ICT REGISTER · CRYPTOGRAPHIC INVENTORY · CBOM

See cryptography. Understand risk. Prove controlled change.

SYNRION connects assets, applications, certificates, keys and trust relationships in one current operating view. This creates traceable technical evidence for DORA, NIS2, PCI DSS and BSI-oriented controls without replacing the organization’s formal compliance assessment.

THE OPERATING CONTEXT

An inventory lists objects. It does not yet explain their operational impact.

Teams often maintain ICT assets, certificates, keys, applications, suppliers and evidence in separate systems. That makes simple questions difficult: Where is cryptography used? Which service depends on it? Does it meet policy? Who owns the decision? SYNRION correlates this technical and organizational context so that deviations and required action become visible.

A current and traceable view of assets, cryptography and controlled change.

CLEAR TERMS

Four terms answer four different questions.

The terms are often used together, but they describe different inventories and responsibilities. SYNRION connects their technical evidence without blurring their meaning.

Connected assets and cryptographic objects converge through a controlled loop into structured technical evidence.
A CBOM shows which cryptography exists. SYNRION shows where it is used, whether it meets policy and how it is changed under control.
01

Which systems and components support the organization?

ICT asset register

An ICT asset register records systems, endpoints, applications, owners and dependencies. It is the operational foundation for understanding where cryptographic controls matter.
02

Which contractual ICT third-party arrangements exist?

DORA Register of Information

The DORA Register of Information is a distinct register for ICT third-party contractual arrangements. SYNRION can provide technical asset and dependency context, but it does not replace this contractual register.
03

Which algorithms, keys, certificates and trust relationships are in use?

Cryptographic inventory / crypto register

A cryptographic inventory, also described as a crypto register or crypto catalogue, records cryptographic objects and their use. BSI-oriented cryptographic concepts use the term Krypto-Kataster for this structured view.
04

How can cryptographic components be exchanged in machine-readable form?

CBOM

A Cryptographic Bill of Materials structures cryptographic components for exchange and analysis. SYNRION provides machine-readable CBOM data through its API and adds live endpoint, application, policy and change context.

A CONTROLLABLE RESULT

Turn inventory data into decisions and evidence.

The useful result is not another static list. It is a current relationship model that connects technical state, responsibility and controlled action.

01

Current inventory

Assets, applications, certificates, keys, algorithms and trust chains remain connected to their observed state.

02

Operational context

Bindings, owners, dependencies and business relevance explain where cryptographic objects are actually used.

03

Controlled remediation

Policy deviations lead to traceable renewal, replacement, migration or documented exception handling.

04

Evidence on demand

Dashboards, reports and API exports make current state and completed change retrievable without rebuilding the story for every audit.

THE APPROACH

Five steps keep the evidence connected to reality.

Discovery only becomes useful when every observation can be correlated, assessed, changed and verified again.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Collect reachable assets, identities, certificates, keys, algorithms and trust relationships from connected sources.

  2. 02

    Correlate

    Connect technical objects to endpoints, applications, directories, owners and dependent services.

  3. 03

    Assess

    Compare observed state with policy, security baselines, expiry, exposure and the organization’s defined scope.

  4. 04

    Control

    Use SYNRION x.BIND workflows to renew, replace or rebind cryptographic services in a controlled way.

  5. 05

    Prove

    Verify the new state continuously and provide current dashboards, reports and machine-readable exports.

FRAMEWORKS & RESPONSIBILITY

Technical evidence for concrete regulatory contexts.

SYNRION supports the data, controls and traceability that responsible teams need. Compliance itself remains an organizational and, where applicable, assessor decision.

01

DORA

Connect ICT-supported functions, assets, dependencies and technical state so that risk decisions are based on current evidence.

02

NIS2

Support risk-management evidence with visible cryptographic state, deviations, ownership and completed treatment.

03

PCI DSS

Reveal certificates, keys, systems and dependencies that may affect cardholder-data scope, and highlight baseline deviations.

04

BSI cryptographic guidance

Support a current Krypto-Kataster, X.509 security baselines and traceable remediation of policy deviations.

THE RIGHT FIT

For teams that must explain both cryptography and responsibility.

The model supports security, PKI, infrastructure, risk and audit teams when evidence spans many systems and owners.

01

ICT risk and DORA

Relate ICT-supported functions, assets, dependencies and technical state while keeping the separate third-party Register of Information distinct.

02

NIS2 and BSI controls

Make cryptographic policy, inventory, deviations and implemented risk treatment easier to understand and demonstrate.

03

PCI DSS scoping

Identify technical scope candidates, dependencies and inconsistencies that the responsible organization and assessor can evaluate.

04

Crypto agility

Find affected services, automate controlled change and verify convergence before an algorithm or policy deadline becomes operational risk.

THE NEXT CONTROLLED STEP

Start with the evidence question that is hardest to answer today.

We map the relevant assets, cryptography, scope and responsibility, then define a focused first implementation step.
