ChainGuard: cybersecurity software

Chainguard uses distroless Linux (Wolfi) images that will require a non-trivial instrumentation to ask your devs to stand up. It's a bit like, "compliance hates this one easy trick" - they provide minimal container images to use in your applications, but you'll still need to patch them over time.

How to evaluate ChainGuard in a security program

Use ChainGuard as a stack candidate, not as diligence evidence. The oneNorma score for ChainGuard is 6/10 (percentile 83). If the real gap is in Container Vulnerability, a dashboard does not replace a pentest or a control mapped to Law 21.663 or ISO 27001. Compare this profile with what chainguard.dev publishes. Contrast it with pentesting and Security Cloud & Compliance.

Which categories does ChainGuard fall into?

ChainGuard appears in the oneNorma directory under Container Vulnerability. Use those labels to compare it with other vendors for the same problem, not as an official ranking.

Does oneNorma resell or implement ChainGuard?

No. The ChainGuard profile (chainguard.dev) is for inventory and comparison. oneNorma delivers offensive and compliance evidence (pentesting, cloud compliance), not a vendor license.
