HOW IT WORKS

Access Management That Handles Everything—
From First Login to Final Audit

Authifi brings authentication, authorization, governance, and compliance into one unified platform so your team never has to choose between moving fast and staying secure.

The Platform

One Platform.
No More Patchwork.

Most organizations piece together five or six tools to manage access—an IdP here, an audit logger there, a compliance dashboard somewhere else. Every seam is a risk. Authifi replaces the patchwork with a single platform that covers the full access lifecycle. From the moment a researcher signs in for the first time to the day their access is revoked, every action is governed, logged, and auditable—automatically.

  • Users sign in with existing credentials from their institution. No new accounts, no manual provisioning, no IT bottlenecks.

  • Access is granted based on role, clearance, device, network, and risk—evaluated in real time on every request.

  • Attestations, access reviews, and Joiner-Mover-Leaver workflows run automatically, keeping access current without manual intervention.

  • Every authentication and authorization event is logged, immutable, and instantly reportable—audit-ready every day, not just when auditors arrive.

Core Capabilities

Everything You Need to Control Access at Scale

Six foundational capabilities, built to work together—so you're not integrating tools,
you're running a platform.

Federated Identity

Sign in with any institutional IdP, Login.gov, or enterprise directory. Full support for SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, and OAuth 2.0—no new accounts required.

Multi-Factor Authentication

FIDO2/WebAuthn, biometric authentication, hardware tokens, and time-based OTPs. Strong MFA that doesn't slow your researchers down.

Zero Trust Architecture

Continuous verification, least privilege by default, and context-aware authorization for every request—regardless of network location.

Comprehensive Audit Logs

Immutable, tamper-proof audit trails for every authentication and authorization event—with real-time monitoring, alerts, and one-click compliance reports.

Fine-Grained Access Control

Role-based (RBAC) and attribute-based (ABAC) access control with dynamic policy enforcement at every layer—user, session, dataset, and API.

Delegated Administration

Empower institution leads and data owners to manage their own access without surrendering centralized oversight or policy control.

For the Most Demanding Environments

Advanced Capabilities Built Into the Platform

For federal agencies and large research networks that need more than role-based access, Authifi goes deeper—without requiring a professional services engagement to get there.

Context-Aware Access Policies

Make access decisions based on the full context of every request—not just who's asking, but where they are, what device they're on, and what risk signals are present.

  • Geolocation-based restrictions

  • Device trust and posture verification

  • Adaptive authentication on risk signals

  • Time-of-day and network-origin controls

Data-Level Authorization

Control access down to the dataset, record, or field level—essential for research environments where different users need different views of the same sensitive data.

  • Dataset-level permissions and classification

  • Consent-based data access enforcement

  • Fine-grained row and column controls

Secure API Gateway

Protect every API endpoint with OAuth 2.0, API key management, rate limiting, and fine-grained authorization—so programmatic access is as secure as human access.

  • OAuth 2.0 token management and validation

  • API-level authorization and rate limiting

  • Full audit trail for API activity
