The standard

What SBoB is

SBoMs describe what is in the software. The Bill of Behavior prescribes what the software is intended to do at runtime — expressing intent in the form of signed yaml profiles, suitable for detection engineering, supply-chain assurance, and emerging compliance regimes (EU Cyber Resilience Act, NIS 2).

The vendor declares the behavior in a prescriptive manner. The end user verifies it. Defenders get up-to-date detection rules with every release.

Where things live today

Stewardship

An open standard, stewarded — not sold.

Bill of Behavior is a free and open-source standard. It is not a product, not a paid tier, not a funnel into commercial services. fusioncore.ai stewards the standard's development under the OSS-steward regime defined in the EU Cyber Resilience Act (Article 24). Whether or not the stewardship will be transferred to a foundation or similar independent entity in the future is an open question and is actively being considered.

The standard is open and currently expressed as a pseudo spec. We will release the first draft of the specification soon. Contributors welcome via GitHub issues and pull requests.
