Interlynk vs ReARM

Interlynk manages software bills of materials (SBOMs) for regulated software and devices. Its platform generates, ingests, enriches, monitors, and shares SBOMs, with workflows for open-source risk, suppliers, and embedded C/C++ firmware. The lynkctl generator supports IAR, GCC, or CMake builds. Component monitoring covers newly disclosed vulnerabilities, and teams can use VEX dispositions to filter findings that do not apply. Open-source risk management includes license obligations, known vulnerabilities, and maintenance status. Components are matched against NVD, GitHub Security Advisories, and OSV, then enriched with EPSS, CISA KEV, and CWE. Suppliers can submit CycloneDX or SPDX SBOMs through secure links without an account; links last 24 hours and renew when clicked after expiry. Integrations named include GitHub, GitLab, Jira, and Slack; a GraphQL API supports integration and workflow automation. The free Community Tier includes API access and alerts for policy failures and vulnerability disclosures. Interlynk says it supports work under FDA 524B, EU CRA, NIS2, DORA, and PCI DSS 4.0.

ReARM is a release governance platform for organizing software composition, security findings, approvals, and evidence around what ships. It versions SBOMs and XBOMs by product, component, and release, with dependency comparisons across versions and search across a portfolio. Releases can retain HBOMs, VEX, VDR, BOV, SARIF, signatures, attestations, and build metadata for 10+ years. Reliza BEAR adds supplier, copyright, and license metadata to SBOMs. ReARM gathers vulnerabilities, weaknesses, policy violations, and license violations from Dependency-Track and other tools for triage and audit. Release policies can check releases automatically and support manual or automated approvals, recording approver identity, timestamp, and an evidence snapshot in an immutable audit trail. It connects with tools including GitHub Actions, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Sentinel, and Dependency-Track. ReARM Community Edition is self-hosted under AGPL 3.0 and can store and version BOMs without Dependency-Track; vulnerability scanning and policy findings require Dependency-Track or imported VDR files. External deployments require TLS. A free plan is available; paid plans start at $195/mo, and a 60-day trial is listed.
