From software analysis to the Cyber Resilience Act: How Curator Pro connects security and compliance throughout the entire product lifecycle.
Companies that develop software or integrate it into their products are responsible for its security — including the open-source and third-party components they use. Yet with every new library, supplier, and release, complexity increases.
Which software components are actually included in the product? Where do relevant vulnerabilities and real security risks exist? Organizations also need to determine which licensing obligations must be met and how compliance with regulatory requirements can be reliably demonstrated.
Curator Pro by Bitsea brings together software analysis, SBOM management, vulnerability management, open-source compliance, and CRA compliance evidence in one centralized platform. What makes it different: Technical findings are transformed into traceable decisions that can be reused across products and releases.
More Than an SBOM: Know What Is Really Inside Your Software
A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) provides transparency into the components used in a software product. But an SBOM is only as reliable as the information it is based on.
That is why Curator Pro goes beyond simply managing component inventories. The platform Users multi-factor component identifikation: It imports and validates SBOMs in established formats such as SPDX and CycloneDX, integrates supplier SBOMs, and supports the analysis of source code, dependencies, licenses, copyright information, and code snippets. Indicators as URLs, embedded emails, search terms, file names and path help additionally to identify 3rd party artefacts.
AI generated code, Container images and Linux packages can also be analyzed. This makes it possible to identify risks even in complex or historically grown software environments that dependency analysis alone might overlook.
The added value: High precision SBOMs. Companies gain more than a list of components. They get a more reliable foundation for security assessments, licensing decisions, and compliance evidence.
Review Once, Benefit Long Term
One of Curator Pro’s key strengths is the ability to reuse assessment knowledge.
In many organizations, the same open-source components are used across numerous products and versions. Nevertheless, license assessments, component identifications, and vulnerability decisions often have to be repeated multiple times.
Curator Pro stores these decisions in centralized knowledge bases and makes them available for reuse across additional products and releases.
Reviewed once means you do not have to start from scratch with every release.
This reduces repetitive assessment work, enables more consistent evaluations, and makes software compliance more efficient as the product portfolio grows. Valuable expert knowledge is retained instead of being lost in individual projects or spreadsheets.
Prioritize Real Risks Instead of Counting Vulnerabilities
Not every known vulnerability is equally critical for every product. A high CVSS score alone does not answer whether a component is actually affected or how urgently action needs to be taken.
Curator Pro therefore combines different types of security information: technical severity scores (CVSS), known active exploitation (CISA KEV), exploitation probability (EPSS), maintenance status (End-of-Life), as well as product-specific assessments and VEX information.
Internally identified vulnerabilities can also be documented and assessed using individual risk evaluations.
This transforms a large volume of technical alerts into a prioritized and traceable basis for decision-making for development teams, product security, and management.
CRA Compliance: From Evidence to an Integrated Process
With the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), continuous product security becomes a key obligation for manufacturers. Since September 11, 2026, reporting obligations have already applied to certain actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe security incidents. The main CRA requirements will become applicable from December 11, 2027.
Curator Pro helps companies systematically integrate these requirements into their processes.
The platform links CRA controls with products, software components, security assessments, and specific evidence. It supports the preparation of regulatory reports, monitors relevant deadlines, and maintains audit-ready records of decisions and actions.
Curator Pro also supports the creation and publication of machine-readable security advisories in CSAF format.
This turns CRA compliance from a one-time documentation exercise into a continuous, traceable process — from development and release through to the ongoing support of products already delivered to customers.
Integrate Into Existing Processes — Without Rebuilding Everything
Curator Pro does not have to replace existing tools. Results from established scanners and analysis tools can be imported and enhanced with curation, risk assessment, and compliance processes.
REST APIs, CI/CD integrations, and Jira make it possible to incorporate assessments and remediation activities into existing development workflows. The AI assistant Kurt can also support teams in analyzing and interpreting available information.
Companies also retain control over how the platform is operated. Curator Pro is developed in Germany and can be self-hosted, hosted in German data centers, or deployed in particularly sensitive environments without a direct internet connection. AI assistance is optional and can also be used with locally hosted models.
One Platform, One End-to-End Process
The real strength of Curator Pro lies not in any single feature, but in connecting all relevant information and decisions.
From identifying a software component and assessing its licenses and vulnerabilities to remediation, approval, and regulatory documentation, Curator Pro creates one continuous process.
Development, product security, open-source compliance, and management work from a shared information base. Decisions remain traceable, evidence remains available, and completed assessments can be reused.
Curator Pro transforms isolated analysis results into actionable knowledge — and regulatory requirements into manageable processes.
Conclusion: Bringing Software Supply Chain Security and CRA Compliance Together
Software supply chains cannot be secured through additional scanners or checklists alone. What matters is turning technical findings into informed decisions and continuous processes.
This is exactly where Curator Pro comes in: with in-depth software analysis, reusable assessment knowledge, risk-based vulnerability management, and integrated CRA compliance evidence.
