Overview
Founded in late 2018 as a spin-off from KU Leuven's DistriNet research group, where the team had focused on Authentication, Authorization, and Audit (AAA) research, Elimity commercializes identity data analytics as its core product. The flagship offering, Elimity Insights, is an Identity Data Analytics platform that gives ICT and security professionals data-driven visibility into their Identity and Access Management (IAM) landscape.
The platform is designed for organizations managing complex access environments with many users, roles, and systems, where spreadsheet-based IAM governance becomes unscalable and audit-unfriendly. Elimity addresses compliance requirements (GDPR, ISO 27001, NIS2) by providing continuous, automated access certification and risk detection.
The company has raised $895K from a syndicate including Tenity, BNP Paribas Fortis Private Equity, KBC, KU Leuven itself, and ING Fintech Village. It is headquartered in Mechelen and has appeared at RSA Conference 2026, indicating active international market positioning.

- Op 21 oktober gingen DigiD, MijnOverheid en een flink deel van de publieke websites preventief offline. Reden: twee kritieke PHP-kwetsbaarheden waarmee een aanvaller een webserver kon overnemen. Inmiddels is er bij de meeste organisaties gepatcht. Knap werk, onder flinke druk. Maar patchen beantwoordt maar één vraag: is het lek dicht? De vraag die daarna komt, van je bestuur of van de RDI, is lastiger. Als die server wél was overgenomen, wat had een aanvaller dan kunnen bereiken? 5 toegangsvragen die jij binnen een dag
