After SOAR

The card for Regulated or air-gapped

A team under a regulator or a classification rule that limits where playbooks run and who can approve an action. It may need on-prem or air-gapped deployment, named regions and an audit trail for every automated step.

Hosting carries 24 and approvals 20, the two rows a regulator asks about first. Cases carry 10, since the record is the evidence. Pricing drops to 4 and AI to 6. Apply a hard filter yourself before reading the order: the product must document on-prem, hybrid or air-gapped deployment. On the pages read that means Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR, where XSOAR 6 is recommended for on-prem and air-gapped installs, Splunk SOAR, which documents cloud, on-prem and hybrid, Cyware Orchestrate, which says it runs in cloud and on-premise environments, and BlinkOps, which an AppSource listing says runs on-prem through runners. Mate Security documents no deployment model or residency and falls to seventh on these weights. Several hosting rows were flagged for a re-read.

Totals are computed from the same nine scores as everywhere on the site, reweighted. Totals within 0.25 are a band, not a ladder. How the scoring works.
