Cirpack IMS & SBC: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Cirpack supplies software for telecom operators and service providers: an IMS core network with a Multimedia Telephony Application Server, a Session Border Controller (SBC) for SIP interconnection and network protection, number-portability platforms and a managed core-network service. The products are software-based, virtualisable and modular, built on 3GPP standards such as TS 24.229. Operators install them in their own infrastructure; in addition, Cirpack offers Uniquity, a cloud PBX service that it operates itself.

Cirpack is a French company based in Issy-les-Moulineaux and describes itself as an independent, privately owned European vendor; no foreign parent company is mentioned. When installed in-house, the operator decides where traffic and subscriber data resides. For the Uniquity service run by Cirpack, the website does not state a data location, so ask. For a European operator this means a supplier under European law with the option of fully self-controlled hosting.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Cirpack IMS & SBC

Cirpack IMS & SBC is headquartered in France and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Cirpack IMS & SBC runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

Cirpack IMS & SBC is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Cirpack IMS & SBC together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
