ATTACK Simulator: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

ATTACK Simulator is a security awareness platform from ATTACK Simulator S.R.L. It offers phishing simulations, ransomware simulations and information-security courses. Employees learn from the simulated attacks how to react better next time. According to the vendor, it works with an automatic training plan. Administrators use an admin panel and an educational platform, partners have a partner portal, and API documentation is available. Interactive security games are still in development, according to the website. The site does not use the term SaaS, but access is through web portals.

The company is a Romanian limited company with its registered office in Cluj; its terms describe it as a Romanian entity. The website says nothing about its owners, and the sources consulted name no parent company outside Europe. The privacy policy does not state where the platform's data is hosted, so ask the vendor for the location and the sub-processors before you have employee data processed. As a Romanian provider, the company falls under European law, including the GDPR.

Why digital sovereignty matters with ATTACK Simulator

ATTACK Simulator is headquartered in RO and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so ATTACK Simulator scores best on data residency.

ATTACK Simulator 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 ATTACK Simulator together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
