Alice (formerly ActiveFence): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Alice, known as ActiveFence until January 2026, provides trust, safety and security tooling for generative AI applications, agents and models, and for platforms with user-generated content. Its WonderSuite approach includes WonderBuild for pre-launch red-teaming, WonderFence for runtime guardrails, WonderCheck for continuous automated testing and Alice Labs for adversarial research and model evaluation. The services are delivered as a cloud platform connected to the customer's applications.

The company is privately held and has offices in Tel Aviv and New York; its privacy policy names ActiveFence Ltd as the entity, which points to an Israeli group seat. According to the privacy policy, the central database is operated in the United States and Canada, and for EEA and UK data processing runs at AWS on servers in the US. No European region is mentioned. The policy refers to standard contractual clauses and a dedicated data processing agreement for business customers. European organisations should therefore plan for transfers outside the EEA.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Alice (formerly ActiveFence)

Alice (formerly ActiveFence) is headquartered in IL, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

Alice (formerly ActiveFence) hosts data outside the EU (US, OTHER). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Alice (formerly ActiveFence) is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Alice (formerly ActiveFence) together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
