Measurable Added Value for Your IAM Project
Keycloak Migration

KuppingerCole recognizes Bare.ID for innovation and growth potential.
Three Use Cases.
One Solution.
Bare.ID adapts flexibly to various use cases – for employees, customers, and partners, individually or in combination.
Workforce IAM
Convenient and secure login for employees across all applications – centrally managed and automated.
CIAM - Customer Identity
Convenient and secure login experiences for customers and citizens – performant, scalable, and GDPR-compliant.
B2B Identities
Convenient and secure access for external partners and organizations – with fine-grained regulation and seamless integration.
Digital sovereignty starts with identity. It's more than just "Trusted Cloud" or a "Made in Germany" label. What's crucial is where identities are managed and access is controlled. Whoever controls them determines access to systems and data – and thus an organization's digital autonomy.
Bare.ID combines an auditable open-source architecture with open standards and a service chain entirely provided in Germany. This makes sovereignly operated IAM the key to true digital sovereignty.
Keycloak as
Open Source Core
Bare.ID is based on the open-source standard Keycloak and specifically extends it with enterprise functionality. Reverting to a pure Keycloak instance is possible at any time – without proprietary dependencies.
At the same time, Bare.ID assumes full operational and security responsibility for the Keycloak core. Security updates, version changes, and patches – many of which are released annually – are systematically reviewed, tested, and rolled out in a controlled manner. This permanently relieves the internal IT department and prevents security risks.
Transparent Security Assessment
Bare.ID systematically analyzes security-relevant configurations and evaluates them based on defined criteria.
The integrated Bare.ID Security Score identifies vulnerabilities in role models, authentication flows, or policy settings and provides concrete recommendations for action. Instead of static audit reports, organizations receive a continuous, traceable evaluation of their IAM configuration.
Key IAM features in one platform
Single Sign-On
Central authentication. Controlled access.
Bare.ID enables Single Sign-On based on open standards and integrates applications exceptionally fast via a pre-configured Application Gallery.
Users authenticate once and gain targeted access to defined applications. Security policies, authentication flows, and sessions are centrally managed – for less complexity, higher security, and a seamless login experience.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Strong authentication, flexibly managed.
Bare.ID supports modern multi-factor methods – from hardware tokens and OTP to passwordless methods like Passkeys.
Security levels can be defined contextually, for example, by application, role, or risk profile. Authentication requirements are dynamically enforced – without unnecessary hurdles for users.
Identity Lifecycle Management
Manage identities systematically throughout their entire lifecycle.
From onboarding to offboarding, Bare.ID supports automated and compliant processes for managing digital identities.
User accounts are created, updated, or revoked across systems. This reduces manual errors, standardizes processes, and sustainably minimizes access risks.
Access Management
Define and enforce access centrally.
Bare.ID enables role- and policy-based Access Management across applications. Permissions are managed centrally – not solely left to the target systems.
Fine-grained control via roles, groups, and policies ensures controlled access concepts. Assignments remain traceable and auditable at all times – even in complex organizational structures.
AI-powered IAM
Intelligent support for analysis and protection.
Bare.ID analyzes role models, configuration patterns, and security-relevant events using AI-powered methods. Unusual login and usage patterns are evaluated contextually.
Organizations retain full control over deployed AI models, data releases, and access rights. AI is not integrated as a black box but transparently embedded into the existing architecture – with free choice of the AI systems used.
Feeling compliance pressure? No problem with Bare.ID.
Bare.ID ensures that identities, access, and authentication processes comply with regulatory requirements. We cover all relevant requirements from GDPR, ISO27001, NIS-2, and DORA in the area of Identity & Access Management. This makes compliance a completed task – instead of an ongoing project on your to-do list.

FAQs
Do you have further questions? Feel free to schedule a non-binding discovery call.
How does Bare.ID differ from other IAM providers?
Bare.ID is based on a verifiable open-source core (Keycloak) and enhances it with enterprise features, a user-friendly admin interface, and optionally, stable, professional operation. The open architecture allows for a return to Keycloak at any time, preventing vendor lock-in. At the same time, Bare.ID relies entirely on a German supply chain across all business areas. You get a digitally sovereign IAM solution that also meets the high compliance requirements of the public sector, whether on-premises, self-hosted, hybrid, or as a SaaS variant.
What advantages does Bare.ID offer, especially compared to international providers?
Bare.ID guarantees 100% data sovereignty in Germany, GDPR compliance by design, German support, and contract law. Unlike US providers, there are no Cloud Act issues. The solution was developed specifically for European compliance requirements.
Who is Bare.ID suitable for?
Bare.ID is suitable for companies of all sizes and public institutions that need to authenticate employees, partners, or customers. The platform is particularly relevant for organizations that need to centrally manage many user groups or applications and have high demands on security, compliance, and flexibility.
Which applications can be connected to Bare.ID for Single Sign-On?
Nearly all modern applications can be connected via open standards such as SAML, OpenID Connect, and SCIM – from cloud services and specialized applications to internal web portals or in-house developments. The connection is standard-compliant and without proprietary extensions.
How does Bare.ID integrate with existing user and identity sources?
Bare.ID can integrate existing directory services such as Active Directory or HR systems. Identities, attributes, and roles are adopted and centrally processed, preventing the creation of parallel user bases. Third-party systems can remain the leading systems or be completely replaced. The integration of multiple (external) identity sources is also easily possible.
How can Bare.ID be integrated into the existing IT landscape?
Existing authentication solutions and applications can be integrated via standard interfaces or proprietary connections. Bare.ID can be connected to other IT systems via APIs and event interfaces such as Syslog – for example, for automated provisioning or for transferring events to SIEM systems. All relevant data is available via push and pull mechanisms.
Does Bare.ID support hybrid or on-premises models?
Yes. Bare.ID can be operated as SaaS, in hybrid environments, self-hosted, or entirely on-premises – depending on (security) requirements, IT strategy, and regulatory framework. All Bare.ID versions are identical across all operating models. Therefore, all functionalities are available in all models without any release delay.
How does IAM contribute to compliance?
An IAM system creates a central, auditable foundation for managing identities and access rights. Roles, permissions. Changes are documented in an audit-proof manner, access is logged, and authorization processes are consistently implemented. This enables the fulfillment of requirements from GDPR, NIS2, and ISO 27001 – such as controlled access to personal data, clear responsibilities, and transparent, verifiable security and administration processes.
Where is the data stored – and is Bare.ID suitable for KRITIS?
All data is processed exclusively in German data centers, which are certified, among others, according to ISO 27001 and BSI C5. Bare.ID also guarantees a completely German supply chain. This enables Bare.ID to support the requirements of KRITIS operators and other regulated organizations in implementing BSI guidelines and the NIS2 directive.
