Competitor Comparison

Safeguard.sh vs Wiz

Zero CVE Components + Supply Chain vs Cloud Posture

Wiz provides cloud security posture management (CSPM) for runtime scanning. Safeguard.sh starts you clean with 6,000+ zero CVE images and packages, then delivers software supply chain security with autonomous remediation. See why you need BOTH—and why Safeguard.sh covers supply chain threats Wiz can't address.

Feature-by-Feature Comparison

Software supply chain security vs cloud security posture management

Zero CVE Components

Safeguard.sh

3,000+ zero CVE images + 3,000+ Gold packages—certified before deployment

Wiz

None—runtime scanning only, no pre-vetted components

Primary Focus

Safeguard.sh

Software supply chain security—code, dependencies, containers, AI models, SBOM, TPRM

Wiz

Cloud security posture—misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, compliance across cloud workloads

Dependency Analysis

Safeguard.sh

100-level dependency depth with reachability analysis—deep supply chain tracing

Wiz

Runtime vulnerability scanning—no deep dependency chain analysis

Remediation Approach

Safeguard.sh

Autonomous Auto-Fix for supply chain vulnerabilities—self-healing code and containers

Wiz

Cloud misconfiguration remediation—not focused on software supply chain fixing

SBOM Management

Safeguard.sh

Complete SBOM lifecycle with EO 14028 attestation and continuous monitoring

Wiz

Runtime SBOM discovery—limited lifecycle management and attestation

Third-Party Risk

Safeguard.sh

Dedicated TPRM with vendor SBOM validation—protects against supplier threats

Wiz

Cloud vendor security assessment—no software supplier SBOM validation

Cloud Security Posture

Safeguard.sh

Not a CSPM tool—focused on software supply chain security

Wiz

Comprehensive CSPM across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Alibaba—cloud misconfiguration detection

Container Security

Safeguard.sh

Supply chain focused: dependency analysis, layer-by-layer scanning, autonomous fixing

Wiz

Runtime focused: workload protection, network security, runtime anomaly detection

Development Integration

Safeguard.sh

Deep CI/CD integration, Git hooks, IDE plugins—shift-left supply chain security

Wiz

Runtime cloud integration—limited development-time supply chain security

Federal Compliance

Safeguard.sh

FedRAMP HIGH, IL7, SOC 2 Type II ready—compliance-ready architecture designed for federal software supply chain requirements

Wiz

SOC 2, ISO 27001—strong cloud security compliance but not IL7 or FedRAMP HIGH architecture

Cost Model

Safeguard.sh

Value-based on supply chain outcomes (vulnerabilities fixed, compliance achieved)

Wiz

Workload-based pricing—costs scale with cloud resource usage

Why You Need Both Solutions

Complementary Security Layers

Wiz protects cloud infrastructure posture (misconfigurations, IAM, network). Safeguard.sh protects software supply chain (dependencies, SBOM, third-party risk). You need both—Wiz for WHERE your software runs, Safeguard.sh for WHAT's IN your software.

Supply Chain vs Cloud Posture

Wiz excels at cloud security posture management—finding misconfigurations and runtime threats. Safeguard.sh excels at software supply chain security—tracing 100-level dependencies, validating vendor SBOMs, and autonomous vulnerability fixing.

Development vs Runtime Focus

Safeguard.sh protects at development time—preventing vulnerabilities before deployment with CI/CD integration. Wiz protects at runtime—detecting threats in running cloud workloads. Both stages need protection.

SBOM Lifecycle Management

Wiz discovers runtime SBOMs for workload inventory. Safeguard.sh manages complete SBOM lifecycle: generation, enrichment, validation, secure distribution, continuous monitoring, and EO 14028 attestation—critical for federal compliance.

Autonomous Supply Chain Healing

Wiz alerts on cloud security issues requiring manual fixing. Griffin AI autonomously fixes supply chain vulnerabilities—generating pull requests, validating compatibility, and deploying fixes without manual intervention.

Third-Party Software Risk

Wiz assesses cloud vendor security posture. Safeguard.sh TPRM validates software supplier SBOMs—addressing the 95% of breaches involving third-party software components, not just cloud vendor security.

When You Need Safeguard.sh + Wiz

Complete Security Coverage

Gap with Wiz Alone: Wiz protects your cloud infrastructure but doesn't address software supply chain threats like dependency confusion, typosquatting, or malicious packages
Safeguard.sh Solution: Use Wiz for cloud posture + Safeguard.sh for supply chain security—complete coverage of both infrastructure AND software

Federal Procurement Requirements

Gap with Wiz Alone: You need EO 14028 SBOM attestation and NIST SSDF compliance—Wiz runtime discovery doesn't provide complete SBOM lifecycle management
Safeguard.sh Solution: Safeguard.sh provides complete SBOM lifecycle, attestation, and self-attestation templates for federal compliance

Deep Dependency Analysis

Gap with Wiz Alone: Wiz runtime scanning doesn't trace deep dependency chains—your 100-level nested dependencies aren't fully analyzed
Safeguard.sh Solution: Griffin AI traces 100-level dependency depth—finding supply chain threats in deep transitive dependencies Wiz can't see

Development-Time Prevention

Gap with Wiz Alone: Wiz detects runtime threats after deployment—vulnerabilities have already reached production
Safeguard.sh Solution: Safeguard.sh prevents vulnerabilities at development time with CI/CD integration—stopping threats before production deployment

Third-Party Software Validation

Gap with Wiz Alone: 95% of breaches involve third-party software—Wiz doesn't validate supplier SBOMs or prevent vendor supply chain attacks
Safeguard.sh Solution: Safeguard.sh TPRM requests, validates, and continuously monitors vendor SBOMs with automated policy enforcement
