EverTrust: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

EverTrust is a French software company for managing digital certificates. Its portfolio includes Stream, a PKI platform that hosts several certificate authorities in one installation and handles issuance and revocation, and Horizon, a certificate lifecycle management product covering discovery, governance and automated renewal. Further modules cover cryptographic posture analysis and domain control validation automation. Stream works with hardware security modules and with key services from AWS, Azure and Google. The software can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud or in a hybrid setup.

EverTrust is headquartered in Paris. No majority owner outside France has been identified. The vendor reports that Stream 1.3.0 has an ANSSI CSPN certification. With on-premises use, keys and certificate data stay within your own infrastructure; where data sits for the cloud service depends on the chosen setup. For European organisations it is a European alternative to Keyfactor, Venafi and DigiCert.

Why digital sovereignty matters with EverTrust

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

EverTrust runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

EverTrust is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs EverTrust together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
