Why is Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) essential for my security -- and how does Protectstar implement it?

At Protectstar, we strictly adhere to SCRM practices to deliver reliable, multiple award-winning apps—such as Antivirus AI, Anti Spy, or iShredder—with the goal of providing you with the best possible protection.
In doing so, we follow recognized standards like NIST SP 800-161 (Supply Chain Risk Management) and NIST SP 800-53 r5 (Security Controls). We also continuously monitor all external components we use (e.g., open-source libraries) for security vulnerabilities.

What is SCRM, and why is it important to you?

Supply Chain Risk Management means that every step of the supply chain—from development to integration to distribution—is carefully monitored. Every single component, every software library, and every external service is reviewed before it becomes part of our apps. The reason is simple: even the smallest, seemingly harmless component could become an entry point for cyberattacks if it isn’t thoroughly vetted.

For you as a user, this means you can rest assured that Protectstar not only meets the highest security requirements itself, but that all of the “building blocks” used also meet the same high standards.

How do we implement SCRM at Protectstar in practice?

• Strict supplier and component evaluation
  We analyze every external provider and every library used in our apps. This includes reviewing technical security, legal requirements, and potential vulnerabilities.
• Regular security audits and certifications
  Our multiple award-winning apps—such as Antivirus AI, Anti Spy, or iShredder—undergo regular penetration tests and audits. Many of our apps have already earned the DEKRA MASA L1 certification (Mobile Application Security Assessment Level 1), confirming our high security standards.
• Proactive vulnerability scanning
  Using the latest technologies, we continually look for potential vulnerabilities in our apps and in the components we use. This way, we can address any security gaps before they pose a risk to you.
• Secure development processes
  Our Secure Software Development Lifecycle (Secure SDLC) ensures that all necessary measures are taken right from the planning and programming stages to prevent future risks. In addition, we adhere to recognized security standards such as the guidelines provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
