Start from a neutral baseline and add what matters to you. Criteria are labeled by source — the platform baseline is architecture-neutral; buyer-contributed criteria are shown separately.
This evaluation is stored in your browser only. We cannot see it, and it is not tied to any account. Save it to a link or create an account to keep it across devices — you can export it at any time either way.
Signing up adds sharing with your team, sending this as an RFP to vendors, and private document sharing. Nothing above is taken away, and nothing here is sent anywhere until you choose to.
Strong answers enumerate which NHI types and sources (cloud, SaaS, CI/CD, on-prem) are covered, and state whether discovery is continuous. Probe coverage gaps for SaaS-to-SaaS tokens and OAuth grants.

Look for secret detection across code, pipelines, and vaults; rotation and remediation; and integration with existing secret managers rather than a rip-and-replace vault.

Evidence-backed answers describe the risk model factors, how ownership is attributed, and prioritization validated by customers — not just a generic severity label.

Neutral strengths and gaps for each vendor in this category, drawn from vendors' own public materials — included so the questions above favor no single vendor. Gaps reflect capabilities not emphasized in public materials, not rankings.

Verified buyers can suggest criteria (anonymized before pooling).
Strong answers show owner attribution, detection of stale/orphaned NHIs, and lifecycle automation, not just a static inventory.

Look for entitlement right-sizing plus secretless/ephemeral (short-lived) workload access and policy enforcement, distinguishing posture recommendations from active enforcement.
Sources: aembit.io · corsha.com · token.security
Strong answers name detected behaviors (anomalous usage, credential abuse), the signals used, and concrete response actions including revocation/rotation.
Sources: token.security · clutch.security · entro.security
Look for discovery of AI-agent/MCP identities, scoped/least-privilege authorization, and just-in-time access — with honest limits, given how new this area is.
Sources: natoma.ai · astrix.security · token.security
Prefer agentless discovery with broad connector coverage and clear downstream integration (SIEM/SOAR/ITDR) over a closed silo. Confirm which connectors are GA vs roadmap.

Similar to other discovery-driven categories (ASM, DSPM): successful NHI discovery inherently increases the counted population — ask explicitly how pricing responds to a large post-onboarding jump in discovered identities/secrets.
Strong answers describe a fast, specific forensic query capability with a real turnaround-time figure — this is one of NHI security's highest-value use cases during an actual breach, not just preventive posture.
Ask for an honest per-cloud coverage breakdown; a vendor with uneven cloud coverage should disclose which environments get shallower treatment rather than implying uniform depth.
Native compliance-evidence generation is materially more valuable than raw findings requiring manual compilation work for every audit cycle.
Look for genuine integration where NHI and PAM data combine into one risk view; two overlapping tools each producing separate, unreconciled findings creates real reconciliation burden for the security team.
A high false-positive rate on risk scoring creates real alert fatigue and erodes trust in the tool — ask for a real, customer-validated accuracy figure and a correction feedback loop.
Automated remediation (not just detection/alerting) is a materially stronger capability, especially given the sheer volume of non-human identities typically discovered — manual-only remediation doesn't scale to that volume.
Trend-over-time reporting is a distinct capability from a real-time current-state inventory — confirm this exists as a maintained, exportable report, not just current-snapshot data.
