VisitGUAC vs Strig
What both publish
| Fact | GUAC | Strig |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | The setup guide starts the GUAC server using Docker Compose and lists Docker, Docker Compose, and jq as prerequisites. | The site describes on-premise, fully air-gapped, and SaaS deployment options; on-premise and air-gapped deployments keep source, binaries, and build records inside the customer network. |
| Purpose | GUAC ingests software metadata such as SBOMs and maps relationships between software to provide supply chain security insights. | Strig monitors firmware builds, records inputs, compile and link events, and outputs, then produces risk findings and signed audit evidence. |
