About C1
C1, formerly known as ConductorOne, is a commercial identity platform that governs who and what can access company systems. It covers workforce access, non-human identities and AI agents, and aims to give IT, security and compliance teams one place to manage access lifecycle, requests, reviews and audit evidence.
The product family spans governance and runtime control. C1 Identity Governance handles user access reviews and joiner, mover and leaver automation. Other components include an LLM gateway and an MCP gateway that give agents policy-controlled access to models and tools, a vault for credentials, connectors and a bridge to other systems, SSO and application authorization, and C1 Agents that complete multi-step jobs across connected apps.
Solution pages describe use cases such as just-in-time access, shadow AI discovery, secrets management, agent SSO and runtime governance, and self-service access to apps and MCP servers. C1 is a hosted product with a pricing page and demo booking, and it lists teams from IT and security to risk and small or mid-size businesses as audiences.
