Comparison
Both Agentic Fabriq and Keycard work on identity for AI agents. They differ in scope: Keycard focuses on authentication primitives, while Fabriq delivers an end-to-end identity, permissioning, brokering, and audit layer built to plug into existing enterprise IAM.
| Capability | Keycard | Agentic Fabriq |
|---|---|---|
| Founding focus | Agent authentication primitives | End-to-end identity + permissioning + audit for AI agents |
| Per-agent identity | Yes | Yes — bound to the user who deployed the agent |
| Action-level policy enforcement | Limited | Per-tool, per-action scopes evaluated on every call |
| MCP server authentication | Supported | First-class support, including scope checks and revocation |
| OAuth token brokering | Partial | Hosted broker handles flows, storage, refresh, and revocation |
| Audit trail | Authentication events | Every agent action with full context (agent, user, tool, IO, outcome) |
| Integration with Okta / Azure AD / Google Workspace | Limited | Drop-in — Fabriq inherits identity from existing IdPs |
| Compliance posture | Developing | Built for SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR-bound deployments |
Both address identity for AI agents. Keycard focuses on agent authentication primitives. Agentic Fabriq provides an end-to-end layer: per-agent identity bound to users, action-level scopes evaluated on every tool call, hosted OAuth brokering, complete audit trails, one-click revocation, and drop-in integration with existing identity providers like Okta and Azure AD.
Choose Agentic Fabriq when you need a production-ready, compliance-friendly layer that covers identity, permissioning, OAuth brokering, and audit — not just authentication. Fabriq is purpose-built to plug into existing enterprise IAM stacks, which makes it the better fit for teams deploying agents into Okta/Azure-AD-managed environments under SOC 2, HIPAA, or GDPR.
Yes. Some teams use Keycard for low-level agent authentication primitives and Agentic Fabriq for the permissioning, brokering, audit, and revocation layer on top. Fabriq is designed to integrate with whatever authentication source you already use.
