Chain-bench is an open-source tool for auditing your software supply chain stack for security compliance based on a new CIS Software Supply Chain benchmark. The auditing focuses on the entire SDLC process, where it can reveal risks from code time into deploy time. To win the race against hackers and protect your sensitive data and customer trust, you need to ensure your code is compliant with your organization’s policies.

We currently support Github as the first SCM, with PAT authentication.
Chain-bench implements the CIS Software Supply Chain Benchmark as closely as possible. You can find the current implemented checks under AVD - Software Supply Chain CIS - 1.0 that update every night based chain-bench metadata.json files Please raise issues here if chain-bench is not correctly implementing the test as described in the Benchmark. To report issues in the Benchmark itself (for example, tests that you believe are inappropriate), please join the CIS community.
Kindly read Contributing before contributing. We welcome PRs and issue reports.
Going forward we plan to release updates to chain-bench to increase the benchmark coverage with more checks and support more platforms. chain-bench is an Aqua Security open source project part of Trivy Family.
