Simplify PCI-DSS Requirements with Chainguard
Achieve continuous PCI compliance with ease
PCI DSS vulnerability management requirements create significant overhead for vendors handling cardholder data. Chainguard simplifies PCI compliance with minimal, zero-CVE containers built from source — all images include full build-time SBOMs and are backed by a best-in-class CVE remediation SLA.
Unlock secure transactions faster without sacrificing developer productivity
!
Move faster
Chainguard offers minimal, zero-CVE images by default, shrinking your compliance and audit timelines significantly from Day 1.
!
Lower total cost
Eliminate PCI DSS 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.
SLA for CVE remediation
PCI DSS requires remediation of all CVEs, with a 30 day SLA specified for critical/high.
Reduce the burden on eng, security, and compliance — start at zero CVEs and stay there under Chainguard’s best-in-class remediation SLA (7 days for crit; 14 days for high/med/low).
CVE reporting
PCI DSS requires companies to document and report all CVEs on a regular cadence.
Chainguard’s minimal images accumulate CVEs 80% more slowly than alternatives and eliminate 97.6% of CVEs on average. Bring CVE reporting to zero inbox and free up developer time.
Full build-time SBOMs
Supply chain transparency is an integral component of PCI DSS compliance.
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.
FIPS-validated cryptography
PCI DSS focuses on encryption at the network layer without specifications for app layer.
Chainguard enables the deployment of functionally equivalent FIPS images. Optimize for cost, performance, and flexibility with our unique kernel-independent FIPS solution.
STIG hardening
PCI DSS emphasizes container hardening without providing a true standard for adherence.
Chainguard hardens every image according to our dedicated OS-Level STIG approved by DISA. Eliminate months of manual configuration and investments in hardening workflows.
Code signatures
Open attestation that communicates where and how software is built simplifies PCI compliance.
Chainguard cryptographically signs all artifacts built in our hardened and trusted environment using Sigstore to deliver transparent attestation and full software provenance.
