CMMC certification drives significant overhead and complexity for vendors handling Confidential Unclassified Information (CUI) and seeking DoD funding.
Chainguard accelerates certification and simplifies ongoing compliance with minimal, zero-CVE containers. Our images come with FIPS cryptography, OS-level STIGs, and full SBOMs, with a best-in-class SLA for CVE remediation.
Talk to an expertChainguard offers minimal, zero-CVE images by default, shrinking your compliance and audit timelines significantly from Day 1.
Eliminate PCI DSS overhead and costs with Chainguard delivering from-source build pipelines, supply chain transparency, and CVE management.
Chainguard mitigates the risk of costly security breaches and failed audits, which incite heavy fines and penalties from regulators.
Let your developers focus on building innovative products by freeing them from the endless doom cycle of CVE remediation.
Achieving and maintaining certification requires companies to jump through hundreds of complex controls and demanding compliance hoops.
Chainguard solves mission-critical CMMC controls by default with secure-by-design container images.

SI-2 and RA-3 requires timely and proactive patching of identified vulnerabilities.
Reduce the burden on eng, security, and compliance by starting at zero CVEs and staying there under Chainguard’s best-in-class SLA (7 days for critical; 14 days for high/medium/low).
CM-2 requires standardized system configurations across the environment with least functionality.
Chainguard’s images include only minimum components required to build and run your applications. That means they accumulate CVEs 80% more slowly than alternatives and eliminate 97.6% of CVEs from the outset.
FedRAMP requires the implementation of FIPS-validated cryptography across your stack.
Deploy functionally equivalent FIPS images with support for OpenSSL 3.0 and Bouncy Castle. Optimize cost, performance, and flexibility with our unique kernel-independent FIPS containers.
SI-3 requires processes to be put into place to protection against malicious code.
Chainguard builds every package and software component entirely from source in our hardened infrastructure, combating malware attacks at the build and distribution stages of the software supply chain.
FedRAMP requires vendors to regularly catalog all software components within the ATO scope.
Make asset management a one-click task with SBOMs generated as code. Our SBOMs include detailed component lists, including transitive dependencies and software dark matter.
FedRAMP requires transparent attestation to understand where and how software is built.
Chainguard cryptographically signs all artifacts built in our hardened and trusted environment using Sigstore to deliver transparent attestation and full software provenance.
Auditors can quickly and easily verify that Chainguard Containers have zero CVEs, a smaller attack surface, and accumulate CVEs more slowly than the alternatives.
Chainguard delivers a higher rate of success for CMMC compliance at a lower total cost of ownership.
