Decionis vs Descope Agentic Identity Hub
Descope filters scopes when it issues or exchanges a token. Decionis binds authority to the exact action and re-evaluates before commit.

When is Descope Agentic Identity Hub the better choice?
- You need agent identity and OAuth token management.
- Your primary requirement is scoped access to APIs and third-party connections.
- Procurement requires established certifications: Descope reports SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001 and FedRAMP High, plus HIPAA compliance and a PCI DSS SAQ-D attestation.
- Decionis does not hold those certifications yet. Its Ed25519-signed Decision Dossiers and single-use execution grants are architecture evidence, and they do not replace that procurement requirement.

What changes at the execution boundary?
| Dimension | Decionis | Descope Agentic Identity Hub |
|---|---|---|
| Control boundary | One exact action, with authority re-evaluated immediately before commit. | Policies determine token scopes; the resource validates the token on each request. This does not imply that resource servers cannot add their own action checks. |
| Evidence | Signed Decision Dossier; verify the covered artifacts with the appropriate public keys, without an account. | The cited policy guide describes scoped tokens, not a portable signature over each action's policy decision. |
| Deployment responsibility | The integrating host must isolate credentials, prevent bypass and enforce the decision. | Evaluate the chosen deployment and its enforcement boundary; a product category is not evidence of a specific installation. |
| Procurement posture | Ed25519-signed Decision Dossiers · single-use execution grants. These pages compare engineering and architecture, not certifications; current audit status is on the Trust Center. | Obtain current assurance documents and check the service and deployment they cover. |
Decionis contract: enforce-and-bind, claim-before-commit and finalize. Signature validity is separate from execution eligibility and downstream effect confirmation.
Can these controls work together?
Use Descope for identity and scoped access. Place Decionis at the consequential action boundary when exact parameters, fresh authority and portable evidence are also required.

This preloaded dossier has real Ed25519 signatures over synthetic data from the public Agent-Safe corpus. Its test key is deliberately public. It demonstrates verification and tamper detection; it is not customer evidence, a production signature, or permission to execute.

After the page or files load, the signature checks need no network. Installing the CLI may require a connection. Valid signatures establish integrity relative to the selected key, not whether the original facts were true.
