WorkOS, founded in 2019, provides an API platform designed to streamline the implementation of enterprise-grade features for software companies. Its core offerings include Single Sign-On (SSO) supporting any SAML or OIDC identity provider, Directory Sync via SCIM, User Management, Audit Logging, and Role-Based Access Control. The company positions these as developer-friendly tools, offering RESTful APIs with JSON responses, normalized data objects, and SDKs across multiple languages including Node.js, Ruby, Python, .NET, Go, PHP, and Java.
The platform targets SaaS and enterprise software companies that need to meet the security and compliance requirements of larger customers. According to WorkOS, its tools enable companies to reach the enterprise market approximately nine months faster than building equivalent functionality in-house. The company operates in the enterprise security infrastructure and identity management space.
WorkOS has raised $100 million in Series C funding. Its technical focus spans authentication, identity, authorization, and broader enterprise security infrastructure - areas of increasing relevance as organizations adopt AI-powered tools that require robust access controls and audit capabilities.
