Zero standing credentials · Built on the GATE Protocol

Your systems are talking to each other. Nobody is governing that conversation.

Replace long-lived API keys with governed, short-lived access.

Attestr sits between systems as the handshake layer. Teams paste an inert Attestr credential where an API token would normally live. Every machine access request is approved, scoped, and audited before it happens — and Attestr never touches your data.

Zero standing access Nothing usable sits inside the integration at rest.
Policy at execution time Every machine handshake governed before it happens.
We never touch your data We broker the handshake. Your data flows directly between systems.
What Attestr does

Integration or agent

Stores an inert Attestr credential instead of a real long-lived API token.

Target system

Only receives a short-lived token after policy passes and access is allowed.

The problem is not just secret storage.

It is uncontrolled system-to-system access, ungoverned agent actions, and no trustworthy way to prove what happened or why.

Today

Real API keys live inside automations, CI pipelines, SaaS integrations, AI agents, and internal tools — active all the time.
Those keys are active all the time, whether the system is doing anything or not. No scope. No approval. No limit.
AI agents hold standing credentials and act dynamically — with authority nobody explicitly granted for that specific action.
Scopes are over-broad, ownership is vague, and revocation is a mess during an incident.
When something goes wrong, the answer is often “the system did it” without proof of intent.

With Attestr

The integration holds an inert Attestr credential with no useful standing permission. Nothing usable sits at rest.
Access is materialised only at the moment of action, only for what policy allows, and only for as long as needed.
Every agent action is approved and scoped before it happens — regardless of what the agent dynamically decides to do.
Each credential is scoped, owned, centrally governed, and instantly revocable from a single place.
Every request, decision, approval, and action is logged for full reconstruction, compliance, and forensics.

How it works

One swap in the integration. A security layer around every downstream action.

1

Create an inert Attestr credential

A security or IT owner creates a credential in Attestr and defines what it can and cannot do through scopes, policies, and optional approvals.

2

Paste it where an API token would normally live

The integration stores the inert credential instead of a real secret. At rest, there is no standing token sitting in the workflow or environment.

3

Evaluate policy at the moment of action

When the system tries to act, Attestr checks the request against allowed scopes, risk rules, timing constraints, rate limits, and any required human approval.

Issue short-lived access, log everything, let it die

If the request is allowed, Attestr materialises the short-lived token the system needs, records the full event trail, and the credential returns to being inert again.

materialise → act → log → expire

Built for credential-heavy environments

Anywhere a system currently holds a long-lived API token, Attestr becomes the governance layer around it.

System-to-system integrations

Put Attestr in the middle of critical connections so systems cannot freely overreach into each other. Every machine handshake governed, scoped, and logged with full reconstruction.

Agents and automation

Your AI agents are accessing real systems with real credentials right now. Attestr means every agent action is approved, scoped, and auditable before it happens — regardless of what the agent dynamically decides.

The Attestr platform

One place to govern every machine access request — without letting standing credentials proliferate across your estate or into your agents.

🗂️

Credential registry

Every credential becomes a managed identity with clear ownership, scope, usage history, and lifecycle.

⚖️

Policy and approval engine

Apply scopes, constraints, approvals, and security checks at the moment of every machine access request — not after the fact.

📜

Immutable audit trail

Capture every request, decision, approval, denial, and downstream action for reconstruction, compliance, and forensics.

How many machine handshakes are happening right now that nobody approved?

Most organisations do not know. Attestr governs every one — replacing long-lived API keys with governed, short-lived access, without touching a byte of your data.
