## AI-native score: Unrated

Available here: [Offers](#offers). Coverage measures research breadth across scored fields.

Research coverage is 38/100. An AI-native grade requires 40/100. The provisional breakdown below shows the AI-native signals recorded so far. The AI-native score measures agent-readiness and is not a substitute for your own security or vendor-risk review. See [methodology](/methodology/) for how coverage and the grade are computed.

## Confirmed absences

These decision fields were researched and confirmed absent — not available based on current evidence, until contrary information supersedes the finding. Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications).

- **Compliance certifications** — confirmed absent (scoped to `soc-2`), checked 2026-10-10. Checked Zyte's Security Trust Center, the page that enumerates the company's certifications (the "What certifications does Zyte have?" FAQ answers "Zyte is ISO 27001 certified"; the page also states GDPR and CCPA compliance). SOC 2 / SOC 2 Type II is not listed among Zyte's certifications on this page. Source: https://www.zyte.com/trust-center/
- **Open source** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-09. Checked the Zyte API product-overview page for any open-source or source-available offering of the product; it presents only a hosted commercial API accessed via signup, with no product source release. Source: https://www.zyte.com/zyte-api/
- **Self-hostable** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-09. Checked the Zyte API pricing/plans page for a self-hosted or on-premises deployment option; it presents only hosted usage-metered plans with no self-host/on-prem offering. Source: https://docs.zyte.com/zyte-api/pricing.html

## Security & Compliance

We confirm that cited vendor pages support these certification claims; we do not independently audit the reports. A shared trust or security page can support several certifications. We do not require separate public report links because reports may require login, vendor approval, or a nondisclosure agreement. Ask the vendor for reports and applicable coverage before a procurement decision. These listings expose no per-claim check date; the entry's updated date does not date the supporting evidence.

- **Compliance certifications:** California Consumer Privacy Act, General Data Protection Regulation, ISO/IEC 27001
**Access controls:** Not yet researched.
