|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 8.70 | 7.05 | +1.65 | Position 1 | Position 5= |
| Agent identity and ownership (20) | 10 | 7 | +3 | Every agent is linked to an accountable owner in an identity graph that resolves a person's accounts across identity providers, directories and HR systems. nc-discover | It keeps a chain of custody from human to agent to actions. oa-aam |

| Runtime authorization and human approval (20) | 10 | 8 | +2 | Every tool call is checked by one policy engine that allows, asks or denies, and an agent can never approve its own action. nc-secure, nc-govern | Access is evaluated in real time, per action and per purpose, with escalation for write operations. oa-aam |
| Discovery of unregistered agents (10) | 8 | 5 | +3 | Read-only integrations find agents without registration and trace access paths outside SSO. nc-discover | Posture checks exist, but discovery of unregistered agents is not detailed. oa-aam |
| Standards (10) | 5 | 3 | +2 | Public material names SAML, OIDC and an MCP server registry, but not OAuth 2.1, SPIFFE or Cross App Access. nc-foundation, nc-secure | No standards are named in the public material read. oa-aam |
| Buying clarity (5) | 5 | 5 | 0 | There is no list price, though an AWS Marketplace listing with custom units gives a procurement path. nc-aws | There is no public price, and the product is now part of Cyera. cy-close |
