JFrog AppTrust | Software Supply Chain Governance & Policy-as-Code

Every Release, Fully Governed. Automatically.

Natively enforce policy gates across your SDLC. Block non-compliant releases with evidence of security, quality, and compliance. Trust both human and AI written software.

Manual governance can't survive AI-driven development.

The Governance Bottleneck

AI now generates 10 times more code than human teams can manually review, while audits stay at human pace. Governance is the new constraint.

Detection, No Enforcement

Security tools flag risks but rarely enforce them. Without policy-as-code embedded in the pipeline, governance lives in dashboards while non-compliant releases reach production.

Rising Compliance Stakes

With regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act fines up to 2.5% of global sales, proving compliance has become a board-level requirement, not just a regulatory hurdle.

The compliance burden is real.

"The process today is me sitting down with 10 pages of an Excel spreadsheet and going and answering every compliance question."

Senior Manager, Quality Engineering, Large Enterprise

"We have 100 teams providing manual compliance evidence every month, 12 times a year. It's several hours out of my day, every month, just reviewing what they submit."

Technology Director, DevOps Platform Fortune 100 Company

"I don't trust developers filling out compliance questionnaires once a year. I want to see data."

Every release carries immutable proof

AppTrust is your continuous governance layer. It signs every artifact, enforces policy gates, maps ownership, and delivers audit-ready traceability, automatically.

NEW Prompt to Release Traceability

Every agent prompt, commit, PR, approval, Jira ticket, and SBOM is signed and bound to the software artifact automatically. No screenshots or spreadsheets. Every piece of evidence is cryptographically sealed from prompt to production.

Gates that Physically Block Non-Compliant Releases

Policy-as-code gates evaluate evidence across application lifecycles or selected repositories, blocking non-compliant changes. For applications, justified exceptions are tracked as waivers so governance never slows velocity, and releases that pass earn the trusted release badge.

NEW Continuous Governance, Not a Single Point in Time

Governance doesn't stop when a version ships. Every application maps to an owner and criticality level, so risk always has context. Every active production version stays continuously monitored post-release. Expired versions are no longer actively governed.

Audit-Ready By Default

When regulators ask what was shipped, why it was approved, and what was flagged and waived, every answer is already there.

NEW CRA, DORA and NIST SSDF Compliance, Engineered Into Your Pipeline

Enforce pre-mapped compliance frameworks as Policy-as-Code, with no manual policy writing required. Every control mapped and enforced automatically. Real-time coverage scoring so you know exactly where you stand.

NEW Enforce Release Intent with AI Verification Policies

Syntax checks confirm code compiles, but they miss drift from defined requirements. AppTrust uses AI to evaluate releases against plain-language policies, generating signed cryptographic proof that execution matches intent.

Signed Evidence Across Your Toolchain

AppTrust auto-collects evidence from the security, quality, deployment, and change-management tools your teams already run.

DevGovOps: Unifying DevOps and Governance

AppTrust embeds security, quality, and compliance into your software supply chain. Every team gets a single view of what shipped, what passed, and what’s auditable.

Frequently Asked Questions

JFrog AppTrust is the software supply chain governance layer of the JFrog Platform. It makes compliance a natural output of every release, not a retrospective exercise. Every release is automatically evidenced, gated, and verifiable, so your teams ship at speed without the compliance tax.

Software supply chain governance (also known as DevGovOps) is the discipline of enforcing security, quality, and compliance policies continuously across the software development lifecycle. Signed evidence is bound to every artifact as immutable proof of what was built, approved, and released.

JFrog Artifactory is your software System of Record. AppTrust runs natively on top, so every binary carries its policy decisions and signed evidence as it moves through the application lifecycle or between selected repositories.
