Facts read 19 Sep 2026 – 15 Oct 2026
Wisec leads this list of 24 (record score 5.7, free plan). GUAC is next (record score 5.6, free plan), and Sigstore is the next highest-placed with a free plan (record score 5.6).
Software supply chain security software covers controls around the code, dependencies, and artifacts involved in building and releasing software. Compare dependency analysis and source and repo security with artifact signing and build provenance. Provenance attestations, SBOM management, and release policy gates add further dimensions to consider, while free-plan availability and paid-from pricing frame the cost. DevGuard, Chainloop, and SafeDep Platform are among the named options. Focus on the areas of your development and release process you need to address, then compare the listed capabilities to understand which parts of that work each product supports.
