| --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :-: | :-: | :-: |
| 7.1 | Utilize Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools to identify and remediate known vulnerabilities within third-party components used in LLM-powered applications. |     |  ✓  |  ✓  |
| 7.2 | Ensure that all third-party LLM components are acquired from a trusted source.                                                                                    |  ✓  |  ✓  |  ✓  |
| 7.3 | Ensure a defined vulnerability and patch management process exists for third-party components.                                                                    |     |  ✓  |  ✓  |
| 7.4 | Ensure that a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) exists cataloging third-party components, licenses, and versions.                                                 |     |  ✓  |  ✓  |
| 7.5 | Where unsafe PyTorch models are required, ensure the model is scanned for potentially dangerous Python imports.                                                   |     |  ✓  |  ✓  |
| 7.6 | When hosting LLM components within private package registries, ensure the setup is not susceptible to Dependency Confusion attacks.                               |     |  ✓  |  ✓  |
