What Is Permguard

Built for Authorization at the Edge With Full Auditability

Built for Zero Trust and distributed systems, it ensures consistent enforcement even during network disruptions. Policies are versioned and distributed through a Git-like model, enabling proximity-based decisions, including on-behalf-of execution, with audit-ready decision logs.

Guaranteed Versioning

Best In Class For Distributed Systems

Bringing Trust to the Space Between Identity and Action

Closing the gap left by token-based protocols: instead of relying on impersonation, it's time to act on behalf of, with full context and verifiable consent. Authorization governance, trust, and policies must propagate across the entire distributed transaction, from the initial caller to every downstream action.

Policy Governance

Separate policy from code using Git-like, versioned objects that are portable, immutable, and audit-ready. Guarantee consistent authorization across environments, with full traceability for compliance and auditing.

Workload Governance

Define which workloads are allowed to act on behalf of others. Classify workloads by trust level and validate not just the token, but also the runtime identity executing the action.

Zero Trust Enforcement

Make authorization decisions based on both the user and the calling workload. Enable advanced flows like Trust Elevation for secure, dynamic execution across identity boundaries.

Act-On-Behalf-Of, by Design

Enable verifiable "on-behalf-of" execution as a native runtime feature. Every action respects consent, enforces policy, and leaves a complete audit trail, always aligned with least privilege.

Deploy, Configure & Enforce.

Deploy the AuthZ Server and Start Enforcing Authorization

Deploy the central AuthZ server, configure it with your Trust Zone, identities, and ledger, and get ready to provision policies and start enforcing access decisions in real time.

Workspace

Workspace

Initialize a local workspace and checkout a remote PermGuard server account using the PermGuard Command Line.

Policy as Code (PAC)

Code your policies using your preferred IDE, plan the provisioning, and apply changes.

Policies

Policies are managed as Git-like objects, ensuring immutability, versioning, and correctness by design.

Enforce Authorization in Your Application

Easily integrate Permguard into your app using SDKs for Go, Python, Node.js, .NET, and more.
