Time to value

Moderate Setup (1-3 days/weeks, depending on data sources & compliance needs)

You can use OPAQUE when you need to use proprietary, regulated, or sensitive data for AI/ML (like RAG, analytics, or multi-agent systems) without leaking anything. It supports workflows in Python, Spark, REST APIs, and no-code interfaces; enforcement of governance policies; and logs/audit trails that are cryptographically verifiable. Strong use cases include fraud detection, private LLMs, secure analytics across data silos, or bringing AI into environments where compliance is critical.
