Security that
sits beneath everything.
Z‑index Zero builds layered protection for the data your world runs on — from a single person's files to enterprise fleets to defense-grade systems. One root of trust, every layer above it.
Everything is built on
a layer. We are the zero layer.
In any stack, z-index: 0 is the plane every other element is measured against. We took the name literally: the trust your systems inherit comes from the layer underneath them.
Your applications
Whatever you build sits on top — apps, files, fleets, weapons systems. Untouched, unencumbered.
Identity & access
Every actor verified, every request scoped. Policy that follows the data, not the perimeter.
Encryption mesh
Designed to seal data at rest, in motion, and in use — keys you hold, rotation you never think about.
Z-index Zero — root of trust
The hardware-anchored base layer everything else is built to stack on — tamper-evident and attestable by design, ours to defend.
One platform.
Three depths of protection.
The same root of trust scales from a single person to a nation's most sensitive systems. Each tier is in development — the lists below are what it's built to include.
Personal
For individuals & families
A private vault for the documents that define your life. Encrypted, portable, yours alone.
- End-to-end encrypted file vault
- Passwordless device sign-in
- Inheritance & emergency access
- Breach alerts
Enterprise
For teams & regulated industry
Org-wide data governance with policy that travels with every file across every system you run.
- Everything in Personal
- SSO, SCIM & granular RBAC
- Automated classification & DLP
- Audit-ready evidence & reporting
- Tamper-evident audit ledger
Defense
For government & critical missions
Air-gap-ready, hardware-anchored security for the systems where failure is not an option.
- Everything in Enterprise
- Hardware root of trust & attestation
- Sovereign & air-gap-ready deployment
- FedRAMP / IL5 on our roadmap
- Continuous attestation & monitoring
Built into the
foundation.
Not bolted on after the fact. Every capability is designed to live in the base layer, so protection is inherited — never reconfigured for each app you ship.
Zero-knowledge encryption
Data sealed with keys we can never see. Even we can't read what you store — enforced by architecture, not access policy. This is the guarantee everything else inherits.
AI data classification
Designed to scan every file on ingest — sensitive content found, tagged, and governed before it can leak.
Policy that travels
Access rules are designed to bind to the data itself, enforced wherever it moves — across clouds, devices, and borders.
Hardware attestation
Built so every node proves it is what it claims before it joins — tamper leaves a permanent mark.
Continuous threat watch
Behavioral monitoring designed to surface anomalies across the stack in real time and contain them automatically.
Deploy anywhere
Built to deploy multi-cloud, on-prem, sovereign, or air-gapped — the same root of trust, wherever your infrastructure lives.
Don't take our word
for it. Run it.
Isolation is the whole point, so we made it testable. Point npx @zindexzero/sdk proof at two keys and it shows each tenant can read only its own data — the credential fence, runnable in one command.
$ npx @zindexzero/sdk proof✓ tenant A planted a secretZIZ-PROOF-A-…✓ tenant B planted a secretZIZ-PROOF-B-…✓ A retrieves its own secret✓ B retrieves its own secret✓ A cannot reach B's secret(fenced)✓ B cannot reach A's secret(fenced)RESULT: PASSED — each tenant sees only its own data.
Built to the standards
your auditors expect.
Trust shouldn't be a marketing word. We're engineering Z‑index Zero to meet the frameworks regulated and defense customers depend on — and we'll show the audits as we earn them, not before.
