About Curity
Curity is a Stockholm-based security technology company that provides the Curity Identity Server, a highly specialized IAM solution for large-scale digital environments. Unlike many competitors that offer only multi-tenant SaaS, Curity focuses on a cloud-native software model that allows organizations to deploy the identity layer within their own infrastructure. This architecture is specifically designed to provide enterprises with full control over their identity data, ensuring compliance with strict data residency and PII regulations. The platform is built entirely on open standards, specifically OAuth and OpenID Connect, avoiding proprietary lock-in. It serves as a centralized hub for authentication across diverse application landscapes, including microservices, mobile apps, and legacy systems. By separating the configuration layer from the identity data, Curity enables global organizations to achieve high availability and rapid scalability while maintaining a consistent security posture across different geographic regions. Its clients include major European firms in highly regulated sectors such as finance, telecommunications, and government.
