Trusted & Transparent

Risk scores you can trust

BOMShield scores supply chain risk using only trusted, publicly verifiable data, government sanctions registers and academic conflict datasets. No black box, no proprietary guesswork on the data that matters most.

Where Our Data Comes From

Authoritative open sources

Every geopolitical risk signal traces back to an official government register or a peer-reviewed academic dataset, not opaque third-party intelligence.

Manufacturer Atlas
BOMShield curated database
Maps each component manufacturer to its headquarters and known fabrication sites, the foundation of country-level scoring.
Curated

Five dimensions of risk

Each component is evaluated across five independent dimensions, then combined into a single, easy-to-read score from 0 to 100.

🌍

Country Exposure

Where the manufacturer is headquartered and where its parts are fabricated, including concentration in higher-risk regions.

🚢

Shipping Routes

Whether a component's supply route depends on maritime chokepoints currently disrupted or under threat.

⚠

Active Conflicts

The intensity of armed conflict in the countries involved in producing and shipping the component.

🛡

Sanctions & Controls

Whether the manufacturer or its country appears on active sanctions or export-control lists.

⚡

Energy & Freight

How current energy markets are pushing up shipping costs and stretching lead times across the supply chain.

🔄

Dated & traceable

Sources are refreshed periodically (today on a manual, documented cadence) and every report is stamped with the last-updated date, so you always know how current the data is. Automated refresh is on the roadmap.

Honest About What We Do

Transparency & limitations

A risk screening tool is only useful if you know exactly what it can and can't tell you.

✓ What we score with confidence

Country-level geopolitical risk, sanctions exposure, shipping route disruptions, and energy-driven freight pressure, all grounded in authoritative government and academic data.

≈ What we estimate

On the free tier, component lifecycle, stock, and lead times are heuristic estimates, clearly labeled as such. Live distributor data is available on paid plans.

, What we don't claim

BOMShield is a screening tool, not legal advice. It doesn't replace formal export-compliance review or part-level ITAR/EAR classification. Always confirm with qualified counsel.
