The Agentic Governability Index
22 products, no two alike.

176 controls across 22 products, each graded on one question: whose infrastructure enforces, yours or the vendor’s. Grades name ownership, not console quality. Every cell carries a tiered receipt from the vendor’s own documentation, re-verified quarterly; when a vendor ships something that changes a grade, we change the grade in public.

How to read this

Grades name who owns the enforcement point: Green = full controllability, enforcement lives in the organization’s own control fabric (gateway, IdP tenant, own cloud account, MDM-authored policy, network, SIEM). Yellow = limited controllability, the vendor’s plane configured by the org. Red = no controllability, vendor-controlled. ∅ = security gap, no control surface exists. Click any well for the grade, the reasoning, and the tiered vendor documentation that proves it (T1 = vendor docs, T2 = vendor blogs and announcements, T3 = independent corroboration). Click a column to sort. Violet * = requires high engineering effort; the panel carries the detail. Amber ✱ = activation state: the grade is a ceiling, and the asterisk marks potential energy (opt-in, tier-gated, deployment-gated, build-required, preview, or gateway-dependent; the panel names which). On the A2A column, n/a means not applicable, and that is not a gap: single-principal tools have no cross-boundary agent surface to govern. ∅ elsewhere means a genuine security gap: no control surface exists. Guardrail wells carry a class tag: C = content safety, A = action approval. Click a Containment well to see which of the six layers reach that product: gateway credential, human identity, agent/NHI identity, product admin, network, endpoint.

Logging columns are deliberately split: RT Logging grades mechanism and latency (Green = stream or push arriving at a destination the organization controls, shipped or preview), Log Quality grades the four essentials (prompt/response content, agent actions, cost attribution, identity, human and agent; Red = one or more missing by any documented means). Data Boundary grades whether the org can enforce retention control, training-use exclusion, and residency, with its own levers where possible. Full rubrics, the T1 to T4 evidence policy, and the agentgateway baseline are in the methodology.

Three findings

Read the chart the way a security architect has to. Row by row.

FINDING 01

No two rows match

Twenty-two products on the main board, twenty-two governance postures. The operational cost of that variance lands on one team: yours.

FINDING 02

The gateway can’t see everything

A gateway is a control point, not a control plane. Containment happens at six layers across these products, and only seven of the twenty-two on the main board give the agent an identity you can cut without cutting the human.

FINDING 03

“Off by default” means off

The richest logging in this index is not flowing until someone turns it on. Treat every “available” control as absent until you watch it fire.

Changelog

Every grade that has ever changed, newest first. We publish our own corrections first.

2026-07
v1.0 · Initial publication under the final ownership methodology. 22 products, 8 control surfaces, 176 graded cells, every receipt tiered T1 to T4 and re-verified against current vendor documentation. Grades name who owns the enforcement point: Green is full controllability, the organization’s own control fabric; Yellow is limited controllability, the vendor’s plane configured by the org; Red is no controllability, vendor-controlled; ∅ is a security gap, no control surface. Scope: SDK-class entries (code libraries such as the OpenAI Agents SDK) fall outside the board’s eligibility rule, enterprise-adoptable products with an admin surface, and are not graded.

Conflicts. Three facts belong in the same paragraph. Zaun sells the org-owned control fabric this index grades toward. Zaun’s flagship case study is an Anthropic-adoption story. And the only two rows that grade full controllability on every applicable surface are Anthropic products. The lens still holds, and here is how to check it without trusting us: every cell carries tiered vendor documentation, the methodology is published, and the dispute channel below is public. What would change these grades: vendor documentation showing an org-owned enforcement point we missed, or showing that one we credited does not exist. Disclosure: Zaun has no commercial relationship with Anthropic. We use Anthropic products internally, and our platform can integrate Anthropic models for customer inference, the same optionality we hold with other providers on this board. No graded vendor paid for placement, reviewed a grade before publication, or has revenue ties to Zaun.

Are you a vendor on this board? If we have you wrong, show us the doc and we fix it in public: [email protected]. Every dispute is investigated against the documentation and resolved in this public changelog. Disputes may target grades, activation states, or receipts, and every changed cell gets a dated entry.

Get notified when a grade changes

The index is re-validated quarterly against primary vendor documentation. Grade changes land here first. And this board covers 22 products; your environment is running more than that. The Reagent discovery scan reads the tools you already have and shows you your own board, no new sensor.
