Simplify FedRAMP Certification with Chainguard

The easy button for FedRAMP ATO

Chainguard accelerates accreditation and simplifies continuous monitoring 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.

Unlock federal dollars faster without sacrificing developer productivity

Move faster

Chainguard offers FIPS-validated, STIG-hardened, zero-CVE images off the shelf, shrinking your FedRAMP timeline significantly from Day 1.

Lower total cost

Eliminate FedRAMP overhead and costs by shrinking investments in build pipelines, FIPS-validation, STIG hardening, and CVE remediation.

Unlock revenue

Get to market faster than the competition and capitalize on Federal buying cycles immediately to grow your business.

Improve productivity

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

Direct alignment with FedRAMP controls

Achieving and maintaining accreditation requires companies to jump through hundreds of complex and demanding hoops. Chainguard solves mission-critical FedRAMP controls by default with secure-by-design images.

SLA for CVE management

FedRAMP mandates strict SLAs for remediation (30 days for high, 90 for medium, 180 for low).

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).

POA&M reporting

ConMon requires a Plan of Action & Milestone (POA&M) report from vendors for every CVE.

Chainguard’s minimal images accumulate CVEs 80% more slowly than alternatives and eliminate 97.6% of CVEs on average. Bring POA&M reporting to zero and free up developer time.

FIPS-validated cryptography

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.

STIG hardening

FedRAMP’s container hardening standard points to STIGs approved by the DISA.

Chainguard hardens every FIPS image according to our dedicated OS-Level STIG with transparent OSCAP validation. Eliminate months of manual configuration and investments in STIG expertise.

Full build-time SBOMs

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.

Code signatures

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.
