GaraTrust protects every artifact you ship — binaries, containers, drivers, packages — with HSM-backed signing, verifiable reproducible builds, and support for all major signing formats.
Attackers exploit every link in the software supply chain — from developer workstations to distribution. GaraTrust provides defense at each stage.
GaraTrust integrates directly into your CI/CD pipeline. Binaries never leave your environment — only a small hash crosses the wire.
GaraTrust is the most technically complete code signing platform on the market — built for enterprises that need security, speed, and coverage across every ecosystem.
Code signing alone is not enough. True supply chain security requires defense at every stage — and GaraTrust covers them all.
GaraTrust covers every stage of the pipeline — from developer workstation to distribution.
As MongoDB’s product portfolio expanded across diverse ecosystems — C++, Python, Node.js, Rust, and more — their home-grown signing solution couldn’t keep up. They needed HSM key protection, native integration across all ecosystems, and a way to reduce the operational burden on engineering.
With GaraTrust, we could keep control of what matters — our keys, our clouds, our HSMs — while still getting a reliable, supported platform.
Simple pricing based on signature volume per year — all formats and integrations included.
GaraTrust scales from small businesses needing a straightforward SaaS code signing solution to mega-enterprises with complex, diverse security requirements across global infrastructure. Whether customer-managed on-prem or highly scalable SaaS, you simply choose your annual signature volume and lock in your subscription fee.
No backward true-ups if you exceed your tier. You simply move to the next tier pricing in your next subscription year.

Answers to the most common questions about GaraTrust’s code signing platform, security architecture, and deployment.
GaraTrust’s patented Automated Hash Validation feature uses reproducible builds to ensure that what is being signed matches what is in the source control repository. By doing this, compromising the build server alone is not sufficient for an attacker to get their malware signed — the attacker must also commit the malware to the source code repository.
This creates an additional barrier the attacker must overcome, and it also leaves a permanent record of the attack that should get detected during code review or scanning. GaraTrust supports both pre-sign (preventative) and post-sign (detective) validation modes.
No. GaraTrust uses a client-side hashing architecture — the signing client hashes the code locally and sends only the small, fixed-length hash value over the network, not the full binary. This means signatures complete in milliseconds regardless of binary size, with minimal network overhead.
For Automated Hash Validation, GaraTrust supports two modes: pre-sign mode validates before signing (highest security, slight latency), and post-sign mode validates after the signature is generated (near-zero latency with detective alerting). Most enterprises use pre-sign for production releases and post-sign for CI builds.
For automated code signing in CI/CD pipelines, GaraTrust supports device authentication, automated hash validation, IP address whitelisting, audit notifications, and granular key permissions. These controls ensure that only authorized build servers can request signatures, and every signing action is logged and traceable.
For manual production code signing — typically done as a ceremonial process — GaraTrust supports multi-factor authentication (MFA), device authentication, quorum-based approval workflows, automated hash validation, IP address whitelisting, just-in-time access, audit notifications, and granular key permissions.
GaraTrust supports a quorum-based approval process where a configurable number of approvers must approve a signing request before the signature is generated. If any approver rejects the request, the signature is not generated.
GaraTrust supports multiple tiers of quorums, each with its own quorum size. For example, you could configure it so that at least three developers must approve a request, followed by at least one tester, followed by a release manager. This provides flexible, multi-level governance for your most sensitive signing operations.
GaraTrust natively supports all major signing formats from a single platform, including: Windows Authenticode, Kernel/WHQL, MSI/MSIX, NuGet, PowerShell, and ClickOnce; Apple macOS, iOS, and notarization; Android APK/AAB; Java JAR; Docker and Notary v2; Linux RPM, DEB, and GPG; PDF and XML/XAdES; Firmware/UEFI; and SBOM signing (in-toto/SLSA).
Yes — GaraTrust integrates with your hardware security module (HSM) of choice to create, store, and use private keys for code signing. All signing keys are stored as non-exportable in FIPS 140-2/3 certified HSMs. GaraTrust supports multi-vendor HSM environments including Thales Luna, Entrust nShield, AWS CloudHSM, Azure Key Vault, Google Cloud KMS, and HashiCorp Vault.
Yes. As part of Automated Hash Validation, GaraTrust can run any set of tools on the source code and/or binaries and use the results as part of the validation process. For example, GaraTrust can be configured to run static analysis tools, fuzzing tools, and malware scanners before approving a signature.
For performance-sensitive environments, GaraTrust’s architecture can offload these tasks to run in parallel with other build steps, reducing overall wall-clock time compared to running them in series on the build server.
Yes. GaraTrust supports both SaaS and on-premises deployment. The on-premises architecture places the signing server between your clients and your HSMs in your own data center. GaraTrust also supports air-gapped environments and classified networks, making it suitable for defense, government, and highly regulated industries.
Yes. The GaraTrust signing infrastructure provides quantum-agile hybrid support, combining classical RSA/ECC and post-quantum primitives. We offer both stateless (ML-DSA) for general purpose software distribution and stateful (LMS) signatures optimized for high-assurance firmware and hardware roots-of-trust.
GaraTrust is part of the Garantir unified cryptographic services platform. Start with code signing and expand into additional use cases — all from a single deployment, one vendor relationship, and one investment.
