Supply Chain Risk Management
Your security is only as strong as your vendors'. We assess and help you manage third-party and supply-chain risk, so a supplier's weakness doesn't become your breach — as headline incidents keep proving.

What this means. An authorized Solvex administrator registered and approved this exact public identity. What it does not. Solvex has not inspected the account on the platform, and this is not the platform's own verification.
Solvex specialists never ask for your passwords, recovery phrases, one-time codes, or payments to a personal account. Work, scope and invoices are agreed in writing through the official channels on this site.

Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Written scope firstAdvisory work runs to a written scope agreed before it starts, so what you receive is what was agreed.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries
What this engagement does not do, stated before it starts.
- Assessment depends on vendor cooperation and disclosure
- We advise; vendor remediation is between you and them
- Not a guarantee against all supply-chain incidents
- Advisory engagement
How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- Where do we start with so many vendors?
- We tier your suppliers by criticality and data access, then focus assessment effort on the ones that could hurt you most. Trying to assess everyone equally wastes effort.
- What do you need from us?
- A list of your third parties, what data or access each has, and any existing due-diligence records. We build a framework and assess your most critical vendors.
- Can you help with software supply-chain risk too?
- Yes — we consider software dependencies and build-pipeline risk, and can align with our DevSecOps and secure-development services for deeper technical assurance.
