Dante Labs: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Dante Labs offers clinical whole-genome sequencing for consumers and clinicians. According to the company, it was founded in 2016. Its Genome Test sequences the full genome, including the regions between genes, and delivers clinical reports covering SNPs, indels, structural variants and CNVs. It also offers an RNA Profile and an oncology product. Customers order a home kit, send in a saliva sample and receive results through the Genome Manager portal. According to the website, sequencing takes place in laboratories in Europe and the United States that are accredited under ISO 15189, CLIA and CAP.

In 2019 Dante Labs announced a sequencing centre at its European headquarters in Italy, equipped with Illumina instruments. The website states that data handling is covered by GDPR and HIPAA and that data is stored permanently, but not where. The pages reviewed also do not name an owner. The service is not open source and cannot be self-hosted. Because genomic data is involved, you should ask beforehand where samples and data are processed and stored.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Dante Labs

Dante Labs is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model. The ultimate owner is based in AE. Foreign control undermines part of the certainty a European headquarters offers.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Dante Labs scores best on data residency.

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