Enterprise-grade security, none of the enterprise

Everything starts locked. Single sign-on, least-privilege access, approval gates, and audit trails — built in, so there's nothing for anyone to wire up or get wrong.

The security a big company demands usually comes with a big-company project attached: stand up a platform, wire in an identity layer, keep a team on it. Croft gives your team the same guardrails as a setting, not a project. Here’s the principle behind it: everything starts locked.

Nothing on your croft is open until you open it. A new app starts with access to nothing — it can’t reach your data, your connected tools, or your other apps until you allow it. People start with access to nothing — you add someone once and they can open exactly the apps you choose, nothing more. Sensitive data sources can require an admin’s approval before any app or person uses them. Access is something you grant, on purpose, and on the record.

The riskiest part of any app is the login. On Croft, your apps don’t contain one — the platform does it for them. Enterprise single sign-on sits in front of every app, with passkeys instead of passwords. Identity is checked at the gate, before a request ever reaches your app, so an AI-built app never touches security code. It can’t ship a broken login page, because it doesn’t contain one.

And it’s all written down. Who was added, who can open what, which data source was connected and approved — logged, so the answer to “who can reach our billing data?” is a page you pull up, not a guess.

Underneath, it runs on a private server that’s yours — real isolation, encrypted and tested backups, every deploy reversible in one click. Security you can trust, without a lock on the door out: export everything any time.
