An independent company
for organisations that take trust seriously
Certiva ApS is a Danish software company. We build IT security products for organisations that cannot afford to outsource their trust to a shared cloud halfway around the world.
Your data is yours
We build software on a single principle — your data belongs to you. Not to us, and certainly not to a third party. Certiva's business model is simple and refreshingly old-fashioned: you pay for a product, and that's the whole deal. We don't analyse your behaviour, we don't profile you, and we never sell your data to data brokers or ad networks. Data protection isn't a feature we bolt on — it's the business model.
That stands in sharp contrast to the model behind the ad-funded tech giants, where the product is ‘free’ because you are the product. Your data is harvested, linked and sold. We reject that trade-off. At Certiva, you are the customer, not the product.
Security software too often asks you to ship your most sensitive data into a shared, multi-tenant cloud outside the EU — and simply trust that it stays private. We think that trade-off is the wrong way round. Certiva builds tools where European hosting and customer isolation are the foundation, not an enterprise upsell.
- Each product solves one problem properly before we add the next
- EU infrastructure and a dedicated instance per customer, always
- Hardened defaults — we hold our own tools to the standard we sell
- Independently owned, so customers steer the roadmap, not investors
The principles behind every product
No data selling
We make money selling software, not your data. No tracking, no profiling, no selling to data brokers — privacy by default.
European sovereignty
Hosted in Frankfurt. Your data stays in the EU by design, not by configuration.
Isolation by default
A dedicated instance and database per customer. No shared pool, no shared risk.
Security-first
Audit logging, least privilege, and hardened defaults are table stakes, not extras.
Focused, not bloated
Deep, well-built tools beat sprawling platforms that do everything poorly.
