Control what software sends, sees, and permits.
Cardean builds security, privacy and governance infrastructure for AI, analytics and identity—so organisations can move quickly without losing oversight.
Gateway launches August 2026. Analytics follows in 2026, Identity in 2027.
Modern software moves faster than organisational control.
Teams can add a model, an analytics script or a new login method in an afternoon. What follows is harder: understanding where data goes, deciding which use is allowed, keeping access consistent and producing evidence after the system changes.
Cardean puts control at the boundary itself—where a request leaves an application, an event becomes insight or an identity receives access.
Cardean Gateway
Put every AI request under policy.
One governed path between your applications and AI models. Route traffic, protect sensitive data, control cost, observe behaviour and retain a useful audit trail.
Launching August 2026
Cardean Analytics
Measure what matters. Leave people out of it.
Privacy-aware site and product analytics that provides useful aggregate insight without persistent visitor profiles or unnecessary data collection.
In development — early access in 2026
Cardean Identity
Identity with boundaries built in.
Authentication and access infrastructure for people, organisations and services—with open standards, strong controls and explainable access decisions.
In development — early access in 2027Policy should be part of the path, not a document beside it.
Every Cardean product is built around four practical requirements.
Declare
Define which models, events, identities and actions are allowed.
Enforce
Apply policy where data and decisions actually move.
Record
Keep the evidence needed to understand behaviour and investigate change.
Choose
Retain meaningful control over deployment, providers and data location.
Give technical and governance teams the same system to reason about.
For engineering teams
Integrate once, keep existing workflows and make platform controls reusable across products and teams.
For security teams
Centralise policy, credentials, access and review at the boundaries with the greatest exposure.
For privacy teams
Make data flows, collection choices, retention and exceptions easier to inspect.
For leadership
Replace scattered assurances with an operating view of what is approved, used and changing.
European by foundation. Useful anywhere control matters.
Cardean is built in Europe around data minimisation, open interfaces, meaningful deployment choice and accountable operation. We do not treat geography as a substitute for architecture: trust comes from clear data flows, enforceable controls and evidence that can be examined.
Start with the boundary every AI request already crosses.
Cardean Gateway gives teams a governed route from applications to AI models. Built for organisations that need more than model switching: runtime policy, protected data flows, resilient delivery, cost controls and evidence that can withstand review.
