Challenge

Modern Standards Outpace Legacy IdPs

In highly regulated industries, compliance moves faster than legacy identity systems can adapt. Auditors expect FAPI 2.0, DPoP, mTLS, PAR, and auditable consent as baseline. Yet most identity providers can't deliver. Your development team is caught between speed and compliance.

Impact of Doing Nothing

Every Sprint, the Compliance Gaps Get Wider

Doing nothing only magnifies the problem. Policy drift and inconsistent controls lead to recurring SOC 2, ISO, HIPAA, and PCI findings, while fragmented evidence slows audits and incident response. Static MFA frustrates users and ignores risk context, and each new standard demands costly, time-consuming app rewrites. Compliance debt compounds, turning operational drag into real business risk.

Solution

Meet Evolving Standards Without Losing Control

Standard-compliant by design, Duende is your extensible identity infrastructure for centralizing policy, consent, and audit logging across every application in your architecture. Built by pioneers in OpenID Connect, OAuth, BFF, and FAPI, Duende gives your team full control over identity and access while keeping pace with evolving security standards and protecting critical transactions.

Adopt Standards Without Rewrites

Financial-grade security built in, not bolted on. FAPI 2.0, DPoP, mTLS, and PAR are native to the framework - your team adopts evolving standards through configuration, not costly application rewrites.

One Policy Plane for Every Application

Centralize MFA rules, session lifetimes, scopes, claims, and step-up triggers at a single Authorization Server. Extend with custom risk logic through deep extensibility hooks — without scattering policy across applications.

Audit-Ready Evidence by Default

Complete, queryable logs for consent decisions, authorization events, and high-assurance transactions. Give auditors the evidence they need and your team the visibility to respond to incidents - fast.

Adaptive Security That Respects Your User

Define authentication and risk controls once at the Authorization Server. Every connected app inherits them automatically - improve both security posture and user experience without per-app rewrites.
