About

WAYF is a cybersecurity company based in Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark working in identity & access.

WAYF (Where Are You From) is the identity federation for research and education in Denmark and the North Atlantic. It allows users to reuse the login account from their home institution, such as a university or library, to access external online services without a separate login for each service. The federation handles protocol translation between service providers and institutions, releases only the user attributes a service needs, and supports single sign-on. WAYF is operated by DeiC (Danish e-Infrastructure Consortium), with infrastructure run by NORDUnet, and is certified under ISO 27001. It also connects Danish institutions to eduGAIN for international access, supports SIRTFI incident-handling practices, and provides access to NemLog-in for public sector services via MitID.
