Security and governance platform for enterprise AI agents: inventory and execution analysis across SaaS, cloud, endpoint and coding agents, posture checks before go-live, runtime Boundaries that allow, block or shut down agent actions, an Evaluate API and OpenTelemetry for custom agents, and Blue Agent for finding triage with human approval. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001.

Zenity is a security and governance platform for the AI agents an enterprise builds and uses. It keeps a live inventory of agents across SaaS platforms, custom and cloud builds, and endpoint and coding agents, and analyzes their execution paths, tool invocations, memory updates, decision flows, RAG queries and file access.

Its capabilities span AI observability, AI security posture management (agent configuration and permissions checked against policy before an agent goes live), exposure management (identity, data and behavior signals correlated into attack paths, with each issue scored 0 to 100), agentic identity and access management, MCP security, and AI detection and response.

Runtime Boundaries evaluate every agent action in real time against the organization's rules and let it through, block it or shut the agent down, in prevention or detection mode, starting from a library of prebuilt rules; a rule written once applies across Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, Agentforce, Bedrock, coding agents and homegrown builds. Custom agents connect through OpenTelemetry for visibility and the Evaluate API for inline enforcement.

Blue Agent, the first of Zenity's Guardian Agents, triages findings and suggests a verdict with its reasoning, and nothing is applied without a human's approval. Zenity holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and ISO 27701, supports SSO, and is in process for FedRAMP.

Integrations

Covers Microsoft Copilot Studio, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Power Platform, Salesforce Agentforce, AWS Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI, ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude Enterprise and ServiceNow, and since August 2026 GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, Microsoft Foundry and Agent 365, plus any agent emitting OpenTelemetry or gen_ai spans. Custom agents call the Evaluate API for inline enforcement. The docs list a CrowdStrike Falcon SIEM integration, and Zenity is available in AWS Security Hub Extended.

In practice

A security team gets a live inventory of the Copilot Studio, Agentforce and Bedrock agents across the company, with identity, data and behavior signals correlated into attack paths scored by how reachable they are.

A custom agent calls Zenity's Evaluate API before it acts, and Boundaries let the action through, block it or shut the agent down in real time.

Blue Agent triages a new finding in suggest mode and proposes a fix, and nothing is applied until an analyst approves it.

Workflow Orchestration Partial

Surface, Enforce and Protect run as a fixed product pipeline, and one Guardian Agent is live, Blue Agent, a triage assistant that works in several steps. There is no coordination among several agents and no flow the customer configures. The Clarity and Correlation agents from earlier descriptions no longer appear.

Knowledge Grounding & RAG Partial

A live inventory covers agents across SaaS, custom and endpoint deployments, with identity, data and behavior signals correlated into attack paths. There is no retrieval layer that an agent queries, and Blue Agent gathers context for each finding.

Sourcezenity.io/platformread 2026-09-28

Human Oversight & Guardrails Full

Blue Agent runs in suggest mode, so nothing it proposes is applied without a person's approval. On the customer's agents, Boundaries let an action through, block it or shut the agent down.

Sourcezenity.io/blog/august-2026-product-updatesread 2026-09-28

Security, Identity & Governance Full

Attestations on the trust center cover SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and ISO 27701, with full reports on request. Account setup offers SSO through Azure AD and Okta or generic SAML and OIDC, along with an IP allowlist and encryption keys the customer manages. FedRAMP is in process, not authorized.

Sourcedocs.zenity.io/ssoread 2026-09-28

Observability & Auditability Full

The customer's agents are analyzed in context: execution paths, tool invocations and memory updates, along with decision flows, RAG queries and file access. Each agent has an activity record, and spans from custom agents come in through OpenTelemetry, so every tool call the customer's agents make is on record.

Sourcezenity.io/platform/ai-observabilityread 2026-09-28

Memory & State Persistence Partial

Blue Agent's triage guidelines are generated at onboarding and persist for the organization, and the agent suggests revisions when it sees a need. That state persists and the agent maintains it, and Zenity says nothing more about its scope or lifetime.

Sourcezenity.io/blog/august-2026-product-updatesread 2026-09-28

Deployment & Data Residency Partial

Commercial customers get SaaS on AWS. A federal deployment inside Knox Systems' platform is in process for FedRAMP, a second environment not yet authorized. There is no region list or option to host in the customer's own environment. Encryption keys the customer manages protect data but do not set where it lives, and the agent platforms Zenity covers are not where it is hosted.

Prebuilt Agents, Templates & Packs Partial

A library of prebuilt Boundaries rules and a snippet library of prebuilt examples ship without a named catalog, and one Guardian Agent, Blue Agent, is live. There is no named set of prebuilt agents.

Sourcezenity.io/platform/runtime-boundariesread 2026-09-28

Triggers & Channel Coverage Full

Boundaries check every agent action in real time as it happens, in prevention or detection mode, and Blue Agent triages findings as they arrive, so events start the work with no one launching it.

Model Flexibility & Routing Not documented

No model provider, choice or routing is named for Blue Agent or the platform's analysis. Zenity covers agents built on many models, which does not give its customers a choice of model for Zenity itself.

Sourcezenity.io/platformread 2026-09-28

APIs, SDKs & MCP Extensibility Full

The Evaluate API lets customers' custom agents call Zenity for inline enforcement decisions on their actions, alongside OpenTelemetry ingestion. It has a public documentation page, Custom Agents: Evaluate API, but the page shows no reference content.

Sourcedocs.zenity.io/integration/custom-agents-evaluate-apiread 2026-09-28

Testing, Debugging & Optimization Partial

Before anything goes live, the customer's agents are checked for configuration and permissions against policy, and attack paths that correlated signals show to be reachable are scored from 0 to 100. That validates configuration. There is no red teaming or scored test run against the customer's agents.

Browser & Computer Use Not documented

Zenity governs other agents, browser and endpoint agents among them, and does not drive an interface itself or use a browser or computer.

Product updates

·Human approval / guardrailsVerified

Zenity now supports tool call validation in Anthropic's Inference Hooks for Claude Enterprise, so each tool call Claude proposes is held for an allow or deny verdict from Zenity before it runs. Zenity Boundaries can block write, delete and execute operations, calls to MCP servers outside a reviewed list, and actions traced to prompt injection, with one configuration covering claude.ai, Cowork, Claude Code, Claude in Chrome, Claude for Microsoft 365 and Claude Tag. Nothing is installed on endpoints, and customers ask their account team to turn on enforcement.
