    Definity Financial publishes no authentication documentation and no machine-readable
    security scheme. There is no OpenAPI, so there is nothing to derive from. This file is
    an honest posture record, not a derived scheme list.

      Docebo SaaS learning management system (CNAME economical.docebosaas.com) serving broker

  description: >-
    Although Definity documents no authentication scheme publicly, it IS certified against
    CSIO's API Security Standards, which define a standard authentication and authorization
    API model for insurer-to-Broker-Management-System connectivity. The Standards were
    produced by CSIO's INNOTECH Advisory Committee and its API Security Working Group, address
    OAuth 2.1 security concerns, and require certified members to confirm prevention of 16
    OAuth security concerns and 18 API endpoint concerns. This is third-party attestation of
    an OAuth-family model on the gated broker channel — it is NOT a first-party contract, and
    the specific grant types, token endpoints and scopes remain unpublished.
