CRA Gate now available

Know what blocks your release.

Connect a GitHub repo. ShipGate works out which release obligations matter, checks the evidence in your codebase, and fixes what it safely can in a pull request.

Run a scan Scan a public repo

No compliance score. No giant GRC dashboard. Just blockers, evidence, and fixes.

Proposed pull request

ShipGate: add release SBOM workflow

SAFE FIX

+ .github/workflows/sbom.yml
+ release artifact: sbom.cdx.json

No factual compliance claim is inserted. ShipGate only adds the mechanical release workflow and leaves product-specific assertions for you to approve.

How it works

A release gate, not a compliance percentage.

ShipGate separates what code can prove from what only your team can answer. Every unresolved item becomes one of three actions.

Fix

A mechanical issue ShipGate can change safely: add an SBOM workflow, pin an action, create a security-policy skeleton, or update release configuration.

FIX IN PR

Prove

You may already satisfy the requirement, but ShipGate cannot see the evidence. Point it to the policy, process, test result, or repository file that proves it.

SHOW EVIDENCE

Answer

Some facts do not live in source code: intended use, support period, markets, classification, or organizational responsibility. Your team answers them explicitly.

MANUFACTURER INPUT

The ShipGate model

From repository to release receipt.

Every result is tied to a repository state, a product context, and a versioned ruleset.

01ConnectSelect a GitHub repo or scan a public repository.

02DescribeTell ShipGate what you ship, where, and how it is distributed.

03CheckRun only the gates that actually apply to that product.

04ResolveFix, prove, or answer every unresolved release item.

05ReceiptGenerate a commit-specific record of what passed and what remains reviewed.

First gate: EU CRA

Checks the repository evidence that actually matters.

ShipGate does not pretend GitHub can answer every regulatory question. It automates the parts a repository can genuinely evidence and asks humans for the rest.

✓SBOM generation and release artifacts

✓Dependency manifests, lockfiles, and known vulnerability signals

✓SECURITY.md and vulnerability reporting route

✓Supported-version and security-update documentation

✓CI security checks and dependency-update automation

✓GitHub Action pinning and release-provenance signals

✓Licence inventory and third-party component evidence

✓Technical-documentation skeleton and open evidence gaps

Versioned rulesets

Your code can stay the same while the rules change.

ShipGate versions each regulatory rule pack. When guidance or evidence expectations change, you get a rules diff instead of discovering it at the next audit.

Built for developers

The compliance state lives with the code.

ShipGate can keep a small, reviewable manifest in the repository so release evidence is version-controlled instead of trapped in a dashboard.

One answer before release: can we ship this?

Connect a repo, clear the gates that apply, and turn mechanical blockers into a pull request.

ShipGate is release-readiness software, not a conformity assessment body and not a certification service.
