Identity Dark Matter Hides in Applications. Orchid Makes It Visible.
When identity behavior inside applications becomes observable and explainable, Orchid becomes the foundation of a modern identity infrastructure.
Integrating with Your IAM Stack
Why Orchid Exists
IAM Tools See Less and Less
IAM is a control layer. But it only sees what’s centralized. As identity logic moved into applications, critical behavior slipped out of view. That’s why Orchid exists.
Agent-AI expands exposure
Applications enforce access IAM never sees. Custom and legacy apps decide who gets in, outside central control.

Shadow Authentication Paths
Users don’t always log in the way you think. Alternate auth paths bypass central identity flows.
Orchid explains how authentication actually happens. You see real login paths and orchestrate that reality back into IAM.
Local User Activity
Identity actions happen without leaving IAM logs. Local users and in-app actions stay invisible.
Orchid brings identity activity into context. You understand what identities do inside applications, not just that they exist.
Hardcoded Accounts
and Credentials
Credentials live in code, configs, and scripts. They’re copied, reused, and rarely reviewed.
Orchid makes embedded identity behavior visible.
You understand where credentials exist, how they’re used, and which identities depend on them.
Privilege Drift
Access grows. Ownership disappears. Permissions accumulate long after the original need is gone.
Orchid explains why access exists.You see impact and risk before changing or removing access.
Application Governance
No one owns how access works inside applications.
Apps are onboarded, forgotten, and rarely governed over time.
Orchid brings applications under identity governance.
You understand how access is implemented, who relies on it, and when an app is ready to be governed through IAM.
What Our Customers Are Saying
The implementation of Orchid Security will have reduced the inherent friction that comes with manually onboarding applications from so many different countries and service business, improving agility and the service ISS staff provides to customers.

Imagine reducing the time required to onboard applications- from 4 weeks to just 1 week for the average application.
How It Works
See identity where IAM can’t
Orchid uncovers applications and identity behavior that operate outside centralized identity systems.
Analyze
Orchid explains how authentication, authorization, and access actually work inside each application.
Bring applications under IAM control
Bring applications under IAM control. Orchid uses application-level identity context to onboard apps into IAM, IGA, and PAM - so governance reflects how access actually works.
Prove control over time
Orchid establishes a clear identity baseline and shows measurable improvement without manual evidence collection.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Orchid Security Platform?
Orchid is an identity-first security platform that discovers, analyzes, governs, and proves identity controls across all applications.
What problem does Orchid Security solve?
Orchid eliminates “identity blind spots” by uncovering unmanaged apps, hidden authentication flows, and ungoverned access.
What types of applications does Orchid discover?
Orchid discovers SaaS, cloud, on-prem, legacy, and custom-built applications automatically.
How does Orchid improve identity security?
Orchid analyzes authentication and authorization flows, detects risk, enforces policies, and automates remediation.
Does Orchid replace IAM, PAM, or IGA tools?
No. Orchid integrates with existing IAM, PAM, and IGA tools to enhance visibility and governance.
What is “identity dark matter”?
Identity dark matter is access, credentials, and authentication logic that security tools can’t see or track.
