CY4GATE: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

CY4GATE is an Italian company based in Rome that develops cybersecurity and intelligence technologies for complex and critical environments. Its portfolio covers three areas: cyber security, decision intelligence and forensic intelligence. According to the company's website, it is part of the ELT group. The site does not say whether its products are delivered as a cloud service or as on-premise software, so the delivery model has to be confirmed for each product.

The website names no majority shareholder, does not state where customer data is hosted, and does not say whether any product is open source. As an EU-established provider, the company falls under the GDPR for its processing activities. A European organisation should still confirm hosting locations, support access and the scope of the products for its specific use case, and obtain these terms in writing, before choosing this option.

Why digital sovereignty matters with CY4GATE

CY4GATE is headquartered in IT 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 CY4GATE scores best on data residency.

CY4GATE 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 CY4GATE together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
