Duna: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Duna is an AI-native business identity platform for KYB, KYC and AML compliance. It automates the onboarding of business customers and their periodic reviews: it collects evidence from company registries, applies compliance policy defined as code, supports case management with analyst review and audit trails, and runs ongoing screening for sanctions, politically exposed persons and adverse media. It targets banks, fintechs and platform companies, and is delivered as a platform that customers integrate into their onboarding journeys, including low-code and no-code flows.

Duna is headquartered in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, and was founded in 2023. The sources consulted do not name a non-European parent company, and the vendor does not describe a self-hosted or open-source option. Its public pages do not state where customer data is hosted, so an organisation should ask for the hosting regions and sub-processors in the data processing agreement before it relies on EU-only processing. The company is Dutch, so EU law applies to it directly.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Duna

Duna is headquartered in NL 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 Duna scores best on data residency.

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