Spec score 7.4 #9 of 26 in Identity Governance and Administration Software

What it is

ConductorOne, also called C1 Identity Governance, automates identity lifecycle, access, and compliance controls for human, non-human, and AI-agent identities. HR and directory events can drive account and access changes, while users receive self-service requests, provisioning, and birthright access. Governance functions include access reviews and separation-of-duties conflict detection. C1 lists more than 400 prebuilt connectors, including AWS, Google Workspace, Active Directory, ServiceNow, Microsoft Entra ID, GitHub, Salesforce, Okta, Workday, Slack, and Snowflake. Connectors may run in C1.ai or customer infrastructure, and the framework can be extended for custom applications. Developers can use REST APIs, generated SDKs, Terraform, connectors, webhooks, and MCP. Deployment is listed as hybrid, with web, API, and self-hosted platforms. C1 says tenant data is isolated, encrypted in layers, and protected with TLS 1.2 or higher in transit, plus mutual TLS internally. Its control domains are reviewed in an annual SOC 2 Type II audit. Pricing is paid and available on request.
