Cybersecurity Container Audit — NIST SP 800-190

Runs the same checker as our npm package on a Node.js runtime that pip installs for you (nodejs-wheel-binaries) - no system Node.js needed. Your files are checked locally.

Reads a Dockerfile or compose file and names the hardening controls it fails, with the NIST SP 800-171 requirement each one puts at risk.
