Pioneer's Trusted Container Repository

The trusted repository behind every Pioneer deployment.

Ghost is Pioneer's hardened container image repository. Every image is scanned, remediated, signed, and attested — delivering zero known CVEs so your team can deploy with confidence.

// Capabilities

What other registries promise.
What Ghost delivers to Pioneer.

Most hardened image repositories still ship containers with dozens or hundreds of known CVEs. Ghost delivers zero. Every image is scanned, remediated, signed, and continuously monitored before it ever reaches your Pioneer cluster.

Curated Image Catalog

A growing registry of production-ready images: nginx, postgres, python, node, redis, and more. Every image hardened by Ghost's automated pipeline and available exclusively through Pioneer.

True Zero-CVE Hardening

Not "scanned and justified." Actually patched. Ghost remediates vulnerabilities using native package managers and AI-assisted analysis. Zero known CVEs at time of publish, continuously maintained.

Cryptographic Signing & Attestation

Every image is signed with Cosign, includes SLSA provenance, and ships with verifiable attestations. Prove your supply chain integrity before anything reaches your cluster.

Full SBOM & Provenance

Software Bill of Materials in SPDX and CycloneDX formats, generated for every image. Complete visibility into every component, dependency, and version.

Continuous Monitoring & Rebuild

New CVE disclosed? Ghost catches it, patches it, and publishes a new image automatically. No manual justification queues. No waiting on upstream vendors. No stale images.

Compliance-Ready Artifacts

Every image ships with risk assessment scoring, control mappings, and audit-ready documentation mapped to the frameworks regulated industries require. Evidence, not assertions.


// The Ghost Catalog

The secure foundation for Pioneer.

Ghost curates hardened images through its own automated pipeline. Every image in the catalog meets the same standard: zero known CVEs, signed, attested, and ready for your Pioneer environment.

Ghost-Hardened Images

The core of the catalog. Built from upstream sources, remediated with native package managers and AI-assisted analysis, stripped to minimal attack surface. Continuously rebuilt and monitored.

Built for Pioneer

Ghost is Pioneer's default image source. Every Pioneer deployment pulls from Ghost, ensuring that every container in your cluster has been hardened, signed, and attested before it ever runs.

Custom Image Hardening

Need an image that isn't in the catalog yet? Ghost can harden your custom images and onboard additional upstream sources. Same hardening standard, same compliance artifacts, same registry.

// How It Works

Pull from Ghost. Deploy to Pioneer.

Ghost maintains the catalog. Pioneer pulls from Ghost. Your team deploys with confidence.

Step 01

Browse the Catalog

Find your image in the Ghost catalog — or request a custom image to be hardened and added.

Step 02

Verify Provenance

Every image includes signatures, SBOM, SLSA provenance, and risk assessment documentation before you pull.

Step 03

Pull & Deploy

Pull the hardened image from the Ghost registry. One line change in your Dockerfile. Same image, zero CVEs.

Step 04

Stay Current

Ghost continuously monitors and rebuilds. New CVEs are caught and patched automatically. Your images stay clean.

Terminal
# Pull your hardened image
$ docker pull ghost.registry/nginx:hardened
hardened: Pulling from ghost.registry/nginx
a2abf6c4d29d: Pull complete

# Verify signatures and attestations
$ cosign verify ghost.registry/nginx:hardened
Verification for ghost.registry/nginx:hardened —

// Every Pioneer Subscription

Ghost is included with Pioneer.

Every Pioneer deployment comes backed by Ghost. You don't operate the hardening pipeline, maintain justification queues, or chase upstream vendors. Ghost handles the supply chain so your team can focus on the mission.

Ghost Registry Access

Pioneer pulls directly from the Ghost catalog — hardened images and custom builds from one trusted source, configured as your cluster's default registry.

Continuous Monitoring & Rebuild

Images are continuously scanned and rebuilt as new CVEs are disclosed. No manual remediation cycles. No stale images sitting in your registry with unpatched findings.

SLA-Backed Remediation

Critical and high-severity CVEs are remediated under defined SLA tiers. Full MTTR tracking so you always know where your images stand.

Dev Image Variants

Every hardened image ships with a -dev variant so your developers have full parity between development and production environments. No more "works on my machine."

Compliance Artifact Bundle

SBOM (SPDX + CycloneDX), SLSA provenance, Cosign signatures, OpenVEX documents, risk assessment scoring, and evidence-backed control mappings. Generated for every image, every build.

Audit-Ready Documentation

Compliance reports mapped to SOC 2, HIPAA, FedRAMP, PCI-DSS, and CMMC. The kind of documentation that satisfies auditors and accelerates authorization timelines.


// Compliance

The body of evidence your authorization requires.

Ghost generates the compliance artifacts Pioneer customers need to accelerate authorization timelines. Risk assessments, control mappings, and cryptographic proof for every image in the catalog.

SOC 2 HIPAA FedRAMP PCI-DSS CMMC NIST 800-53

Risk Assessment Scoring — Every image receives a risk score based on vulnerability findings, remediation status, and overall security posture.

SLSA Provenance — Verifiable build provenance documenting how every image was built, from what source, and by whom.

SBOM (SPDX + CycloneDX) — Machine-readable software bill of materials in both standard formats. Full visibility into every component.

Cosign Signatures — Cryptographic signatures you can verify before any image reaches your environment.

OpenVEX Documents — Machine-readable vulnerability exploitability data. No manual justification queues.

Control Mappings — Evidence-backed compliance documentation mapped to the frameworks your organization requires.


// Built For

Trusted by Pioneer customers.

Ghost serves the teams and organizations that rely on Pioneer for secure Kubernetes operations. From platform engineers to compliance leaders, Ghost ensures your container supply chain is never the weak link.
