The base layer of trust

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.

// the stacking model

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.

z:3

Your applications

Whatever you build sits on top — apps, files, fleets, weapons systems. Untouched, unencumbered.

z:2

Identity & access

Every actor verified, every request scoped. Policy that follows the data, not the perimeter.

z:1

Encryption mesh

Designed to seal data at rest, in motion, and in use — keys you hold, rotation you never think about.

z:0

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.

// solutions

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.

z:2

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
Explore Personal
z:0

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

// capabilities

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.

z:0Coming soon

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.

Coming soon

AI data classification

Designed to scan every file on ingest — sensitive content found, tagged, and governed before it can leak.

Coming soon

Policy that travels

Access rules are designed to bind to the data itself, enforced wherever it moves — across clouds, devices, and borders.

Coming soon

Hardware attestation

Built so every node proves it is what it claims before it joins — tamper leaves a permanent mark.

Coming soon

Continuous threat watch

Behavioral monitoring designed to surface anomalies across the stack in real time and contain them automatically.

Coming soon

Deploy anywhere

Built to deploy multi-cloud, on-prem, sovereign, or air-gapped — the same root of trust, wherever your infrastructure lives.

// verify, don't trust

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.

ziz proof
$ 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.
