Mission Owner — Iron Bank sponsor needed
Platform One's Iron Bank hardened-container registry is invitation-only: you cannot self-register. Onboarding requires a CAC-holding government Mission Owner sponsor. Killinchu is not Iron Bank certified and does not claim to be — this page is the explicit ask.

The ask
We are seeking a government Mission Owner to sponsor killinchu (and the SZL flagship mesh) into Iron Bank / Party Bus so our containers can be hardened, scanned, and accredited for authorize-once / use-many deployment. Defense Unicorns Warhacker (16–19 June 2026, San Diego) is our target venue to make this connection.
What a sponsor unlocks: an Iron Bank onboarding ticket, access to the hardening pipeline, and a path to a Continuous ATO (cATO) on a Platform One DSOP / Big Bang baseline.
What is already done (honest, hardening-ready)
| Item | State | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| DISA STIG / OpenSCAP scan | Real oscap report | /api/killinchu/uds/v1/stig/scan-report/killinchu |
| Iron Bank requirement parity | Audited, honest gaps | /api/killinchu/uds/v1/iron-bank/parity |
| Big Bang chart parity | helm lint/render clean | /api/killinchu/uds/v1/big-bang/parity |
| ZARF air-gap bundle | Built + signed | /uds/zarf |
| SBOM + Sigstore | SPDX/CycloneDX + Rekor | /uds/sbom · /uds/sigstore |
| Iron Bank accreditation | NOT accredited | Requires Mission Owner sponsor (this ask) |
Honest boundary
We will never claim Iron Bank "certified", "accredited", or "approved" until a sponsor
onboards us and the registry issues that status. Until then: UDS Core compatible and
hardening-ready, sponsor pending. Contact: yachay@szlholdings.dev.
