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.

- How would you explain Elimity to your grandmother? 👵 We asked one of our own to do exactly that. Turns out identity visibility comes down to something everyone already understands: who's allowed to open which folder in the house, and why that matters when the wrong person gets a key. 🔑 Sometimes the simplest explanation is the easiest one. Interested in a more complete but complex explanation of Elimity? 👇 www.elimity.com
