Enkrypt AI: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Enkrypt AI is an AI security platform focused on agentic AI. It offers red teaming of agents, runtime protection through guardrails, a policy engine for defining and enforcing agent policy, and an audit of data risk in datasets, fine-tunes and embeddings. It also provides a gateway and a scanner for MCP servers, and a scanner for agent skills. The platform translates frameworks such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and the EU AI Act into controls and guardrails that are enforced automatically.

Enkrypt AI is a US company with its address in Brighton, Massachusetts. On 4 August 2026 Anaconda, also a US company, announced that it had acquired Enkrypt AI; according to Anaconda the product remains available with no changes. The company therefore has a US parent, which matters to European organisations because of the CLOUD Act. The platform is not open source. The vendor's website gives no information on hosting regions or deployment options.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Enkrypt AI

Enkrypt AI 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.

Enkrypt AI hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

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