Define fine-grained access policies, evaluated in under 50ms.
Write access policies in a human-readable YAML language. Compile, test, and deploy with complete audit trails.
Architecture
From request to decision in five stages.
Every access request traverses the same pipeline: request intake, context enrichment from the identity graph, YAML policy evaluation, a sub-50 ms decision, and a short-lived credential issued only on allow.
Complete policy lifecycle management.
From writing to monitoring, everything you need to manage access policies at enterprise scale.
Human-Readable DSL
Write policies in a clean YAML-based language that security teams and developers can understand and review.
Visual Editor
Build policies visually with our drag-and-drop editor. No coding required for common patterns.
Git-Native Workflow
Store policies in git, review in PRs, deploy with CI/CD. Treat policies like any other code.
Policy Templates
Start with pre-built templates for common use cases. Customize to match your requirements.
Simulation Mode
Test policies against real traffic before deployment. Understand the impact before going live.
Diff Visualization
See exactly what would change. Compare current vs. Proposed policy behavior side-by-side.
Sub-50ms Evaluation
Policies are compiled to optimized JSON rules for lightning-fast evaluation in the hot path.
Instant Propagation
Policy changes propagate globally in seconds. No restart or cache invalidation required.
Default Deny
Secure by default. Access is denied unless explicitly granted by a matching policy.
Decision Logs
Every decision is logged with the policy that matched. Complete audit trail for compliance.
Real-Time Analytics
Dashboards showing policy hit rates, denial patterns, and access trends.
Compliance Reports
Generate audit reports showing policy compliance across your organization.
Principle
“Policy written in YAML, enforced in milliseconds, audited forever.”
