Integrate once, securely deploy to multiple environments
Offline-capable, on-demand updates with UDS Mobile
Pre-integrated, security-vetted software packages from UDS Registry

Utilizing UDS and the CtS (Certificate to Ship) process, the approval time for application upgrades was reduced 90x, from the six-month average to just two days for the Navy.
Using "unicorn" hardened containers a DoD software deployment partner reduced their CVE count by 85% compared to open-source "upstream" equivalents, clearing the path to ATO.
Delivered mission-critical software to the Department of the Navy 4 years ahead of schedule—with NIST 800-53 controls and pre-vetted artifacts accelerating compliance from years to weeks.
Unlock faster, safer deployments with UDS Registry—your hub for secure, pre-vetted software built for defense. Pair it with our fixed pricing and flexible UDS options to streamline procurement and scale confidently.
