Matrix Coverage
Where this product defends, by asset class and NIST CSF function. The Coverage column shows whether each asset is Primary, Secondary, or Adjacent to what the product does. The table omits empty rows and columns.
| Asset class | Identify | Protect | Detect | Coverage | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI Coding and Orchestration Tools | Detect: Not covered | Adjacent | 5 | ||
| AI Traffic | Protect: Not covered | Detect: Not covered | Primary | 5 | |
| Runtime AI Data | Identify: Not covered | Primary | 5 | ||
| AI Agent Identities | Protect: Not covered | Detect: Not covered | Secondary | 2 |
Framework Relevance
These frameworks include controls relevant to the asset classes Nudge Security defends. This is an editorial inference from the AI Defense Matrix asset-level crossmap, not a statement that Nudge Security implements these controls or is certified against them.
