Ethlen Solutions builds EU‑first, privacy-forward software and processes that let mission-driven teams govern sensitive data without surrendering control to bigger platforms.
"Ethlen" means seed or kernel, derived from the Irish myth of Étaín. We exist to protect what's vital at the core—your data and your governance—so you can grow without being absorbed by larger entities.
Own your data, keys, and exit path. We design systems where your organization retains control at every layer.
We stay intentionally small so we can be precise, auditable, and responsive—without the bloat that invites risk.
Clear roles, verifiable processes, and logs you can actually read. Governance that stands up under scrutiny.
These are the promises we design and build against—every engagement, every line of code.
Small, expert teams. Senior hands doing the work.
Design and build privacy‑forward data products (e.g., DigitalCabinet) with clear governance and auditability.
Consent flows, role‑based access, and participant‑first processes aligned with EU expectations.
Practical identity, consent tracking, and secure data contribution with transparent ownership.
EU‑first infrastructure with data residency in Ireland and exit‑ready architecture.
Evidence‑driven controls and documentation (we're engineers, not lawyers) to pass real scrutiny.
From legacy systems to modern stacks without compromising sovereignty.
Ethlen draws from the Irish word for seed or kernel and from Étaín, a mother‑figure in Irish myth. We build for what is at the core—protecting the seed so it can grow on its own terms. We stay small, precise, and protective by design.
