NewCore: governance profile
Venture-backed company, out of stealth since 15 June 2026 with $66M in funding. Rank 1, total 9.10.
In short: NewCore ranks first in the register at 9.10 out of 10. It scores full marks on ownership, policy and approval. One gateway checks every agent tool call against policy and sends risky calls to a named approver. It runs alongside your identity provider. Buying clarity is its weakest area.
How does NewCore score in each area?

| A2 Ownership and accountability | 20 | 10 | Every agent is linked to an accountable owner, and each call is logged against that owner. | Source: NewCore: Discover; NewCore: Govern, read |
| A3 Policy authoring and enforcement | 20 | 10 | One policy engine covers people and agents, with allow, ask or deny, and policies are replayed against recent real sessions before going live. | Source: NewCore: Govern, read |
| A4 Human approval and escalation | 15 | 10 | Risky calls go to a named approver who confirms with device biometrics, and an agent can never approve its own action. | Source: NewCore: Govern, read |
| A5 Audit evidence | 15 | 9 | Tool calls, sessions and approvals sit in one audit trail, and denied attempts are treated as a threat signal. | Source: NewCore: Govern, read |
| A6 Lifecycle and revocation | 10 | 8 | Access is revoked per agent through the gateway and is short-lived and task-scoped. | Source: NewCore: Secure, read |
