Elekta: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Elekta supplies radiotherapy and radiosurgery systems and oncology software. Its range includes treatment delivery systems such as Elekta Unity, Versa HD and Harmony, brachytherapy products including the Flexitron afterloader and Oncentra Brachy planning software, and neurosurgery products around the Leksell Stereotactic System and Gamma Knife. On the software side, it offers the MOSAIQ oncology information system, the Monaco treatment planning system and software branded Elekta ONE. Elekta Axis Cloud is a managed hosting service for Elekta oncology software.

Elekta was founded in 1972 and is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with offices in more than 40 countries. It has been listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since 1994. Axis is built on Microsoft Azure, so its infrastructure provider is a US company; Elekta states that Axis includes features to meet French and EU data sovereignty and privacy rules and that availability depends on Azure's regional footprint. The pages consulted do not name specific hosting regions. A European organisation should confirm the region and the contractual safeguards before choosing Axis. The products are proprietary and not open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Elekta

Elekta is headquartered in SE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Elekta hosts data in EU, US. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

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