About Orchid Security

View company profile

Orchid Security is on a mission to bring clarity to the complexity of fragmented identity security in enterprise environments. Every organization faces a massive challenge: an average of 1,200 applications spread across on-premise, cloud, and SaaS environments, each enforcing access in different ways with no shared source of truth. Traditional IAM tools only see what's centralized, leaving critical identity behavior inside applications completely invisible - what Orchid calls 'identity dark matter.'

Orchid's identity-first security orchestration platform leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to make this fragmented identity behavior observable and explainable end to end. The platform continuously discovers all applications - SaaS, legacy, home-grown, and shadow apps - then analyzes authentication and authorization logic inside each application to identify weak encryption, hardcoded credentials, and missing controls. By mapping posture against frameworks like NIST, ISO, SOX, and GDPR, Orchid enables enterprises to bring applications under governance, reduce professional services costs by 75%, and accelerate application onboarding by 90%. Founded in 2023 by cybersecurity veterans and backed by $36M in seed funding from Team8 and Intel Capital, Orchid is trusted by Fortune 500 customers to prove control over their identity infrastructure without relying on assumptions or manual effort.
