NAESAD (North American Energy Software Assurance Database) is a shared database platform designed to support SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) analysis for critical infrastructure, government entities, and vendors. It provides access to a repository of over 15,000 SBOMs and enables organizations to assess software and hardware product security risks across the procurement, onboarding, and operational phases of the product lifecycle. The platform performs risk analysis at the product and component level, identifying vulnerabilities, foreign influence risks (including FOCI — Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence), pre-procurement and deployment risks, and compliance violations. NAESAD operates as a data exchange model, where vendor assessments are shared across participating organizations to eliminate redundant evaluations, reducing assessment time from months to seconds and lowering costs by over 50%. Key capabilities include: - Access to 15,000+ pre-vetted SBOMs on demand - AI-powered translation of technical risks into accessible terms - Component-level vulnerability identification for prioritized remediation - Deployment guidance and risk mitigation recommendations - Supplier engagement and outreach workflows - Compliance and regulatory workflow management - Integration with existing tools and on-premises deployment options - Incident response support via vendor updates during security events NAESAD is positioned for use by procurement professionals, risk and compliance teams, and security teams — particularly in the energy sector and critical infrastructure industries, as well as defense and government organizations.
