IronCore Labs

IronCore Labs builds application-layer encryption tools that keep sensitive data private while it stays usable. Its products include SaaS Shield (tenant-controlled envelope encryption with customer-managed keys / BYOK for multi-tenant SaaS), Cloaked Search (a transparent encrypting proxy for Elasticsearch and OpenSearch), Cloaked AI (encryption of vector embeddings for AI/RAG workloads while preserving similarity search), the Data Control Platform (end-to-end encryption SDKs where the end user holds the key), and an S3 Proxy for per-tenant object encryption. Developers integrate through the unified IronCore Alloy SDK (Rust, Python, Java, Kotlin), the legacy Tenant Security Client (Node.js, Go, PHP), and the self-hosted Vendor API Bridge REST API for programmatic tenant and KMS configuration management.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles IronCore Labs the way a machine reads it — 10 machine-readable artifacts across 5 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — IronCore Labs scores 57.6/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 58/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile IronCore Labs

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for IronCore Labs. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 5

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

IronCore Labs Configuration Assignment API

Assignments between KMS configurations and tenants

IronCore Labs KMS Configuration API

KMS configurations from different providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, Thales)

IronCore Labs Tag API

Label shared between service account configs and tenants. Controls where KMS configurations can be sent.

IronCore Labs Tenant API

Vendor tenants managed by the Config Broker

IronCore Labs Tenant Secret API

Tenant secrets created by the TSP and stored in the Config Broker

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Model Context Protocol servers that expose these APIs to AI agents.

Security Posture 4

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
