Mycroft vs Zania (2026)

Mycroft has 24 integrations across clouds (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Cloudflare, Heroku, Vercel), code hosts (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps), identity (Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace, 1Password), devices (Jamf), HR (Deel, Employment Hero, BambooHR, Zoho People) and work tools (Jira, Asana, Linear, ServiceNow, Slack), all read only by default. The two scoped write paths are "creating remediation tickets in one project you nominate in Jira, Linear or Asana, and posting notifications to Slack channels you invite it to". Those are the only places Mycroft acts in outside systems.

Agents pull evidence from connected systems named as AWS, GitHub and Slack, open pull requests that carry configuration changes into the customer's repository, and suggest configuration changes, routing approvals to owners. Implementation connects the customer's GRC and procurement systems, along with ticketing and identity. There is no framework for customers to add tools, and the named connector list is short.

AI agents scope compliance boundaries, generate policies, risk registers, SSPs and POA&Ms, implement controls, configure the security stack and collect evidence. Plans carry Basic, Expanded and Customized agentic AI workflows, and the customized ones are delivered by Mycroft's own team, with a dedicated CISO on the Managed plan. Mycroft names no flow the customer configures, no branching and no agents coordinating with each other.

Agents run the compliance lifecycle end to end. They collect and map evidence, test how each control is designed and how it operates, and detect issues, then rank them by risk, route them to owners and open remediation pull requests, following up until each is resolved. Issues move from detected and routed through remediation to resolved, and control mappings, ownership and approval workflows can be set to fit the customer's program.

SourceZania, zania.ai/compliance/soc2read 2026-09-06

Integrations "continuously test the controls" on their own schedule, daily for infrastructure settings, and failures open remediation tickets and Slack notifications without a user starting a run. Every plan includes 24/7/365 threat intelligence and monitoring.

SourceMycroft, mycroft.io/integrations and /pricingread 2026-10-06

The agents start on a schedule and on events. Continuous monitoring and reassessment triggers are included, evidence collection runs continuously with hourly refresh timestamps and a last test run time, and issues found in controls testing go to owners for remediation automatically. Users also work through the web application and Slack.

SourceZania, zania.ai/pricing and zania.ai/compliance/soc2read 2026-09-06

Integrations continuously test the controls that depend on each system and "store the results as dated evidence", from daily checks of encryption, logging and IAM configuration to the account inventory and the pull request approval behind every production change. The agents draft policies, system descriptions and SSPs from that evidence and the framework requirements. Mycroft does not say how the agents retrieve from it.

SourceMycroft, mycroft.io/integrationsread 2026-10-06

Evidence collected from the customer's environment is kept current and mapped to controls, and it carries across frameworks automatically, so one evidence library serves SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA, along with GDPR and PCI DSS. Every finding and answer links back to its source, and auditors see the evidence tied to each control and what changed over time. Processing on the model side is stateless.

SourceZania, zania.ai/compliance/soc2read 2026-09-06

Dated control evidence is kept for each customer, but Mycroft names no memory its agents keep, what it would hold or for how long.

SourceMycroft, mycroft.io and /integrationsread 2026-10-06

Zania keeps a stateless data policy. Data sent to the model exists in memory only for the duration of the request, context is discarded when the agent finishes its task, and assessment data and session logs are eligible for deletion on completion. So the agents keep no memory from one task to the next. The evidence library mapped to controls persists between runs as the customer's knowledge, not as agent memory.

Every integration is read only by default, and Mycroft "cannot create, modify or delete resources, reset credentials or change policy". Its only writes go to one ticket project the customer nominates and to Slack channels it is invited to, and the customer decides both. Mycroft's experts handle every required change, and Mycroft names no approval step for agent actions.

SourceMycroft, mycroft.io/integrations and mycroft.ioread 2026-10-06

The agent routes each remediation pull request to a named owner, and it needs approval before merge inside Zania's own remediation log. Approval workflows can be set to match the customer's review process, and browser automation runs with human oversight. Plans include unlimited reviewer seats with human approval workflows, and deterministic guardrails, not driven by AI, validate agent decisions on critical workflows. The approval routing and review surface are Zania's own. The merge itself happens in the code host.

The platform holds SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 42001 certification and FedRAMP 20x Class A, all published in Mycroft's trust center. Platform controls include application authentication, role based access and user segregation.

