ObserveID

ObserveID is an Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform provider founded in 2021, with roots in Guardian Technology, an IT solutions firm established in 2014. The company is headquartered in California (area code 949) and targets mid-market to enterprise organizations operating in hybrid and multicloud environments. The platform is built around a converged architecture designed to consolidate identity security functions. Core capabilities include Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Single Sign-On (SSO), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), automated user provisioning and de-provisioning, and Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM). The CIEM component focuses on governing access rights and permissions across cloud services, implementing the principle of least privilege (POLP), contextual access management, and automated remediation of policy violations. ObserveID addresses common IAM challenges such as scalability, integration with legacy systems, compliance with regulations including GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS, and process automation. The platform incorporates AI-driven capabilities and is designed to scale from mid-market companies (100–10,000 employees) to enterprise-wide deployments. The company went through an early adoption and monetization phase between 2023 and 2024, engaging early adopters to refine the platform before transitioning to full-scale commercial availability. As of 2025, ObserveID is focused on building partner ecosystems and expanding adoption through channel and alliance partnerships.
