Assess
We map your supply chain — dependencies, pipelines, artifacts, secrets — and find the real exposure.
Supply Chain Security
Secure your software supply chain, from commit to production.
Lock down the build pipeline attackers actually target — dependencies, CI/CD, artifacts, and secrets — with practical controls that fit how your team already ships.
Overview
What is software supply chain security?
Your software supply chain is everything that goes into shipping your product: open-source dependencies, build tools, CI/CD pipelines, container images, artifacts, and the secrets that tie it together. It's also where modern attackers increasingly aim — compromising a dependency or a pipeline is far easier than breaching a hardened production system, and the blast radius is enormous.
Supply chain security is the discipline of hardening that path. We assess and lock it down end to end: dependency scanning and pinning, securing CI/CD with least-privilege and isolated runners, signing and verifying artifacts and images, managing secrets properly, and generating the SBOMs and provenance that prove what's in your software. The goal is practical, layered defence that fits how your team actually ships — not security theatre that grinds delivery to a halt.
Because we build and operate CI/CD pipelines for production systems ourselves, we secure the supply chain from the inside out — we know where the real weak points are because we work in these pipelines every day.
How we work
Our supply chain security process
02
Prioritise
Risks ranked by likelihood and blast radius, so effort goes where it actually reduces danger.
03
Harden
Dependency controls, least-privilege CI/CD, artifact signing, and secrets management put in place.
04
Verify
SBOMs, provenance, and automated scanning wired into the pipeline so security is continuous.
05
Sustain
Policies, alerts, and runbooks so the chain stays secure as dependencies and pipelines evolve.
Benefits
Why secure your supply chain
Close the easy door
Pipelines and dependencies are softer targets than production — harden where attackers actually go.
Know what's in your build
SBOMs and provenance give you a verifiable inventory of every component you ship.
Contain secrets
Proper secrets management stops leaked tokens from becoming a breach.
Catch vulnerable deps
Automated scanning flags and helps remediate vulnerable dependencies before release.
Tamper-evident artifacts
Signed, verified images and artifacts so you ship only what you built.
Practical, not paralysing
Controls that fit your delivery flow instead of stopping it.
Use cases
What we secure
Dependency hardening
Scanning, pinning, and policy for your open-source dependencies.
CI/CD hardening
Least-privilege runners, isolated builds, and protected pipelines.
Artifact & image signing
Sign and verify build outputs so nothing tampered ships.
SBOM & provenance
Generate software bills of materials and build provenance automatically.
Secrets management
Centralised, least-privilege secrets across environments and pipelines.
Continuous scanning
Automated vulnerability and secret scanning on every change.

Why Tackxel
Cloud engineering from a team that runs it in production
We secure supply chains from the inside out because we live in CI/CD pipelines — ShiftERP ships through GitHub Actions into AWS, and every product we run has a build pipeline we harden. We know where the real weak points are because we work in them daily.
Practical, layered security from senior engineers who ship — not box-ticking. 11+ products in production.

FAQ
Supply Chain Security questions, answered
Compromising a dependency or a CI/CD pipeline is often far easier than breaching hardened production — and one compromised build can reach every customer. It's high leverage for attackers, which is why it needs defending.
