Package governance

One tool for curation, security, and reproducibility

  • Centralize packages from any source

    Build repositories from CRAN, PyPI, Bioconductor, internal sources, and Open VSX extensions. Curate approved sources. SSO, audit logging, and more give IT confident control.

    Git Builders automatically build and publish new versions.

  • Surface vulnerabilities before they spread

    Every package is checked against known CVEs so security teams can assess risk before production. Apply blocklist rules based on CVE score, license type, or custom metadata, with allowlist overrides. Runs fully air-gapped where needed.

  • Lock environments to a point in time

    Date-based snapshots capture exact package versions from CRAN, PyPI, and Bioconductor. When auditors ask to reproduce last year's results or a pharma team needs to recreate a validated submission environment, the infrastructure is ready.

NMDP

NMDP is revolutionizing the transplant process by using machine learning to predict donor availability across its global registry of 42 million people. By leveraging Posit Connect and Snowflake to automate daily "Donor Readiness Scores," the organization empowers physicians to prioritize the most available matches, directly accelerating the path to life-saving cures.

Gen Re

Gen Re's underwriting team processes roughly 1,500 insurance submissions daily, and with Posit, what once took 30 minutes now takes 5. By unifying 230 data scientists and actuaries across 7 global offices on a single governed platform, Gen Re replaced fragmented spreadsheet workflows with scalable, auditable analytics built for a regulated global business.

Speed and reliability

R and Python packages that install in seconds

Pre-built Linux binaries for CRAN packages cut installation from minutes to seconds. No compilation, no missing build dependencies, no support tickets. Covers Ubuntu, RHEL, SUSE, ARM64, and current R versions.

Repositories use standard CRAN and PyPI-compatible formats. Point pip, install.packages, or renv at a Package Manager URL and start installing. No proprietary clients, just a URL swap.

Licensing is based on tier and deployment, not on the number of users or downloads. As your teams grow, your cost stays the same.
