Opal Security

Opal Security is an identity security and access management platform designed to help organizations manage and govern access across their application ecosystems. The platform focuses on securing every identity and access path within an enterprise, offering capabilities such as just-in-time (JIT) access provisioning, user access reviews, and continuous risk monitoring. Opal provides pre-built API integrations for common third-party SaaS applications and cloud infrastructure, as well as a Custom Connectors framework that allows organizations to extend access governance to internal and homegrown applications. Custom Connectors can interface with applications via standard REST APIs, SCIM-style APIs, direct database connections, or access control files. This architecture enables enterprises to bring applications under centralized identity governance even when those applications lack native integrations. The platform is designed for engineering-led enterprises that operate complex, heterogeneous application environments. It supports deployment flexibility, including serverless environments (AWS Lambda, Azure Function Apps, GCP Cloud Run) and no-code workflow tools such as Tines. Multi-tenant connector deployments are also supported, allowing a single API to manage access control across multiple applications. Opal's use cases span compliance requirements including SOX, SOC2, and HIPAA, addressing the need for auditable access control processes across both third-party and internally developed tools. The company is led by CEO Howard Ting and is backed by investors and advisors from organizations including JPMorgan Chase, Robinhood, Datadog, Coinbase, and 1Password.
