Integrator
Responsible for validating component provenance before system assembly.
Compliance Officer
Tracks adherence to EO 14028, CMMC, and FedRAMP supply chain mandates.
How SHIELD and EXCEED Work Together
Pick your role to see how the two products secure the supply chain from your perspective.
All software and hardware components must have verified provenance documentation before deployment into government systems per EO 14028.
CISO / Supply Chain Security
Perspective“Cannot verify component origins across hundreds of vendor relationships — a single compromised component threatens national security.”
SHIELDEnforces provenance verification gates at intake. Blocks unverified components from the pipeline. Maintains tamper-evident audit logs.
EXCEEDTrains security teams on supply chain threat models, provenance verification procedures, and NIST SP 800-161 requirements.
SHIELD blocks unverified components from entering government systems. EXCEED ensures every team member understands why provenance matters and how to verify it. Together, supply chain integrity is continuous, not just a point-in-time check.
