SLSA Framework: Complete Guide to Supply-Chain Levels for Software Artifacts
Understanding SLSA: The Essential Framework for Software Supply Chain Security
In today’s interconnected software ecosystem, supply chain attacks have become one of the most significant threats to organizations worldwide. From the SolarWinds incident to Log4j vulnerabilities, these attacks demonstrate the critical need for robust software supply chain security. Enter SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts) – a comprehensive framework designed to protect against supply chain compromises.
What is SLSA?
SLSA (pronounced “salsa”) is an industry-standard framework developed by Google and other tech giants to ensure the integrity of software artifacts throughout their entire lifecycle. SLSA provides a common language for describing and incrementally improving supply chain security posture through a series of levels and requirements.

The Multi-Platform Build Challenge
Modern development teams don’t use just one build platform. You might have:
- GitHub Actions for your core applications
- GitLab CI for internal tools
- Jenkins for legacy systems
- CircleCI for mobile apps
- Cloud-native builds on AWS, GCP, or Azure
Each platform generates artifacts. Each needs security attestations. But managing compliance across all of them? That’s been nearly impossible—until now.
