Chainguard offers 3 distinct tools or services. These include:
Chainguard Images - Reduces attack surfaces and minimize dependencies with a suite of distroless images. Chainguard Images are security-first container base images that are secure by default, signed by Sigstore, and include SBOMs, thanks to Wolfi—Chainguard's Linux (un)distro built for the software supply chain. Their images are signed and include Software Bills of Material (SBOMs) that are generated at build time.
Chainguard Enforce - Ensures continuous compliance and enforce policies that protect your organization from supply chain threats. It is a software supply chain risk management solution for organizations that enables users to build and manage supply chain policies following the SLSA Framework and NIST's Secure Software Development Framework, along with a catalog of predefined security policies with alerting. Users can generate SBOMs, monitor running containers for CVEs, and identify and investigate policy violations within one environment to protect infrastructure against insider attacks. SOC2 certified.
Chainguard Services - Chainguard will assess and build out roadmaps for an organization’s Software Supply Chain, including the Infrastructure, configuration, and compliance needs, to shift security left in the delivery lifecycle. The Chainguard team can perform audits to outline internal and external supply chain risks, adn provide detailed reports with suggested remediations,improvements, and next steps from the experts that helped to build these frameworks such as SLSA, SSDF, and other emerging standards.
