Madrid, Spain — SCANOSS is partnering with Frontier, Glasgow-based platform engineering company working with some of the UK’s most heavily regulated enterprises, to help organisations integrate continuous software transparency into modern enterprise delivery platforms.
For enterprises operating in financial services, telecoms, and energy, the challenge is rarely generating software supply chain data itself. The harder problem is integrating scanning, policy enforcement, and remediation workflows into live delivery platforms without disrupting uptime, auditability, or existing engineering controls. Frontier has built its reputation helping organisations adopt and optimise Kubernetes, cloud, automation, and platform engineering practices in environments where operational resilience, governance, and FinOps all matter simultaneously.
Together, Frontier and SCANOSS are integrating software transparency into the Kubernetes, CI/CD, and policy automation platforms enterprises already operate, allowing regulated organisations to continuously generate, govern, and evidence SBOM and CBOM data within established engineering workflows.
Rather than treating software transparency as a periodic compliance exercise, the partnership aims to make open source and cryptographic visibility part of day-to-day engineering operations, generated continuously through existing pipelines, governed through existing policy controls, and reviewed by accountable platform and security teams.
“Most regulated customers don’t need another standalone scanning tool. They need the software supply chain intelligence they already trust to integrate directly into the delivery platforms, pipelines, and policy controls they operate every day. Frontier’s engineering approach makes that integration practical and operational at enterprise scale.”
Charles Facey, Partner Sales Manager, SCANOSS
“Frontier works with organisations where resilience, governance, and operational predictability are critical. Integrating software transparency into existing Kubernetes, cloud, and automation platforms allows customers to strengthen software supply chain visibility without introducing unnecessary operational complexity”
Olivia Jones, Head of Go To Market, Frontier
The timing also reflects increasing regulatory focus on software supply chain resilience. The UK’s Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, introduced in November 2025 and currently progressing through Parliament, is expected to strengthen obligations around operational resilience and third-party risk management for operators of essential services and their suppliers. At the same time, the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) continues to shape expectations for financial institutions operating across UK and European markets.
For many regulated enterprises, continuous visibility and evidence collection across software supply chains is becoming an increasingly important operational capability.
Frontier brings local delivery capability, UK incorporation, and an engineering-led integration approach, including procurement access through the Crown Commercial Services G-Cloud 14 framework for public sector organisations. SCANOSS provides the SCANOSS KB, datasets, and scanning engine as the underlying open source and cryptographic intelligence layer, designed to integrate alongside the DevSecOps and platform engineering tooling already used by Frontier customers.
Together, SCANOSS and Frontier aim to help regulated enterprises build continuous software transparency directly into the platforms they already operate, integrating software supply chain visibility into normal engineering workflows rather than bolting it on as a separate compliance activity.
About SCANOSS
SCANOSS provides deep visibility into the software supply chain, powered by the SCANOSS KB, to help organisations detect undeclared open source. SCANOSS is designed to integrate into existing developer and DevSecOps workflows, making software transparency part of everyday engineering practice.
