CipherTrust

CipherTrust Manager is Thales's centralized key- and data-security management platform and the control plane of the CipherTrust Data Security Platform (CDSP). It provides a unified plane for encryption key lifecycle management, secrets management, certificates, tokenization, data discovery, and policy enforcement across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, with HSM/KMIP integration, Kubernetes and DevSecOps support, role-based access controls, and post-quantum cryptography readiness. Developers and platform teams automate it through a REST API (base path /api/v1, JWT bearer authentication), an official HashiCorp Terraform provider (ThalesGroup/ciphertrust), an Ansible collection, and PowerShell orchestration modules, plus Application Protection SDKs for embedding encryption, key management, and tokenization in apps.

CipherTrust is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Encryption, Key Management, and Secrets Management.

CipherTrust’s developer surface includes getting-started guide, documentation, API reference, support, authentication, engineering blog, pricing, and 21 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/ciphertrust: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
PKI and Encryption (certificate authorities, key management)	undeclared	-	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
