KPN / Grip API
Identity management platform
Easy and secure access to corporate applications
Grip is KPN’s corporate identity and access management solution. Securely hosted in KPN’s datacenters in the Netherlands.
Grip acts as a central identity hub between your services (applications) and your users or customers. You decide which authentication methods you make available to your users.
A service can integrate with the Grip platform on three levels:
- Authentication (single sign-on)
- User provisioning
- Authorization management (roles and scopes)
The Grip architecture strives for a generic structure to link these services. The coupling points with Grip are based on open standards and allow the services to function as autonomously and independently as possible.
Grip has been designed for the corporate market.
- High availability
- 24/7 support
- ISO 9001, 27001, 23201, and 27017 certified with annual external audits
- Advanced rights structures which reflect your organization
- Well documented

This makes the platform capable of supporting organizations of all sizes, from small and medium sized enterprises to large enterprises. How do we know? Because thousands and thousands of organizations use Grip on a daily basis already, including KPN itself.
As KPN's identity and access management solution, Grip acts as a central identity hub between your services & applications and your users or customers. You can choose from multiple authentication methods, such as: Credentials, SMS token, Mail Token, Authentication app, Mobile Connect, Microsoft account, Google account, GitHub account and ADFS integration.
