# Turn Compliance Requirements Into Continuous Evidence

RapidFort removes unused software from container images using runtime insight and automated hardening, reducing exposure while preserving application behavior.

Start from Curated Near-Zero CVE Images on major LTS Linux

Reduce exposure with automated hardening and attack surface reduction

Export SBOM, RBOM, and CIS or STIG reports on demand

## Why Compliance Readiness Becomes a Fire Drill

### Evidence Sprawl

Evidence is fragmented across scanners, registries, and spreadsheets

### Untrusted Baselines

Approved baselines drift from what actually runs in production

### Audit Scramble

Teams assemble proof late, under audit and renewal pressure

## What Assessors and Reviewers Ask You to Prove

### Evidence expectations

- Hardened baselines aligned to recognized benchmarks
- Continuous vulnerability reduction, not point-in-time scans
- Least functionality through reduced software footprint
- Traceable artifacts such as SBOM and runtime-backed evidence

## A Practical System for Defensible Compliance Readiness

### 01

### Secure Baselines

Curated Near-Zero CVE Images hardened to CIS and STIG benchmarks and aligned to NIST guidance.

### 02

### Reduce Exposure Continuously

Remove unused components to reduce CVEs and shrink attack surface without changing application logic.

### 03

### Export Evidence on Demand

Generate and export SBOM and RBOM artifacts, plus CIS and STIG evidence for audits and reviews.

## Compliance Outcomes That Hold Up in Review

### Up to 99.9% CVE Reduction

Up to 99.9% total vulnerability reduction automatically

### 90% Attack Surface

Up to 90% reduction in exploitable software packages

### ~ 60% Less

Manual remediation and evidence preparation effort

### Faster Audits

Renewals, and customer security reviews with ready artifacts

## Start from a Secure Foundation

Eliminate inherited risk, standardize hardened images, and accelerate security and compliance from the first layer up.
