Neutral by design.
Built by EmpowerID .
EmpowerID—IGA/PAM since 2005, powering mission‑critical programs in aerospace, automotive, retail, and manufacturing.
Why EmpowerID created EmpowerNow
Agents are exploding across platforms. Governance was fragmented and vendor‑locked. EmpowerID built EmpowerNow as a separate, standards‑embracing Layer‑2 so any enterprise or platform can create once, enforce everywhere, prove everything—without changing their IGA or agent stack.
The ChatGPT moment made it clear teams needed governed tools, not just models. EmpowerNow was created as the neutral layer to make that safe and enterprise‑ready.
Standards aligned: MCP for tools/resources, OAuth TE/RAR/DPoP for passports, and AuthZEN‑style decisions for consistent policy.

Quick answers
Is EmpowerNow a feature of EmpowerID?
No. EmpowerNow is a neutral, vendor‑agnostic service. EmpowerID is our heritage and channel—not a dependency.

Can we start small?
Yes. Add a governed starter catalog of 10 tools, then expand endpoints and platforms at your pace.
