SGNL was founded in 2021 by product and engineering leaders from companies such as Google, Okta, and Microsoft to push the boundaries of what is possible in the enterprise authorization space. We help enterprise companies eliminate standing access and consistently protect critical systems and data.
SGNL’s platform helps companies achieve a Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) security posture by continuously and contextually evaluating user access and authorizing access only when needed. This reduces the risk of data breaches and security incidents caused by compromised accounts or misuse.
SGNL is backed by leading investors like Costanoa Ventures, Fika Ventures, Moonshots Capital, and Resolute Ventures and industry giants like Cisco and Microsoft.
