Questions people ask

What does this extension actually do?

It reads the Dockerfile or docker-compose file you have open and runs 19 checks drawn from NIST SP 800-190, the container security guide. Each failing line is reported with the section it comes from, the fix, and the NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 requirement that the gap puts at risk in your DoD self-assessment score.

Who is it for?

DevOps and platform engineers at US federal and defense contractors that handle CUI and post a NIST SP 800-171 self-assessment score to SPRS under DFARS 252.204-7019 and 7020. It is also useful to any team that has to show an auditor why a container runs the way it does.

Why will a free tool not do this?

Image scanners such as Trivy or Grype read the built image and list CVEs in packages. They do not tell you that USER root, a mounted Docker socket, or a baked-in password is the reason. A chatbot will rewrite your file but cannot name the requirement the old line cost you.

What is free and what needs a key?

The free tier audits the file you have open against all 19 checks and shows every finding, its SP 800-190 section, its fix, and the points at risk. A licence key adds a workspace-wide audit of every container file at once and the dated Markdown and CSV evidence export, for commercial and team use.

What would this cost done by a person?

A consultancy NIST SP 800-171 gap assessment runs $3,500 to $20,000 and takes 2 to 6 weeks, and it covers the whole system, not just containers. This extension does not replace that assessment. It closes the container-file gaps before the assessor bills you to find them.
