47Network is a Romanian technology company building privacy-first products and expert infrastructure services. Based in Bucharest. Operating globally. Uncompromising on standards.
The default internet asks you to pay with your attention and your data. We think that's the wrong deal.
Most technology companies are built around a fundamental asymmetry: they know everything about you, and you know almost nothing about what they do with it. Advertising-funded products have a structural incentive to maximise data collection, not minimise it. "Free" services are businesses that happen to use your data as inventory. We find this model intellectually dishonest and practically harmful.
We started building 47Network because we wanted to use products we could trust — and trust not as a brand promise, but as a verifiable cryptographic property. PassVault doesn't ask you to trust us with your passwords; it's mathematically structured so that we cannot read them. 47mail doesn't ask you to trust us with your messages; the keys live on your device. These aren't marketing claims, they're design constraints we work within.
The Studio exists because most organisations that want sovereign, self-hosted infrastructure don't have the in-house expertise to build it safely. We do. We've built the same things for ourselves, and we make them available as services — with the same standards we hold our own infrastructure to, and with the explicit goal of leaving clients more capable than when we found them.
We're a Romanian company, and that matters to us. Romania has strong technical talent, a European legal framework, and infrastructure that keeps data in the EU. We're building a technology company that doesn't require you to trust a foreign jurisdiction with your data, because your data stays here — in infrastructure you control, under law you understand.
A privacy policy can be changed at any time. Cryptographic architecture cannot. We design systems where the privacy guarantee is a mathematical property of the implementation, not a promise dependent on our continued goodwill.
Every 47Network product can be deployed on your own infrastructure. We offer hosted instances for convenience, but you're never required to trust our servers. The code is open, the data is yours.
The Studio's success metric is not repeat engagement — it's how capable your team is at the end. We write runbooks non-engineers can follow, train thoroughly, and avoid complexity that creates dependency.
No free tiers designed to harvest data. No upsell through artificial limitations. No hidden auto-renewal. We charge what things cost, state it plainly, and let you decide.
Security cannot be retrofitted. It must be in the architecture from the first decision. We apply the same zero-trust principles to our own infrastructure that we deploy for clients.
The components users must trust most — PassVault client encryption, 47mail client, OpenClaw protocol — are open source. Verify the code, not the marketing.
Every product shares the same zero-trust identity layer, zero-knowledge encryption principles, and self-hosting architecture.
"We started building these tools because we wanted to use them ourselves. PassVault because every existing password manager either required trusting a company with your keys or was too complex to run. 47mail because Google Workspace for a small organisation means paying Google to read your email. The Studio because we kept seeing organisations with good intentions and terrible infrastructure making avoidable mistakes.
The thing that connects all of it is a belief that ownership matters. Owning your data, owning your infrastructure, owning your tools. Not as an ideological position but as a practical one: things you own cannot be rug-pulled, sold to a competitor, or made more expensive when the VC money runs out.
47Network exists to make ownership the path of least resistance, not the hard option."
— Founders, 47Network · Bucharest, 2025What would become PassVault and an early Matrix bridge prototype are built for internal use. CutUR Link is a weekend project that starts getting shared externally.
Word-of-mouth brings the first paying Studio clients: a Bucharest law firm and an NGO needing secure communications. Both engagements shape the standard Studio delivery methodology.
The shared zero-trust core — 47ID, HashiCorp Vault, Pomerium, Argo CD — is designed and deployed as the backbone shared by all products.
47Network launches with CutUR Link (live), 47Comms (live), PassVault (beta), and 47mail (beta). The Studio opens for infrastructure engagements.
TestGate Studio partnership announced for QA services." data-ro="Produsul de securitate perimetrală bazat pe eBPF/XDP intră în beta public. Parteneriat TestGate Studio anunțat pentru servicii QA.">The eBPF/XDP perimeter security product enters public beta. TestGate Studio partnership announced for QA services.
Sven Agent opens to the public with OpenClaw Protocol v1.0. 47Housing enters private beta. Studio expands to 4 new infrastructure slots.
We're a small team and we read every email. For product questions, general enquiries, or if you want to explore working together.
47Network starts as a privacy-first infrastructure consultancy. First clients: fintech and legal firms needing self-hosted, zero-trust infrastructure they actually own.
First products leave the consultancy model: 47ID (Keycloak-based SSO) and PassVault (client-side AES-256-GCM vault with TOTP) reach internal beta. Zero-knowledge architecture proven in production.
47Comms launches as a live product — SMS inbox, PBX bridge, consent management. Matrix homeserver deployments begin for enterprise clients who need sovereign, self-hosted communications.
47Sentry enters beta. eBPF/XDP-based perimeter security, DNS resilience, and NetMapper reach clients. First hardware maintenance contracts signed.
47Network Studio partners with TestGate Studio for full-spectrum QA. Sven Agent enters beta — the open agentic platform with mission orchestration and tamper-proof audit.
47Housing and Plate-to-Plate expand the consumer layer. The studio takes on larger infrastructure engagements across Europe. Roadmap: federated identity across the full product suite, and external API access for all products.
We stay deliberately small. Every person who works on a 47Network engagement knows the full stack — there are no handoffs between a sales team and a delivery team. The person you talk to is the person who builds it.
Zero-trust stack design, Kubernetes cluster operations, GitOps pipelines, and the Vault + Keycloak + Argo CD engine that underpins every client engagement.
Client-side encryption design, eBPF/XDP perimeter security, security audit methodology, and the zero-knowledge architecture shared across all 47Network products.
Quality assurance across all 47Network products and client engagements, delivered in partnership with TestGate Studio — web, mobile, API, desktop, and game QA.
Agentic platform development, skill orchestration, LLM integration, and the OpenClaw protocol that makes Sven Agent self-hostable and auditable by design.
We're always open to working with people who share our values. No recruiters.
Technical writing from the people who build and maintain 47Network products and Studio engagements.
Identity-first networking, least-privilege access, and why zero-trust isn't just for enterprises — the philosophy that shapes how we design every client infrastructure.
The architectural decisions behind Sven Agent — OpenClaw skill protocol, tamper-proof audit architecture, and why every capability trade-off starts with auditability.
SHA-256 chaining, append-only PostgreSQL enforcement, S3 Object Lock anchoring — the audit log architecture we ship in every security-sensitive product and engagement.
