The Challenge
Your Security Stack Is Creating the Problem It Claims to Solve
ProblemEvery package you deploy is already compromised. Traditional tools force you to inherit 147 CVEs per container, then charge you to find them. Supply chain attacks cost $80.6B globally. Teams waste $720K annually drowning in false positives while critical vulnerabilities hide 100 levels deep.
SolutionDeploy clean, stay clean. Start with 6,000+ zero-CVE components. Griffin AI auto-remediates threats before production. Reachability analysis eliminates 80% of false positives.
Impact92% faster remediation (45 days → 3 days), $4.2M saved, zero breaches in 18 months. The .sh stands for Self-Healing.
Solutions
Stop Inheriting Vulnerabilities.
Start Clean, Stay Clean.
6,000+ zero CVE components + autonomous self-healing + 100-level depth = The most comprehensive SSCS platform available
6,000+
Zero CVE Components
Problem
You inherit vulnerabilities from day one.
Cost
85% of breaches start with vulnerable dependencies. SaaS startup lost $10M deal.
Solution
6,000+ zero CVE images and malware-free packages at gold.Safeguard.sh.
Benefit
Start clean. Startup achieved SOC 2 in 6 weeks, closed $10M enterprise deal.

Snyk scans 60 levels. Healthcare had vuln at level 87 (missed by Snyk)—$25M ransomware risk.
Solution
We scan 100 levels (40 more than competitors).
Benefit
Found vuln 87 levels deep, prevented $25M attack. Zero breaches in 18 months.

Fewer False Positives
Problem
Snyk alerts on every CVE regardless of reachability.
Cost
FinTech got 50,000+ alerts/month, 92% false positives. 1,200 hours/month wasted = $720K/year.
Solution
Reachability analysis shows only exploitable vulnerabilities.
Benefit
80% fewer alerts. Saved $4.2M. Team went from firefighting to strategic planning.

Reduction in false positives
Challenge
Problem: Processing $500B+ annually required PCI DSS compliance across 2,000 microservices. Previous tool (Snyk) generated 50,000+ alerts monthly. Cost: 92% were false positives. Security team wasted 1,200 hours/month on alert noise—$720K/year. Critical vulnerabilities went unfixed for 45+ days while buried in false positives. Vendor risk from third-party payment SDKs threatened compliance.
Solution
Solution: Deployed Safeguard.sh ESSCM + TPRM + Zero CVE images. Griffin AI's reachability analysis reduced alerts by 76% (50K → 12K real threats). Autonomous self-healing fixed vulnerabilities without manual intervention. TPRM validated vendor SBOMs before integration. Started clean with 6,000+ zero CVE components.

"Benefit: Safeguard.sh paid for itself in Q1. Remediation time: 45 days → 3 days (92% faster). Saved $4.2M in security team hours. Zero breaches in 18 months. Our security team went from firefighting to strategic planning. We passed PCI audit with zero findings for the first time in company history."

Autonomous remediation offline
Challenge
Problem: IL7 compliance required for classified DoD programs. Air-gapped network with no internet access. 100% uptime SLA for national security systems. Cost: Previous tools (Snyk, Checkmarx) couldn't operate offline—they're cloud-only SaaS. Manual vulnerability management took 18+ months. Couldn't bid on $12M DoD contract without IL7 compliance readiness.
Solution
Solution: Private on-prem deployment with CLI tool for air-gapped environments. Zero CVE images eliminated pre-deployment vulnerabilities. Griffin AI runs completely offline with no internet dependency. Compliance-ready architecture designed for IL7 and FedRAMP HIGH standards.

Challenge
Problem: Enterprise deals required SOC 2 Type II compliance. Small 3-person security team managing 200 developers. Developers ignored security alerts from Snyk—95% false positives killed adoption. Cost: Lost $10M enterprise deal due to lack of security compliance. Couldn't scale security with 3-person team. Previous tool (Snyk) required manual fixes taking weeks.
Solution
Solution: ESSCM + IDE extension + Zero CVE images. IDE extension integrated security at moment of coding—developers caught vulnerabilities as they wrote code. Autonomous self-healing eliminated manual fixes. Reachability analysis showed only exploitable vulnerabilities. Started clean with zero CVE components.

Challenge
Problem: HIPAA compliance across 100+ hospitals. Legacy systems with deeply nested dependencies. Previous tool (Snyk) only scanned 60 levels deep—missed critical vulnerabilities hiding deeper. Cost: Similar hospital paid $25M ransomware attack. Security audit found gaps 10+ levels deep in supply chain. One missed vulnerability could breach 100+ hospitals and millions of patient records.
Solution
Solution: 100-level dependency scanning found vulnerabilities Snyk missed entirely. Griffin AI discovered critical vulnerability 87 levels deep that was actively exploited in the wild. Autonomous remediation prevented ransomware attack in 4 hours (before Snyk even detected it). Continuous monitoring ensured HIPAA compliance.

Payment gateway vuln found
Challenge
Problem: Black Friday readiness critical—$500M+ revenue at stake. 43 third-party integrations (payment gateways, shipping, analytics). No visibility into vendor security posture. Cost: Previous breach cost $8M in lost revenue and fines. One payment gateway outage during Black Friday = $500M+ revenue loss. PCI DSS audit failure would halt payment processing.
Solution
Solution: TPRM validated 43 vendor SBOMs before Black Friday. Found critical vulnerability in payment gateway SDK 2 weeks before go-live—that vulnerability would have caused complete outage during peak sales. Zero CVE images ensured clean deployment. 15-cloud support secured multi-cloud infrastructure. Real-time monitoring during Black Friday.
