EnforceAuth vs Styra
EnforceAuth vs Styra is an OPA control-plane comparison. Operate EnforceAuth from Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT through our hosted MCP server. Styra historically centered enterprise OPA / DAS-style policy management. EnforceAuth extends OPA; it does not replace OPA runtimes.
Teams leaving Styra DAS or Enterprise OPA patterns usually want incremental migration: keep customer-deployed OPA, centralize authoring, bundles, and audit, then add agent tooling.
EnforceAuth adds Assess (Zift), Govern (Writ), Evaluate (Herald MCP), and Defend (Verdict) around that OPA fabric — including Free Tier decision volume for evaluation.
See /migration for the path off Styra DAS, and /opa-control-plane for the OPA control plane EnforceAuth runs.
Apple acqui-hired Styra. The creators of Open Policy Agent, along with many team members from Styra, joined Apple, and OPA remains a CNCF project [1]. Oso calls the move an acqui-hire and describes Styra's commercial offering as being sunset [2].
