# Suppliers & Licenses
SBOM360 analyses the software suppliers, licenses, and presents them all within your SBOM project at both the SBOM and component level. To ensure supply chain security, it is important for you to carefully vet your suppliers and conduct thorough security assessments of the software they provide. Licensing information can helps ensure that the software is compliant with open-source, private, and third-party licensing requirements.
### Understanding Suppliers & Licenses
