Made in Europe, built for SMEs.
The compliance tool SMEs in Europe and Chile deserved.
The thistle is a thick-stemmed plant, armed with spines, that few dare to touch. Carduelis carduelis, the European goldfinch, extracts exactly what it needs where others see only obstacles.
That is how we see compliance.
For many SMEs it is their thistle, dense regulations, questionnaires and audits nobody wants to touch. At Kardu we go right in and extract what your company needs to prove its security and keep growing.
What Kardu won't negotiate.
Every product and architecture decision passes through these three filters. They are the same filters we demand from any provider that touches our clients' data.
Security by design
We build Kardu with the same principles we preach. Every architecture decision prioritizes the security and privacy of our clients' data.
Europe by design
We are not an American company with servers in Europe. We are a European product, built for European companies, with data hosted in the EU and every exception documented.
The human always decides
No decision affecting compliance status is made without explicit human action. Automation prepares. The human judges.
The system never asserts non-compliance, it signals gaps
No evidence, no control
Every action generates an immutable record
Public pricing. No mandatory demo
Data in Frankfurt. Exceptions, always documented
Open sub-processors. Always
