SaaS security platform for discovery, access control, and risk remediation
Grip Security builds a SaaS security posture management platform focused on visibility and access governance across cloud applications. The stack reveals a data-heavy architecture: SQL, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Spark, Airflow, and dbt powering analytics and detection at scale, with AWS/Azure/GCP cloud coverage. Active projects span detection mechanisms, platform modernization, and custom reporting — while internal pain points center on access hygiene (leftover credentials, identity sprawl, shadow SaaS) — the exact problems their customers face.
Grip Security delivers SaaS security and identity governance for organizations navigating both sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud application sprawl. The platform surfaces discovery and inventory (which applications are in use, who has access), investigation (risky configurations, orphaned accounts), and remediation workflows (removing unnecessary licenses, consolidating duplicate deployments, revoking stale access). The company operates with a data-first culture — its own pain-point backlog reveals the customer problem set: identity fragmentation, access control leakage, and shadow SaaS detection. Headquartered in Boston, the company was founded in 2021 and currently operates with 51–200 employees.
Grip's stack includes Python, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Apache Spark, Airflow, dbt, AWS Glue, SQL, and deployed across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Figma, GitHub, Salesforce, and ZoomInfo round out the tooling.
Active projects include proof-of-concept detection mechanisms, next-generation platform development, data platform expansion, custom reporting, design system work, and customer renewal management.
