Automate compliance checks and streamline audits

Continuous Compliance

Replace manual audits with automated, continuous compliance checks

The Challenge

Compliance checks are essential in modern DevSecOps, ensuring that organizations deliver software securely and in line with legal obligations. However, in modern software development, manual audits are simply too slow and prone to errors to be practical.

Compliance data is scattered across separate tools (SAST, SCA, CI/CD, vulnerability scanners), and collecting and analyzing this data increases friction between DevOps, SecOps, and compliance teams. Plus, when regulatory standards change, updating tools and processes takes time, creating long windows of non-compliance and drift.

The Chainloop Solution

Chainloop centralizes scattered compliance and security requirements into one platform, offering complete visibility and automating risk assessments. It replaces tedious manual audits and fragmented policy management with a unified, automated system for compliance, risk management, and release management.

It is able to enforce compliance with both internal regulations and external standards and best practices, such as the NIST SSDF and the European CRA.

How It Works

Chainloop continuously evaluates attestations during the build-release cycle against pre-defined policies, providing developers and operators with near-instant feedback on whether or not a specific release is acceptable.

Built-In Compliance Frameworks

Frameworks provide a way to declaratively encode compliance controls. Chainloop provides a set of pre-built frameworks that can be directly applied to projects. Frameworks are composed of multiple requirements, which can be written in natural language (for example, “container images must be signed”).

Chainloop includes built-in support for common compliance frameworks like NIST, CRA, DORA, SSDF, SLSA, and more. Teams can also create and manage their own private frameworks and requirements.

Compliance data is tracked over time to provide historical views of project health. Exceptions are supported, can be added, and are automatically recorded in the audit log.

Curated Library of Policies-as-Code

Chainloop provides a curated set of policies tailored to common compliance controls, such as SBOM sanity checks, artifact signature verification, license checks, code quality and coverage checks, CVE scans, and many more. Both built-in policies and custom policies are supported.

The results of policy evaluations are stored in Chainloop’s evidence store and can be queried through the user interface. Policies are written in Rego and can be used to evaluate individual materials or the whole attestation document.

Policies are also reusable: this enables security, compliance and legal teams to define global rules (for example, “no GPL dependencies”) and have them enforced consistently across different products.

Declarative, Immutable Workflow Contracts

Chainloop enables Dev, Sec, and Ops teams to create declarative contracts requiring one or more pieces of evidence (e.g. artifacts, SBOMs, reports) to be attached during the SDLC lifecycle. Contracts connect evidence with policies, and Chainloop uses these contracts to verify provenance and integrity before any release reaches production.

These contracts are immutable, eliminating ambiguity in decision-making and setting a foundation for mutual trust and transparency between teams. Contracts can be applied to multiple workflows, making it easy to reuse and update them across teams and products.
