Profiles with our own verdict

1Password

AgileBits Inc., trading as 1Password, Toronto, Canada · credential management

Prevents falling behind

Holds a company’s passwords, keys and credentials in vaults with permissions per person and group, so that access is withdrawn in one place when somebody leaves instead of living on in browsers, spreadsheets and chat histories.

Off-the-shelf productEstablished, AI retrofittedSolo: suitable, Mid-market: suitable, Enterprise: suitable

Credo AI

Credo.AI Corp. · AI governance and model registry

Prevents falling behind

Keeps every AI use case, model and AI vendor in one register, attaches to each entry the approvals and evidence a regulation or a customer asks for, and records who decided what and when.

Off-the-shelf productAI-nativeSolo: not suitable, Mid-market: suitable with caveats, Enterprise: suitable

Infisical

Infisical, Inc. · secrets management

Prevents falling behind

Keeps credentials, keys and certificates in one place, hands them out only to verified humans and machines, and logs every issue. That takes passwords out of chat threads, spreadsheets and source code.

Building blockEstablishedSolo: suitable, Mid-market: suitable, Enterprise: suitable with caveats

Langfuse

Langfuse GmbH, Berlin (owned by ClickHouse, Inc. since 2026-01-16) · model call logging

Prevents falling behind

Once you build language models into a product, you cannot see what the model was asked, what it answered, what the call cost, or whether a prompt change improved or degraded quality. Langfuse records every model call, versions the prompts and scores answers against fixed test cases.

Building blockAI-nativeSolo: suitable, Mid-market: suitable, Enterprise: suitable with caveats

LiteLLM

Berrie AI Incorporated (BerriAI) · model gateway

Prevents falling behind

Puts one uniform interface in front of many model providers, so keys, cost, limits and logs sit in one place instead of scattered across every service that calls a model.

Building blockAI-nativeSolo: suitable with caveats, Mid-market: suitable, Enterprise: suitable with caveats

Nudge Security

Nudge Security, Inc. · AI usage visibility

Prevents falling behind

Shows which AI and SaaS services are actually in use across a company, and what access rights those services hold on company data, without anyone having to survey the staff.

Off-the-shelf productEstablished, AI retrofittedSolo: not suitable, Mid-market: suitable, Enterprise: suitable with caveats

Ory

Ory Corp (EU-Vertretung: Ory Germany GmbH, München) · identity and access

Prevents falling behind

Sign-in, registration, sessions, multi-factor and access rights have to work in every product with more than one user. Ory supplies that layer either as a hosted service or as open source servers you run yourself.

Building blockEstablishedSolo: suitable with caveats, Mid-market: suitable, Enterprise: suitable with caveats

Tailscale

Tailscale US Inc. (Delaware) for contracts from 2024-09-03, before that Tailscale Inc. (Toronto) · internal system access

Prevents falling behind

Ties access to servers, databases and internal services to a person's identity rather than to a network cable, a VPN account or a shared password. When someone leaves, access disappears with the account.

Off-the-shelf productEstablishedSolo: suitable, Mid-market: suitable, Enterprise: suitable with caveats

Usercentrics

Usercentrics GmbH, Munich, Germany · consent management

Prevents falling behind

Blocks every script on a website that requires consent, shows visitors a dialogue in which they choose, and files each decision with its timestamp and version in a log that can be downloaded.

Off-the-shelf productEstablished, AI retrofittedSolo: suitable, Mid-market: suitable, Enterprise: suitable

Vanta

Vanta, Inc., San Francisco, California, USA · evidence automation

Prevents falling behind

Continuously pulls the state of the connected systems, checks it against the control catalogues of SOC 2, ISO 27001 and further frameworks, and files the evidence so that an auditor can accept it without an intermediate step.
