Feature	CI/Lock
STOA Rating	7.0
Description	CI/Lock gives your software pipeline a tamper-proof receipt. It wraps every build step, security scan, and runtime check in a cryptographically signed attestation — so you can prove exactly what ran, when, and on what artifact. Built by TestifySec (who also donated the Witness tool to the CNCF), it targets teams under FedRAMP, SOC 2, EU Cyber Resilience Act, or CMMC requirements who need machine-readable evidence without extra audit busywork.
Strengths	•Built on open standards (DSSE + in-toto) that the broader ecosystem can verify — no vendor lock-in on the evidence format •Three-layer supply-chain attack defense: prevention (SHA pinning + Rego policy), content detection (Gitleaks scanning), and behavioral detection (file-trace OPA policies) •CLI installs in one brew command and produces a first signed attestation in 60 seconds — low friction for a compliance tool
Weaknesses	•Aimed squarely at DevSecOps and GRC teams — too technical for small businesses without a dedicated security function •No public pricing visible; enterprise platform cost unknown, which makes budgeting hard for smaller engineering teams
Key Features	•Sign every CI/CD step with SLSA-aligned in-toto attestations from GitHub Actions and GitLab CI, verified against a Rego policy at release time •Wrap SAST, DAST, SBOM, and secret-scanner runs (OWASP ZAP, Trivy, Grype, Semgrep, Gitleaks) so auditors see signed proof they ran on the exact artifact •Capture runtime evidence — Falco events, Linkerd mTLS, kube-bench CIS benchmarks — and gate releases on cluster-integrity conditions, not just scanner results •Map attestations automatically to NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, and SOC 2 controls through the TestifySec Platform, eliminating manual evidence reconstruction •Control AI-agent-driven releases with cryptographic policy gates: the agent can produce evidence, but only a human-signed policy decides if the artifact ships
Pricing	Free tier available Free Tier
Best For	All industries
AI Features	AI-Powered Native Claude Code integration for release-gate checks. AI-agent governance model lets agents produce signed attestations while human-controlled cryptographic policies control what actually ships.
Categories	Handle Documents & DataBuild & Connect
STOA Verdict	CI/Lock is the right tool if your team faces supply-chain security audits or government compliance mandates and is tired of reconstructing evidence manually. It solves a real, painful problem with strong open-standard credentials. Not useful if you're a small team without compliance obligations — the setup complexity outweighs the benefit.
