Frequently asked questions

How does Opti keep my data secure?

Each customer runs on logically isolated resources with full encryption in transit and at rest. Opti is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliant, and we never move sensitive identity data outside your chosen region. Read more in our Trust Center.


How does Opti fit into my current identity stack?

We integrate via standard APIs and proprietary integration to your existing IdP, HRIS, ITSM, and enterprise applications both SaaS and legacy. No rip-and-replace, our platform leverages your security and identity ecosystem for better results. Opti ingests entitlements, maps risk, and executes changes through the systems you already trust.

How fast can Opti show results in a large enterprise environment?

Most mid-to-large organizations see impact within the first 30 days of deployment. Our connectors light up your existing directory and top apps in hours, the identity graph is fully populated in under a day, and automated remediation or access-request workflows start eliminating ticket backlog and stale entitlements before the first weekly steering call.

What makes Opti different from traditional IGA suites?

Opti is AI-native from day one. Instead of relying on static roles and manual reviews, we use machine-learned risk models to recommend, approve, or remediate access in real time—without the heavy deployment cycles of legacy IGA.
