Operationalize Trust

Documentation for CycloneDX Assessors Studio, the open source platform that turns compliance checklists into verifiable attestations.

Assessors Studio was built for three organizational audiences. Every feature supports at least one of them, and most organizations find they are more than one at the same time.

Self-assessors

Organizations that want to assess themselves and measure their security and compliance maturity over time. Internal security, compliance, and privacy teams. Start with Your first assessment.

Third-party assessors

Organizations and individuals that perform assessments on behalf of others. Auditors, qualified assessors, vendor risk teams, and consultants whose deliverable is a signed attestation. Start with Assessments.

Supply chain consumers

Consumers who want machine verifiable attestations from their vendors rather than static PDFs. Buyers who evaluate many suppliers and want to automate the repetitive parts. Start with Who it is for.

Assessors Studio is an open source platform, sponsored by OWASP, that operationalizes the CycloneDX Attestations standard. It gives producers, assessors, and regulators a shared workspace for planning an assessment, collecting the evidence that proves or disproves each claim, and exchanging the result as a machine verifiable attestation.

The documentation you are reading is organized around real tasks. Start with the Introduction for background on the standard and the platform, then jump into the section that matches your job.
