Cyphrex vs Oasis

Oasis issues scoped, ephemeral access for AI agents.

Cyphrex is the decide-and-prove layer — every action checked, every decision recorded in a trail you can verify.

One sentence

Oasis issues the seat and scopes the access. Cyphrex proves the act: who approved, what was touched, and what stayed blocked.

Who each is for

Oasis

Agentic Access Management / NHI

Oasis issues scoped, ephemeral access so agents can act without standing privilege, and keeps a prompt-to-action record from intent through policy, session, and action. Oasis is now part of Cyera Identity.

Intent → ephemeral access → session audit.

Cyphrex

Compliance infrastructure for agents

A decide-and-prove layer for teams who will instrument an agent or route its MCP traffic, and who need each decision kept as tamper-evident evidence.

Enforce the action → tamper-evident evidence.

Capability comparison

Capability	Oasis	Cyphrex
Intent-based / ephemeral agent access (JIT, least privilege)	Strong fit (AAM)	Not the primary job
NHI discovery + credential lifecycle	Strong fit	Per-agent identity you register
PAM-style elevation for agent workflows	Strong fit	Policy profiles / `check()` on instrumented path
Runtime allow / block on agent actions	AAM policy before data access	`check()` + MCP gateway before execution
Tamper-evident, independently verifiable decision record	Session audit: prompt → intent → policy → action	Ed25519-signed packages + public /verify
Who approved / what touched / what stayed blocked	Access + session custody for identity teams	Compliance receipt for auditors, insurers, legal

When Oasis is the better fit

The pain is standing privilege and long-lived tokens for agents and non-human identities.
You need ephemeral, intent-scoped access issued per session.
The buying center is IAM, NHI, or PAM, not compliance evidence packaging.
You want a prompt-to-action chain of custody inside an access platform.
You are standardizing on Cyera and Oasis for data and identity together.

When Cyphrex is the better fit

Legal, risk, or compliance asks for a receipt: who approved the step, what was touched, and whether a blocked action stayed blocked.
You need evidence a third party can verify without trusting the vendor UI.
Builders will instrument agents or route MCP through a gateway and want decide, enforce, and prove in one path.
You already have, or will buy, NHI and agentic access management elsewhere. The missing piece is the durable decide-and-prove trail.
Regulated buyers want a signed, hash-bound action history, not only access telemetry.

Better together

Oasis answers what access the agent got, and for how long. Cyphrex answers what that actor was allowed to do on each step, and proves it.

What Cyphrex evidence proves

What a signed report contains

Agent
Action and resource
Allowed or blocked
Rule and violations
Timestamp

How verification works

Every Cyphrex evidence package is signed with Ed25519 and bound with SHA-256. On /verify, someone can check it without a Cyphrex login.

Compliance mapping

Evidence artifacts map toward SOC 2 / EU AI Act / HIPAA / SR 26-2 style reporting — not certification; details on Trust.

Limits

Cyphrex signs what flows through the SDK check() or the MCP gateway. It does not invent coverage for a path it never saw. Cyphrex is not your auditor.

Frequently asked

Is Cyphrex an Oasis alternative or a complement?

Often a complement. Oasis issues the seat and scopes the access. Cyphrex records what that actor was allowed to do, and proves it. Cyphrex does not replace Oasis.

Does Cyphrex do full NHI discovery?

No. Discovery and credential lifecycle for non-human identities is Oasis’s job. Cyphrex registers a per-agent identity and checks policy on the path you instrument or route.

Are blocked actions recorded as blocked?

Yes. Allowed or blocked is part of the decision record, with the agent, action type, resource, rule, and timestamp.
