Five things that might surprise you about ORIGIN

ORIGIN is a data governance platform that helps businesses manage and protect their data.

ORIGIN is a data governance platform that gives clients the ability to maintain a detailed and dynamic overview of their data (documents, files, etc.). Like Google Docs or Microsoft 365, ORIGIN is a platform where users upload, interact with, and manage their data. But rather than just serving as a document storage space, ORIGIN is a dynamic data governance platform that gives users fine-grained access control, version control, and non-repudiable data chain of custody.

ORIGIN empowers clients to safeguard and leverage their data all at once. But what is it that might surprise you about the platform?

1. ORIGIN emerged from our experience in the Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and Digital Risk Protection (DRP) spaces. We realized that far too many businesses are challenged by the fact that they have a vast mix of intermittently reliable external data sources. This situation makes it incredibly costly and challenging — if not impossible — to sustain data integrity, security, and compliance.

2. By employing a decentralized data pipeline architecture, ORIGIN is uniquely situated to enforce data sovereignty, differential privacy, and zero trust principals. What's a data pipeline? Take a quick look at this blog post from IBM.

3. ORIGIN is a middleware. What's a middleware? It's a software that 'acts like the connective tissue between applications, data, and users," according to this Red Hat blog post.

4. ORIGIN is fully federated, which means that your data stays where you are. Why does this matter? Try $1.3 billion in fines for Meta for sending EU resident data to the U.S.

5. ORIGIN is 100% open source, giving clients complete control to create the platform that they need and that services their data needs best. Need a refresher on what open source means? Wikipedia to the rescue!
