Design Partner Program

Build the Standard for Agent Security

We are selecting a limited number of design partners to shape how agent identity, integrity, and runtime enforcement work at scale.

Get direct access to core engineering, influence the roadmap, and deploy self-hosted control planes when they become available.

Why join as a design partner?

Standard SaaS security tools were not built for autonomous agents that talk to each other.

🏗️

Shape the roadmap

Your requirements become our priority. We work with you to design registry, policy, and observability features on top of the Guard and CLI you are already running.

🏢

Self-hosted control plane in design

Keep agent metadata and enforcement logs entirely inside your infrastructure. We provide containers and integrations. You keep full control of keys, decisions, and data.

🛡️

Agent hardening audits

We review your agent architecture, identify identity spoofing and tampering risks, and help you roll out the SimpleGuard standard correctly across services and environments.

Enterprise capabilities

All engagements start from what exists today: CapiscIO Guard, Sidecar, and CLI. Design partners help shape what comes next.

Guard and Sidecar rollouts

  • Standardize identity, integrity, and freshness checks across Python services and polyglot microservices
  • Fail closed on spoofed agents, tampered payloads, and replayed calls
  • Roll out SimpleGuard policies gradually per environment and per team

Custom policy surfaces in design

Go beyond basic identity checks. Define rules on top of Guard's enforcement decisions.

  • Restrict which agents can call which endpoints or tools
  • Require specific key sets and environments for high-risk operations
  • Express policies close to the runtime so latency stays negligible

Private registry and catalog in design

Maintain an internal view of which agents exist, who owns them, and where they run.

  • Internal catalog of approved agents and versions
  • Link registry entries to real Guard and CLI events rather than spreadsheets
  • Role-aware views for platform, security, and application teams

Deep integration with your stack

Connect CapiscIO into the systems you already use.

  • GitHub Actions and GitLab runners that enforce Guard semantics in CI
  • Export decision events to Datadog, Splunk, ELK, or OpenTelemetry
  • Webhooks for allow or block events from Guard and Sidecar

Strategic support

More than ticket support. We act as a partner on the architecture.

  • Design and review of agent security patterns
  • Help defining identity and enforcement standards across teams
  • Direct access to engineering through a shared channel

What design partners get

Identity, integrity, freshness as a baseline

Use CapiscIO Guard and Sidecar to enforce Ed25519 identity, SHA-256 payload integrity, and strict replay windows on every agent request.

A voice in registry and governance

Help define how registry entries, trust signals, and policy enforcement should look in real production environments rather than on a slide.

Commercial and support advantages

Priority support, early access to hosted components when they are ready, and favorable terms for long-term use.
