- The Compliance tier
+ Security is the difference
+ Security is what sets this product apart. The release items below ship in the current release. The supply-chain items describe how we work today, in our own build and CI. You can check each one yourself.
+ Signed and verifiable
+
+ - Signed releases. Images and the checksums file are signed with Sigstore, with no signing key stored anywhere. How to verify.
+ - Build provenance. Every image and binary archive carries a signed statement naming the CI run that built it.
+ - A bill of materials. Every binary archive ships with an SBOM.
+ - Published vulnerability statements. A VEX file with each release says which known vulnerabilities do and do not affect it.
+ - Reproducible. Each image is assembled a second time on a separate machine, and the digests must match or the release fails.
+
+ Supply chain
+
+ - Pinned build steps. Every GitHub Action our releases use is pinned to an exact commit, and a check in CI enforces it on every change. The container base image is pinned by digest.
+ - Hash-checked installs. Python tooling in our CI is installed with hash checking, so a swapped package is refused.
+ - A 7-day wait. Our CI holds new dependency versions for 7 days before adopting them, and Dependabot has the same cooling-off period.
+ - A daily supply-chain check. Once a day, everything our build and CI pull in (actions, tools, packages) is checked against public advisory databases and malicious-package reports. Any hit opens an issue.
+ - Scanned before release. Two independent scanners with different databases check every release candidate, and any finding blocks the release unless a published VEX statement explains it. RELEASING.md.
+ - Rescanned every day. Every published image is scanned again daily, so a new vulnerability in something we shipped raises an issue.
+
+ Small, quiet and patched
+
+ - Tiny and quiet. A distroless image with one static program and no shell. It sends no telemetry and makes no outbound connections.
+ - A FIPS build. A FIPS variant uses Go's validated FIPS 140-3 cryptographic module.
+ - Patched for everyone. We aim to ship dependency fixes within 48 hours of disclosure. That is a target, not a promise. Security patches are never withheld from the free tier.
+ - Report a problem privately. Use GitHub's private vulnerability report.
