Secure-by-default OSS designed to meet your public sector mission

Cost Savings at Scale

Security shouldn’t drain resources. Chainguard eliminates CVEs and compliance toil - cutting waste and unlocking engineering focus.

Faster Time to Mission

From code to production - faster ATO, stronger compliance, and zero trust built-in.

Decreased Risk, Built by the Experts

Supply chain attacks are today’s top threat. Chainguard, built by the creators of SLSA and Sigstore, shuts them down by default.

Chainguard helps you move faster while staying secure

Eliminate security guesswork by embedding trust and compliance into containerized workloads from Day 1.

Talk to an expert

Minimal, zero-CVE images

Reduce time spent on remediation with OSS artifacts that are delivered to you CVE-free by default.

Rebuilt from source daily

SLSA validated software factory that builds projects directly from source.

Best-in-class SLA for CVE remediation

Industry-best SLAs (7 days for critical, 14 days for the rest) ensure compliance with cATO timelines.

OSS artifacts with traceable origins

Cryptographic signatures, SBOMs, SLSA provenance, and attestations included for compliance requirements.

STIG hardening

Chainguard FIPS containers are pre-configured to meet OS-Level SRGs and DoD security standards.

FIPS-validated cryptography

FIPS containers with kernel-independent cryptography simplifies compliance and reduces infrastructure licensing costs

DoD Data Program: Enhancing security and efficiency

“We used to spend 40–60 hours per CVE. With Chainguard, that went away almost completely...The ability to not have to worry about CVEs at all changed the game. It eliminated the developer death spiral.”

Delivering innovative solutions for the DoD

“All of the products that we sell to the government has to be FIPS compliant, which means it has to meet a certain cryptography standard. On my team, half of us were spending the majority of our time removing CVEs and creating STIGs for container images.”
