Stella Ops
Stella Ops is the sovereign, SBOM‑first security platform that proves every container decision with deterministic scans, explainable policy verdicts, and offline‑ready provenance.
- Sovereign by design – bring your own trust roots, vulnerability advisory sources, VEX sources, regional crypto, and Offline Update Kits that never phone home.
- Deterministic + replayable – every scan can be reproduced bit‑for‑bit with DSSE + OpenVEX evidence.
- Actionable signal – lattice logic ranks exploitability, and the policy engine lets you tailor VEX handling, muting, and expiration rules for your environment.
Proof points: SBOM dependency and vulnerability dependency cartographing work, deterministic replay manifests, lattice policy UI with OpenVEX, and post‑quantum trust packs ready for regulated sectors.

Explore the Essentials
- Value in context – Overview compresses the “Why” + “What” stories and shows how Stella Ops stands apart.
- Try it fast – Quickstart walks through fetching the signed bundles, configuring
.env, and verifying the first scan. - Feature confidence – Key Features gives five capability cards covering Delta SBOM, VEX-first policy, Sovereign crypto, Deterministic replay, and Transparent quotas.
- Up-next checkpoints – Evaluation checklist helps teams plan Day-0 to Day-30 adoption milestones.
- Be dev-ready – Developer Quickstart (29-Nov-2025 advisory) walks through the core repos, determinism tests, attestations, and starter issues for a mid-level .NET engineer.
Key capabilities that define Stella Ops
| Capability | What ships | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Deterministic Δ‑SBOM & replay bundles | Layer-aware cache + replay manifests keep scans reproducible even months later. | Auditors can re-run any verdict with identical inputs, proving integrity without SaaS dependencies. |
| Pristine advisory mirrors | OSV, GHSA, NVD, CNVD, CNNVD, ENISA, JVN, BDU, etc. are mirrored as immutable, per-source snapshots—never merged. | Policy (via scanner.* / SCANNER__*) can trust, down-rank, or ignore sources without rewriting upstream data. |
| Lattice VEX engine | OpenVEX, waivers, mitigations, and configs flow through deterministic lattice logic. | Every block/allow decision is explainable, replayable, and environment-specific. |
| Context fabric | Static reachability now, optional runtime/eBPF probes at GA so build + runtime signals share one verdict. | Prioritisation spans first-party code, base images, and live telemetry. |
| Transparency log + trust credits | Cosign/DSSE bundles push to a Rekor-compatible log; the trust-credit ledger records who accepted a risk. | Compliance teams get provenance plus accountable ownership trails. |
| Sovereign crypto profiles | Swap in FIPS, eIDAS, GOST, SM, or PQ-ready providers without code changes. | Meets regional crypto rules while keeping attestations verifiable. |
| Offline-first operations | Offline Kit packages the pristine feeds, plug-ins, and configs; import CLI verifies everything locally. | Air-gapped clouds get the same security posture as connected sites. |
| Enterprise readiness | Transparent quotas, LDAP/AD SSO, restart-time plug-in SDK, generous free tier. | Large teams keep their workflows without surrendering control to SaaS platforms. |
Where Stella Ops differs from incumbents
| Vendor | Where they stop | Stella Ops difference |
|---|---|---|
| Trivy / Syft | SBOM generation as a CLI add-on; policy left to other products. | SBOM + VEX are the system of record with deterministic replay and signed evidence. |
| Snyk Container | Static reachability bounded to first-party code. | Lattice links code, base images, cluster policies, and optional runtime probes so the entire stack shares one score. |
| JFrog Xray | Contextual scoring lives behind a closed service. | Policies, DSSE bundles, and transparency logs are open, auditable, and portable. |
| Docker Scout | Provenance remains inside Docker’s ecosystem. | Any OCI provenance is ingested, signed with your crypto profile, and replayed offline. |
| Wiz / runtime sensors | Runtime telemetry is separate from build-time SBOM/VEX evidence. | Optional runtime probes feed the same deterministic lattice so build- and run-time context stay consistent. |
