Enterprise Security & Compliance
Cyrus: Built for Enterprise from Day One
Cyrus achieved SOC 2 Type I compliance, independently verified by third-party auditors. This means:
- Verified security controls: Independent auditors validated our security design meets enterprise standards
- Your code stays yours: Architecture ensures code never leaves your environment
- Procurement-ready: SOC 2 compliance is often required for enterprise software procurement
- Continuous monitoring: Ongoing compliance monitoring through Vanta
OpenClaw: Security Concerns for Enterprise Use
OpenClaw (formerly Clawbot/Moltbot) is explicitly not designed for enterprise ecosystems. Security researchers have identified critical issues:
- Critical vulnerabilities: Within 72 hours of widespread adoption, researchers found exposed admin panels, RCE vulnerabilities, and active infostealer campaigns
- Plaintext credential storage: Secrets shared with the assistant are stored in plaintext Markdown and JSON files on local filesystem
- Exposed control servers: Hundreds of publicly exposed instances with unauthorized access to credentials
“A recent Gartner report characterizes OpenClaw as 'a dangerous preview of agentic AI, demonstrating high utility but exposing enterprises to insecure by default risks like plaintext credential storage.'”
Team Collaboration & Organization
Cyrus: Purpose-Built for Teams
Cyrus is designed from the ground up for team collaboration:
- Native Linear integration: Automatically picks up issues, creates PRs, and updates status in Linear
- Team context management: Shared context across team members with proper access controls
- Agent swarms: Multiple agents collaborate on complex tasks with swarm mode
- Role-based access control (RBAC): Granular permissions for different team members and repositories
- Audit trails: Complete visibility into what the agent did and why
OpenClaw: Individual-Focused
OpenClaw is designed as a personal AI assistant:
- Single-user architecture: Not built for team collaboration
- No enterprise access controls: Basic permission system unsuitable for team environments
- Limited audit capabilities: Difficult to track actions across team members
The Bottom Line
While OpenClaw (Clawbot) offers an interesting open-source approach to personal AI assistance, it's fundamentally designed for individual use and lacks the security, compliance, and team collaboration features that enterprise development teams require.
For teams building production software in an enterprise environment, Cyrus provides the security, compliance, and collaboration features you need — with native Linear integration and SOC 2 certification out of the box.
