# SBOM management

Use Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) to import, manage, and analyze third-party software. Third parties include vendors, partners, and suppliers.

{% hint style="info" %}
*This feature is only available for our* [*SCA Enterprise*](https://debricked.com/pricing/) *users. Already have an account?* [*Click here to upgrade.*](https://debricked.com/app/en/repositories?billingModal=enterprise,free)
{% endhint %}

Each organization can upload up to 15 SBOMs. The option to increase this quota will be available in a future release.

### About SBOMs

An SBOM is a structured inventory of the components in a software project. It can include component names, versions, relationships, licenses, and vulnerability data. Use the available tabs to review specific data:

* **All** tab: Lists all imported SBOMs.&#x20;
* **Dependencies** tab: Shows component details.
* **Vulnerabilities** tab: Shows identified security issues.
* **Malware** tab: Shows findings.
* **Licenses** tab: Shows license information.

Use **Search by name** to locate an SBOM. Select **Import** to add an SBOM.

### Compare SBOMs with repository scanning

SBOM analysis examines supplied software inventory. Repository scanning analyzed source code and supported manifest files.

Repository scanning discovers dependencies; SBOM analysis uses data in the uploaded file.

Fortify SCA enriches imported components when identifiers are available, for example, Package URLs.

### Common use cases

Use SBOMs to:

* Review a supplier's SBOM before onboarding software.
* Verify that components meet your license policies.
* Track vulnerabilities in third-party software.
* Identify supplied software affected by malware.

### Known limitations

The quality of analysis depends on the uploaded SBOM.

* Missing data can reduce dependency, vulnerability, and license visibility.
* Fortify SCA does not analyze supplied source code.
* Results rely on uploaded data and available component enrichment.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.debricked.com/product/sbom-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
