Freja eID: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Freja eID is a Swedish digital identity service. Users prove their identity with a mobile app and use it to log in to online services offered by participating organisations. Freja eID Sign adds electronic signatures in the same app or through integrations with signing service providers, and the company states that its signatures are GDPR- and eIDAS-compliant. The service is delivered as a mobile app and through an API for integrators.

Freja eID Group AB (publ) is a Swedish company listed on Nasdaq First North Premier, so its headquarters and operator are in the EU. According to the company's compliance information, its top-level eID product is approved under eIDAS at the 'substantial' assurance level. That is an identity assurance level, not automatically the qualified trust status used for qualified signatures; qualified signature levels are offered through integrators. The public pages reviewed do not state where customer data is hosted, and the service is not open source. European organisations should therefore check the hosting location and the contract terms of the integrator they use.