Zania holds SOC 2 Type II certification with ongoing third party penetration testing, and a trust center at trust.zania.ai holds the reports. Customers get SAML single sign on with Okta, Azure AD and Google, granular role based access control that maps permissions to job responsibilities, and session restrictions that scope which datasets, tools and sessions a user can reach.

Integrations test controls on a schedule, such as encryption, logging and IAM configuration daily, and store the results as dated evidence, and every plan includes 24/7/365 threat intelligence and monitoring. Those report on the customer's estate, and Mycroft names no log or trace of what its agents did.

SourceMycroft, mycroft.io/integrations and /pricingread 2026-10-06

Every system interaction, AI agent actions included, is logged with a timestamp and user ID in immutable audit logs customers can see at any time. Every output carries a source reference, an evidence trail and a confidence score, remediation logs record each agent step, and auditors see the reasoning behind decisions and what changed over time.

Hosting is SaaS, primarily on GCP in Canada and the US. Mycroft names no customer choice of region and no option to run in the customer's environment.

Sourcetrust.mycroft.ioread 2026-09-28

Customers can choose where their data lives to meet local regulations, which Zania states in a single line, alongside private model hosting on isolated Microsoft Azure infrastructure with virtual networks and private endpoints, and strict logical isolation per customer. There is no region list, customer environment option or selection surface, and Zania does not show how residency is chosen.

SourceZania, zania.ai/securityread 2026-09-06

The agents work from named framework packs for CMMC, FedRAMP, CPCSC, SOC 2, GDPR, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, CPRA/CCPA and PIPEDA, and generate policies, risk registers, SSPs and POA&Ms. The agents themselves are not named. Every plan adds a full GRC platform, a CNAPP, security, AI and privacy awareness training and a trust center. Scale adds penetration testing and continuous third party risk management, and Managed adds customized frameworks.

SourceMycroft, mycroft.io and /pricingread 2026-10-06

Named agents ship for a customer to adopt, covering third party and vendor risk assessment, security questionnaire automation and controls testing, along with evidence collection through the Zania Evidence Agent. Prebuilt control mappings for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS and ISO 42001 are adopted and adapted by the customer, and they do work once selected. Take away the questionnaire agent and controls testing and evidence collection still work whole. The agents are listed by function on marketing pages, not in a catalog.

The model behind the agents goes unnamed, and Mycroft names no customer choice of model. Its subprocessor list includes no LLM provider.

Sourcetrust.mycroft.ioread 2026-09-28

Zania hosts its own models privately and in isolation on Microsoft Azure and refers to its foundation models without saying who makes them, so no model provider is named. Customers and admins cannot select a model, and there is no routing across providers on Zania's side.

Integrations pull data into Mycroft rather than exposing Mycroft to other systems, using read only credentials on systems the customer already runs. Mycroft names no API, SDK or MCP server.

SourceMycroft, mycroft.io/integrationsread 2026-10-06

There is no API, SDK or MCP server that lets an outside caller drive the platform. The site's navigation and footer, from Products and Security to Pricing and the status page, carry no developer link, and there is no docs subdomain. Zania's integrations are its agents reaching the customer's systems, and claims of API access and MCP integrations come only from third parties.

SourceZania, zania.ai/security and zania.ai/pricingread 2026-09-06

Continuous control testing and penetration testing on the Scale plan test the customer's estate, and Mycroft names no harness, scored test cases or quality gate for its own agents. Customers report results such as Weave going from zero to SOC 2 in under 30 days and Unified cutting its SOC 2 time by 90%.

SourceMycroft, mycroft.io/pricing and mycroft.ioread 2026-10-06

Controls testing, with pass, partial and confidence results, measures the customer's controls, which is the product's job and not a test of the agent. The output validation layer and the confidence score on every answer are checks on each output at run time. There is no harness, scored test cases or release gate for a change to the agents or to the workflows a customer configures.

Mycroft works through read only API integrations and names no agent that operates a browser or desktop.

SourceMycroft, mycroft.io/integrationsread 2026-10-06

The evidence agent collects directly through browser automation, with human oversight, where no native integration exists. Access review screenshots and endpoint security configuration are captured that way, beside evidence pulled from AWS, GitHub and Slack. So an agent Zania operates drives a real interface Zania does not control, because no programmatic interface exists. Zania does not say whether the browser is hosted by Zania or runs locally.
