Fudo Security: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Fudo Security develops privileged access management (PAM) software. It controls how administrators and third parties reach remote systems, records their sessions for audit, and stores credentials in a vault. Its main product, Fudo Enterprise, is an agentless gateway that is deployed on the customer's network in bastion, proxy or tunnel mode. A cloud-based remote access product, Fudo Connect, is also offered. Behavioural analysis is used to flag risky sessions, which can be paused or terminated.

Fudo Security sp. z o.o. is registered in Warsaw and was founded in 2012. The company received a growth investment from the bValue Growth Fund in 2025, and its pages name no majority owner. Because Fudo Enterprise runs on the customer's own infrastructure, session recordings and credentials can remain within the organisation's environment. The privacy policy refers to the GDPR, and the homepage states that access logs, metadata and control stay within European jurisdiction.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Fudo Security

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

Fudo Security 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.

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