For authorities, auditors, and CISOs

Curbpack prepares structural evidence for human review; it does not perform conformity assessment.

What it is

A local-first command-line tool that evaluates rule packs (JSON checklists shaped like regulatory annex drafts—not law) against a git repository and writes documentation and dependency checks for humans. Default pack is house-policy; Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)–shaped packs are opt-in only. Pair with software composition analysis (SCA) and secret scanners for depth.

Evidence artifacts and trust levels

ArtifactTrust level (honest)
Gate JSON / action reportStructural evidence — reproducible locally; not a legal finding
Read-only scan (curbpack scan / npx curbpack scan)Diagnosis only — writes nothing; default pack cra-baseline for Art 14 clock; not certification
SARIF exportSame gates in CI/IDE format — not certification
Buyer-questions / ContextPack / lay-of-landHuman checklist, washed assistant snapshot, map — not a CVE product or certification
Review pack / buyer one-pagerProcurement snapshot — not a certificate of conformity
SBOM / OpenVEX draftsBest-effort inventory and draft notes
Git Notes attestSigned only if ssh-agent signed — unsigned ≠ verified
Explain-packetSanitized tutor surface — never greenlights gates

What it is not

Institute neutrality

Development supported by RISE Research Institutes of Sweden as an applied research / competence object. RISE does not certify products that use Curbpack gate results. Never claim “RISE-approved,” “NCSC-approved,” or agency-endorsed product claims. Repo: promotion firewall.

Offline

Daily check needs no remote policy service. Packs ship embedded; refresh via offline import or a sha256-pinned network update. Install verifies release checksums fail-closed.
