Architecture

1Password’s production architecture is centered on a zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted vault service, where plaintext is encrypted on the client before reaching 1Password’s servers. Publicly available sources confirm hybrid cloud deployment patterns for components such as the SCIM bridge, but they do not reliably expose the company’s full internal database stack or all backend infrastructure details.

Architecture

Wiz operates a proprietary, agentless CNAPP delivered as a SaaS platform that connects into customer AWS, Azure, and GCP environments via cloud APIs, ingests configuration, workload, identity, and data signals into a centralized Wiz Security Graph, and exposes findings through a single multi-tenant console.[6][8][10] The core analytics, correlation, and visualization engine is built around this internal graph store and scanning pipeline, backed by cloud-native storage and compute services in multiple public clouds.[3][6]
