Our Mission
Simplifying information governance across all SaaS products used by all teams.
Our Leadership Team
Darin LaFramboise
Co-Founder and CEO
Darin has nearly two decades of expertise in product strategy and data science, spending time at Atlassian, Okta, and Meta. His experience includes driving growth strategies focused on developer platforms and advocating the pivotal role independent vendors play in platform ecosystems. Witnessing the global adoption of data regulations without easy and accessible compliance solutions spurred the inception of OpusGuard. Darin envisions the next decade to revolve around enforcing the data policies of the last. Motivated by the imperative to safeguard individual data, as a customer or an employee, he founded OpusGuard to bridge compliance platforms with the myriad of SaaS products teams use every day.
