ISV On-boarding

The first step in the onboarding process is to submit a brief online registration form via a secure, self-service portal, which allows you to establish a user account and download the Solutions Factory Inventory Manager tool (as well as SpikeSource reference stacks). The Inventory Manager identifies all of the specific components on which your solution depends. Through the secure portal, you then upload your inventory assessment results to the SpikeSource Solutions Factory.

The Solutions Factory stores the inventory results and scans your components for potential security vulnerabilities. The security scan is performed against a comprehensive database of all known security vulnerabilities.

Via an automated alerting service, you receive a detailed report of the security analysis results, indicating any known vulnerabilities (and associated severity level) in your solution’s underlying components, as well as any associated security updates for those components. This process allows you to address any security issues that have been identified, upload new inventory results, and re-scan your updated results to ensure all critical vulnerabilities have been resolved.

Following successful completion of the security analysis, you can move to the integration and testing phase.
