Cloud-IAM: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Cloud-IAM is a managed service for Keycloak, the open-source identity and access management platform. Each customer gets a dedicated Keycloak environment that the vendor provisions and operates, with support and an SLA. Cloud-IAM also offers machine-to-machine security and an Extended Security Lifecycle for Keycloak versions that the project no longer supports. Cloud-IAM states that it is not affiliated with Red Hat, the holder of the Keycloak trademark.

Cloud-IAM SAS is based in Rennes, France; no parent company is named. The customer chooses the infrastructure provider: Scaleway and Outscale in Europe, or AWS, Google Cloud and Azure with regions worldwide. According to its sub-processor list, EU deployments involve no transfers outside the EU, apart from cold disaster-recovery backups held in a French data centre. AWS, Google and Microsoft are US companies, so a deployment on them, even in an EU region, can fall under the US CLOUD Act. Cloud-IAM publishes a data processing agreement.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Cloud-IAM

Cloud-IAM is headquartered in FR 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 Cloud-IAM scores best on data residency.

Cloud-IAM 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 Cloud-IAM together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
