Directory as a Service
Centralize identity.
Make credential abuse expensive.
Unify users, groups and identity attributes in a cloud identity layer that connects directory synchronization, lifecycle control and Human-Verified authentication.
Rainbow Secure adds friction and controls for attackers; no identity platform can eliminate every credential threat.

What is Directory as a Service?
A cloud directory that coordinates the identity journey.
Directory as a Service is a cloud-hosted platform for managing user accounts, groups and identity attributes. It can replace selected legacy directory functions or extend existing directories into cloud and distributed environments.
Rainbow Secure connects directory information with authentication and access policy. Identity is not only stored: changes can be synchronized, access can follow lifecycle status, and configured verification can be required before a valid credential becomes trusted access.
Connected identity architecture
One identity record. Controlled movement in both directions.
Bring identity data from authoritative sources into Rainbow Secure, then deliver approved lifecycle and access changes to connected resources.

Cloud platforms
Custom applications
Shared resources
Infrastructure
Connector availability, mapped attributes, synchronization direction and timing are confirmed for each deployment.
Core capabilities
Directory control that extends beyond storage.
Coordinate identity records with the policies and access decisions that depend on them.
Centralized users and groups
Create, update and organize identities, roles and group membership from one administrative experience.
Directory synchronization
Connect identity sources such as Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, LDAP, Google Workspace, HR platforms and other identity providers.
Lifecycle automation
Coordinate user creation, profile changes, disabling and removal so access follows current business status.
Policy-based access
Use roles, groups, directory attributes and configured conditions to determine who can reach assigned resources.
Context-aware verification
Apply supported device, IP, location, time and behavioral signals when authentication policy requires additional scrutiny.
Application and API connection
Support provisioning, authentication and authorization workflows for connected SaaS, cloud and custom applications.
Actual product experience
Manage identity structure from one control point.
Administrators can review users and organize workforce, privileged, service-account and other identity types into governed groups.
- Central user and status visibility
- Reusable group and role structures
- Coordinated application assignments
- Reviewable administrative activity
Business value
Less directory fragmentation. More consistent identity control.
Reduce identity sprawl
Bring identity records and administration into a coordinated control plane instead of relying on disconnected stores.
Remove stale access sooner
Synchronize status changes and lifecycle actions so dormant and orphaned access is easier to identify and remove.
Simplify operations
Manage users, groups, access structures and synchronization schedules with fewer manual handoffs.
Support growth
Extend a cloud-delivered identity layer to remote teams, contractors, new applications and expanding environments.
Improve evidence
Keep directory, lifecycle and administrative activity reviewable for investigations and audit preparation.
Strengthen authentication
Combine identity records with rSecureKey, OTP, passwordless and policy-driven verification where configured.
Beyond static trust
Enhance traditional directories with Human-Verified access.
A valid password, OTP or session should not automatically settle every access decision. Rainbow Secure can combine directory identity with intentional user interaction and contextual policy.
Depending on configuration, rSecureKey and supported authentication methods can add text, color, font, style and formatting-location choices—without biometric recognition—while adaptive controls consider relevant context.

Frequently asked questions
Plan the right directory architecture.
Directory modernization is usually an integration decision—not simply a replacement decision.
What is a cloud directory service?+
A cloud directory service centrally stores and manages identities, groups and attributes, then makes them available to connected applications and infrastructure through controlled integrations.
How is DaaS different from Active Directory?+
Active Directory is commonly used for Windows domains and on-premises resources. DaaS is cloud-delivered and can extend or coordinate multiple identity sources and cloud applications. Rainbow Secure can complement an existing directory rather than requiring immediate replacement.
Does Rainbow Secure replace every existing directory?+
Not necessarily. The appropriate design depends on your applications, devices and source of truth. Rainbow Secure may operate as a central identity layer while synchronizing with existing directories and HR systems.
Which systems can be connected?+
The page reflects integration categories including Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, LDAP, Google Workspace, HR platforms and other identity providers. Exact connectors, direction, attributes and frequency should be confirmed during solution design.
Does directory synchronization happen in real time?+
Synchronization frequency and direction depend on the connector and deployment. Rainbow Secure supports independently configurable upstream and downstream schedules; requirements should be confirmed before deployment.
Is Human-Verified authentication biometric?+
No. Rainbow Secure does not require fingerprint, face, iris or voice recognition. Supported verification can combine a token or credential with intentional interaction, formatting dimensions and contextual policy.
