Security Software for CMMC Compliance | Stay Audit-Ready

Simplify CMMC compliance to unlock DoD and GSA funding

CMMC Phase 2 requires vendors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for DoD or GSA contracts to pass a third-party audit for compliance. Chainguard simplifies CMMC compliance with minimal, zero-CVE containers that ship with FIPS-validated cryptography, OS-level STIGs, full SBOMs, and a best-in-class SLA for CVE remediation.

Unlock DoD and GSA dollars faster without creating work for dev and security teams

Move faster

Chainguard offers minimal, zero-CVE images by default, shrinking your compliance and audit timelines significantly from Day 1.

Lower total cost

Eliminate CMMC overhead and costs with Chainguard delivering from-source build pipelines, supply chain transparency, and CVE management.

Reduce risk

Chainguard mitigates the risk of costly security breaches and failed audits, which incite heavy fines and penalties from regulators.

Improve productivity

Let your developers focus on building innovative products by freeing them from the endless doom cycle of CVE remediation.

Meet CMMC requirements by default

Achieving and maintaining certification requires companies to jump through hundreds of complex and demanding compliance hoops. Chainguard makes it easy.

SLA for CVE remediation

SI-2 and RA-3 require 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).

Minimal and standardized

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.

FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography

SC-12 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.

Malware protection

SI-3 requires processes to be put into place to protect 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.

Full build-time SBOMs

RA-1+2 require vendors to document every software component and identify vulnerabilities.

Make asset management a one-click task with SBOMs and STIG scan reports available on demand. Our SBOMs include detailed component lists, including transitive dependencies and software dark matter.

Code signatures

CM-8 requires digital attestations to ensure only trusted software is executed.

Chainguard cryptographically signs all artifacts built in our hardened and trusted environment using Sigstore to deliver transparent attestation and full software provenance.
