MoorAI vs Noma Security

Where MoorAI goes deeper

Same hook, different underneath: on the device, content-free, with a detector you can read and a published number for what it actually adds. Several Noma rows are marked — unconfirmed, not absent, because Noma’s backend is proprietary and its public material does not document these either way.

Where we genuinely overlap

Noma is not marked absent here. It ships open-source hooks for the same coding agents, and at the coding-agent surface the two products meet directly — anyone evaluating both should expect a substantial overlap. This is the honest half that a lesser comparison page would hide.

Where Noma Security covers more ground

This is the honest half of the page, and it is where Noma’s real weight sits. Noma is a funded enterprise platform, and the coding-agent hooks are one product in a suite. If the requirement is a central governance plane across all of an organisation’s AI — not just the coding agents on a laptop — that is Noma’s product, and MoorAI does not attempt it.

Where MoorAI is stronger. Content-free evidence you can audit, at the coding agent. Both products hook the same agents, so the difference is what happens after the hook fires. Noma’s plugin sends the event to its cloud to be judged; MoorAI judges it on the machine and, by default, only category · risk · keyed one-way hash leave. Because the detector is AGPL-3.0, the content-free claim is one you read rather than one you trust — and the two exceptions are named in the open: an administrator can turn on a capture tier that stores the matched text it was enabled to collect, and on a platform whose OS cannot read an image locally a pasted screenshot goes to your own AI provider for text extraction, never to us. It also carries the measurement Noma does not publish: a marginal-value figure — 7 of the 8 attacks the deployed assistant misses — on a locked held-out split, graded to AMTSO’s guidelines, with the false-positive line printed beside it.

Where Noma Security is stronger. The enterprise plane across all of your AI. Noma is a funded platform whose coding-agent hooks are one module beside AI-SPM, Agent Access Control, AI Red Teaming and AI-DR — discovery across a fleet through EDR, MCP supply-chain scanning, posture management, runtime detection and response, and coverage for the LLM applications, RAG systems and agents an organisation hosts, not just the coding agents developers run. It rolls out centrally through managed settings and MDM, carries ISO 27001, SOC 2 and HIPAA, and comes with the support and account management of a $132M-backed vendor. MoorAI does none of the estate-wide work; it ships a single, focused, on-device tier for the coding agent.

Choosing between them. They overlap more than most pairs on this site, so the choice is real. Pick Noma if you need a central enterprise console governing every kind of AI across the organisation, fleet discovery, red teaming and runtime response, and you are comfortable that coding-agent events are evaluated in the vendor’s cloud. Pick MoorAI where the requirement is that the coding agent is governed on the developer’s own machine, the evidence an auditor reads contains no one’s prompt content at all, the tool runs offline with no account, and the detector — and the number for what it actually adds — are open enough to check yourself.

Noma Security capabilities are mapped from Noma’s own published material (noma.security and github.com/Noma-Security/noma-marketplace) as of 2026; quoted phrases are theirs, except the “SaaS-delivered governance control plane” description, which is from an independent 2026 review (predictionguard.com). ◐ = partial — present but narrower or differently sited than the other column. — = unconfirmed, not necessarily absent: it marks a capability Noma’s public material does not clearly document, and because the Noma backend is proprietary it cannot be verified either way. MoorAI marks reflect shipped capability. MoorAI’s figures are self-run by the maintainer, who also authors MoorAI — stated, not hidden — on a locked held-out split of the public Agentic Security Benchmark, graded to AMTSO’s Guidelines for Testing of Agentic Security Products; OPSWAT, where Jan Miller is CTO, is an AMTSO member, but AMTSO has not reviewed, certified or endorsed MoorAI or the benchmark. Noma Security is a trademark of its respective owner; this is an independent capability comparison, not an endorsement or an affiliation, and every product here evolves — verify specifics against their current documentation.
