Epiteera: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Epiteera is a web service that automatically assesses the security of a Microsoft 365 environment. An administrator signs in with the Microsoft 365 account and connects the tenant; Epiteera reads configuration data only, not the contents of files or emails. The analysis covers four areas: devices, identities and access, data protection, and collaboration settings in Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive. You get a dashboard with findings scored by severity, remediation steps and a tenant overview. Plans exist for small and mid-sized businesses, larger organisations, and IT providers managing several client tenants. Epiteera is delivered as SaaS by Kleeo GmbH.

Kleeo GmbH is based in Glattpark, Switzerland. Switzerland is not an EU member state but is an EFTA country with an adequacy decision from the European Commission. According to the privacy policy, the service runs on Microsoft Azure in Switzerland and Europe, and data processing is primarily subject to Swiss law, with GDPR requirements met where they apply. The service is therefore built on Microsoft infrastructure, a US provider. The vendor states nothing about a parent company of Kleeo.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Epiteera

Epiteera is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

Epiteera hosts data in the EU and in Switzerland. Switzerland is covered by a European Commission adequacy decision, so personal data can go there without extra safeguards. If you require strictly EU hosting, check the data processing agreement for which data is stored in Switzerland.

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