Introduction to GRYDD

GRYDD is a modern, modular, and secure platform suite designed to provide comprehensive solutions for Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Web Application Security (WAF). It helps organizations safeguard their applications and user identities through centralized access control, authentication, and traffic protection mechanisms.

Core Modules​

IAM

The Identity and Access Management module that enables:

  • Multi-tenant user and role management
  • Authentication flows (password, OTP, WebAuthn, etc.)
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
  • Policy and governance enforcement

WAF

The Web Application Firewall module that provides:

  • Protection against OWASP top 10 threats
  • Request filtering and traffic inspection
  • Rate limiting and IP blocking
  • Integration with IAM for policy-driven security

Getting Started with GRYDD​

Follow this guide to set up and run GRYDD and its modules locally in minutes.

If using a private repo, ensure SSH or access token authentication is configured properly.

Step 2: Install Project Dependencies​

pnpm install
# or
npm install

Step 3: Start the Suite Locally​

You can choose to run either IAM, WAF, or both:

# To start the IAM module
pnpm dev:iam

# To start the WAF module
pnpm dev:waf

# To run the full suite together (if supported)
pnpm dev

Navigate to:

  • IAM: http://localhost:3000/iam
  • WAF: http://localhost:3000/waf

Step 4: Access the Admin Consoles​

Each module has its own dedicated admin interface.
