Unlocking AI-Powered Software Development with Confidential Data: Bloomfilter x OPAQUE

Bloomfilter, a leader in AI-driven process mining for the software development lifecycle (SDLC), empowers technology leaders to uncover bottlenecks, reduce risk, and drive better business outcomes. Their platform provides deep visibility into every stage of the SDLC by ingesting and analyzing data from tools like Jira and GitHub, surfacing actionable insights for teams and executives alike.

However, as Bloomfilter expanded its suite to include large language models and advanced AI features, questions about data privacy, security, and intellectual property risk became critical barriers, especially for blue-chip enterprise clients.

By partnering with OPAQUE, Bloomfilter was able to deliver provable guarantees of data privacy and sovereignty, accelerate enterprise adoption of their most advanced AI features, and unlock new value for their customers. In just weeks, Bloomfilter saw sales cycles contract, enterprise objections dissolve, and platform “stickiness” rise as clients embraced capabilities once held back by security concerns. Today, Bloomfilter delivers on its mission with the confidence that customer data—and business reputations—are protected by confidential AI.

Bloomfilter: Bringing Clarity and Control to the SDLC

Modern software development is a labyrinth of tasks, tools, and stakeholders. CTOs and product leaders crave transparency—into costs, bottlenecks, rework, and risks—but siloed data and legacy processes keep these answers out of reach. Bloomfilter set out to change that by providing AI-powered process mining and analytics for the SDLC, connecting the dots from code commits to business outcomes.

“With Bloomfilter, we can surface where teams lose momentum—down to specific processes and bottlenecks. Our CTOs value that the data stays private and in our control, even as we unlock insights for both engineering and product. Now, both teams align on what’s slowing us down and how to fix it, all with audit-ready security in place.”— Andrew Wolfe, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Bloomfilter

As Bloomfilter’s features evolved—especially with AI-powered risk analysis and generative insights—so did the stakes. Clients began to ask: How can we be sure our sensitive data is safe from leaks, competitive threats, and emerging AI attack vectors?

The Challenge: Data Privacy, AI Risk, and Adoption Barriers

Bloomfilter’s most innovative AI features required ingesting and analyzing customer data from systems like Jira and GitHub—data that often includes intellectual property, known software vulnerabilities, user stories, and more. Security-conscious clients, especially in highly regulated sectors, raised concerns about:

* Potential intellectual property leakage
* Data exhaust being weaponized via AI
* Compliance with strict privacy mandates
* Losing control over how and where data was processed by third-party models

These concerns led to drawn-out security reviews, delayed deals, and in some cases, customers disabling Bloomfilter’s most valuable AI-powered features.

“Some clients loved our AI roadmap but refused to activate key features due to privacy concerns. We realized our growth and renewal rates were at risk if we couldn’t provide airtight assurances.”— Andrew Wolfe, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Bloomfilter

The Solution: Confidential AI with OPAQUE

Bloomfilter turned to OPAQUE’s confidential computing platform to give customers the robust, audit-ready privacy guarantees they demanded—without sacrificing performance, agility, or time-to-value. With a focus on enabling confidential agents for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), Bloomfilter could now offer its most advanced AI capabilities while maintaining strict data privacy controls.

Working closely with OPAQUE's customer success team, Bloomfilter was able to:

* Deploy AI workloads—including confidential agents for retrieval-augmented generation—in secure, confidential environments (on Azure and beyond)
* Integrate rapidly via an Azure Marketplace package, rolling out pilot implementations in days
* Showcase architecture diagrams that proved customer data would remain private—even across multi-cloud deployments
* Eliminate the need for code rewrites, accelerating time to adoption

With OPAQUE, Bloomfilter could assure clients: their data, models, and analysis outputs remained encrypted and strictly controlled at every stage.

The Results: Faster Deals, Full Adoption, and Business Growth

The impact was both immediate and measurable:

* Sales Conversion: Bloomfilter saw a 57% increase in sales conversion rates on large enterprise pursuits.
* Sales Cycle: Security review time dropped by 32%, shaving an average of 28 days off new deals.
* AI Feature Adoption: The share of customers activating Bloomfilter’s most advanced AI features jumped from 46% to over 90%—with full adoption now in sight.
* Platform Stickiness: Engagement metrics shifted from monthly to daily active usage as customers embraced AI-powered insights.

After OPAQUE launched, the response was immediate. CTOs who needed hybrid deployments unlocked full access with private, vendor-agnostic integrations. CIOs dropped their privacy objections as soon as automated, tamper-proof audits landed on their desks.

“Our technical stakeholders kept telling us, ‘We’re finally able to use confidential AI without compromising our environment or losing control of our data.’ Once those hurdles dropped, adoption soared. Even our most risk-conscious clients are using every feature, and we’re seeing daily engagement numbers we never hit before.” — Erik Severinghaus, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Bloomfilter

Equally important, Bloomfilter now positions itself as a privacy-first innovator, earning the trust of both technical and business leaders.

Looking Ahead

Today, Bloomfilter and OPAQUE continue to collaborate on next-generation features, such as confidential agents for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), deepening the value proposition for enterprise customers. The result: Bloomfilter’s clients can innovate with confidence, accelerate time-to-value from AI, and protect the sensitive data at the heart of their businesses.

Bloomfilter’s partnership with OPAQUE exemplifies how forward-thinking SaaS leaders are turning privacy and security from obstacles into powerful enablers for growth, adoption, and differentiation in the era of AI.
