Descope provides a drag-and-drop identity platform enabling organisations to build secure authentication and identity journeys for customers, partners, AI agents, and MCP servers without custom code. Founded in 2022 by an eight-person team with over 30 years of combined enterprise security experience - including the founders of Demisto, acquired by Palo Alto Networks for $2.3bn - the company serves more than a thousand organisations spanning startups to Fortune 500 firms.
The platform abstracts away the complexity of identity management, handling authentication, compliance, and security so engineering teams can concentrate on their core product. Descope's customer base includes GoFundMe, Databricks, GoodRx, Navan, and You.com. The company is a member of the FIDO Alliance and maintains a commitment to open-source development, reflecting a developer-first approach centred on making authentication both invisible to end-users and effortless for engineers to implement.
