Comparison
Both observe AI agents — but for very different reasons. LangSmith helps you build a better model. Cisora helps you keep it under control.
LangSmith is for model performance. Cisora is for governance, security, and compliance. They are complementary, not competing — most teams running real agents need both.
| Feature | Cisora | LangSmith |
|---|---|---|
LLM call tracing | Yes | Yes |
Tool & function call tracing | Yes | Yes |
Prompt versioning + evals Cisora focuses on production, not model dev | Partial | Yes |
Dataset management for fine-tuning | No | Yes |
Real-time policy enforcement (inline block) Block unsafe actions in <5ms | Yes | No |
OWASP LLM Top 10 incident detection | Yes | No |
NHI / credential scanning across agents | Yes | No |
Compliance reports (SOC 2, ISO 42001, EU AI Act) | Yes | No |
Human-in-the-loop review queue | Yes | No |
Multi-agent inventory + risk scoring | Yes | Partial |
Cost tracking + budget alerts | Yes | Yes |
Self-hosted option Enterprise plan | Partial | Yes |
Vendor-neutral (works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Mistral, anything) | Yes | Yes |
Inline policy enforcement, not just observability
Cisora can block an action before it executes — based on deterministic rules you write in our policy DSL. LangSmith observes after the fact.
Security incident detection mapped to OWASP LLM Top 10
Cisora ships with detectors for prompt injection, excessive agency, sensitive info disclosure, model DoS, and more. Findings appear on a governance dashboard, not a developer trace viewer.
Non-human identity (NHI) governance
Every API key, OAuth token, and machine credential your agents touch is fingerprinted and tracked. Rotate stale credentials, detect lateral movement, prove zero-trust posture.
Compliance-grade audit reports
Cisora generates auditor-ready evidence packs for SOC 2, ISO/IEC 42001, EU AI Act, and NIST AI RMF in one click. LangSmith does not target compliance.
