The renewal hinges on evidence for images already running, not on a new deployment.
The CISO needs an auditable record of what entered production, while the platform leader needs releases to continue.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Audit asked me which SBOM covered a live service, and I had three exports open with no clean answer.”
Adrian Dimitriou · Platform Security Engineer
Owns image controls for the customer’s Kubernetes platform and must answer audit questions about production workloads.
What is at stake
A financial-services customer may not renew because 5% of in-scope running images lack traceable evidence. You have to weigh an auditable recovery commitment against the customer’s need to keep releases moving.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- audit confidence vs release continuity
- renewal timing vs verified evidence
- customer commitment vs product certainty
- narrow investigation vs portfolio-level recovery
