PCI DSS requirements for vulnerability management drive significant overhead and complexity for vendors handling cardholder or authentication data.
Chainguard simplifies PCI compliance with minimal, zero-CVE containers built entirely from source. Our images are purpose-specific, come with full build-time SBOMs, and are guarded under our best-in-class SLA for CVE remediation.

Chainguard offers minimal, zero-CVE images by default, shrinking your compliance and audit timelines significantly from Day 1.
Eliminate PCI DSS overhead and costs with Chainguard delivering from-source build pipelines, supply chain transparency, and CVE management.
Chainguard mitigates the risk of costly security breaches and failed audits, which incite heavy fines and penalties from regulators.
Let your developers focus on building innovative products by freeing them from the endless doom cycle of CVE remediation.
Chainguard inherently solves mission-critical PCI DSS controls with out-of-the-box capabilities.
PCI DSS requires remediation of all CVEs, with a 30 day SLA specified for critical/high.
Reduce the burden on eng, security, and compliance -- start at zero CVEs and stay there under Chainguard’s best-in-class remediation SLA (7 days for crit; 14 days for high/med/low).
PCI DSS requires companies to document and report all CVEs on a regular cadence.
Chainguard’s minimal images accumulate CVEs 80% more slowly than alternatives and eliminate 97.6% of CVEs on average. Bring CVE reporting to zero inbox and free up developer time.
Supply chain transparency is an integral component of PCI DSS compliance.
Make asset management a one-click task with SBOMs generated as code. Our SBOMs include detailed component lists, including transitive dependencies and software dark matter.
Going above and beyond PCI DSS security requirements builds trusts with regulators, auditors, and consumers.
PCI DSS focuses on encryption at the network layer without specifications for app layer.
Chainguard enables the deployment of functionally equivalent FIPS images. Optimize for cost, performance, and flexibility with our unique kernel-independent FIPS solution.
PCI DSS emphasizes container hardening without providing a true standard for adherence.
Chainguard hardens every image according to our dedicated OS-Level STIG approved by DISA. Eliminate months of manual configuration and investments in hardening workflows.
Open attestation that communicates where and how software is built simplifies PCI compliance.
Chainguard cryptographically signs all artifacts built in our hardened and trusted environment using Sigstore to deliver transparent attestation and full software provenance.
Auditors can quickly and easily verify that Chainguard Images have zero CVEs, a smaller attack surface, and accuulate CVEs more slowly than the alternatives.
Chainguard delivers a higher rate of success for PCI DSS compliance at a lower total cost of ownership.
