ProvenChain™ — Cyber Supply Chain Provenance & Risk Management
Verifiable Trust for Every Component. Provenance Secured by Blockchain.
Overview
Modern enterprises depend on thousands of third-party software, hardware, and cloud providers.
Each supplier adds value — but also risk.
ProvenChain™, developed by RCS Group, is a next generation blockchain platform for cyber supply chain provenance and risk management.
Built on U.S. Department of Energy–funded CREDC research and validated through the IEEE- published CySCPro framework, ProvenChain™ delivers verifiable authenticity, traceability, and cybersecurity assurance across every layer of your supply chain — from firmware to cloud service.
Why ProvenChain™
| Challenge | ProvenChain™ Solution |
|---|---|
| Counterfeit or tampered components | Immutable blockchain ledger verifying digital integrity via cryptographic hashes |
| Complex, opaque vendor ecosystems | Permissioned blockchain with self-sovereign identities and smart contracts |
| Regulatory pressure & audit fatigue | Pre-mapped compliance to HIPAA, FFIEC, ISO 27001, NERC-CIP, and CMMC 2.0 |
| Vendor patch or vulnerability blind spots | Real-time CVE/NVD monitoring with automated patch verification |
| Supplier onboarding and trust issues | Game-theoretic incentive model and verifiable vendor reputation scoring |
Key Capabilities
Blockchain-Secured Provenance
Every hardware, software, and firmware asset is assigned a verifiable digital signature and tracked through the ProvenChain™ ledger — ensuring authenticity from origin to deployment.
Real-Time Risk Intelligence
ProvenChain™ continuously ingests global vulnerability feeds from the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures catalog and the National Vulnerability Database (CVE/NVD) to detect threats, validate patches, and record mitigation evidence automatically.
Self-Sovereign Vendor Identity (SSI)
Vendors and suppliers receive decentralized digital credentials verified on-chain, eliminating the need for third-party certificate authorities.
Automated Patch & Update Verification
Smart contracts enforce patch integrity using SHA-256 validation, while zero-trust permissions limit system exposure during deployment.
Confidential Multi-Party Validation
Our threshold cryptography ensures data confidentiality — even when multiple validating nodes participate in verification.
Configurable Deployments
Deploy ProvenChain™ as an on-premises, cloud-based, or RCS Group managed service — customized to your compliance and operational needs.
