Why CWS for this
what you get
Supply Chain Security Experts
Our engineers specialize in container security and software supply chain integrity, bringing deep expertise in image hardening and attestation workflows.
Zero-CVE Migration Path
We provide a structured migration from legacy base images to Chainguard images, delivering measurable CVE reduction from day one.
Kubernetes-Native Approach
Our deployments integrate image verification directly into Kubernetes admission controllers, ensuring only trusted images run in production.
Compliance Acceleration
SBOM generation and image attestation streamline compliance evidence collection for SOC 2, FedRAMP, and software supply chain mandates.
