Holm Security: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Holm Security is a Swedish provider of a vulnerability management platform that combines attack surface management with vulnerability scanning. Its modules cover security for systems and networks, web applications and APIs, cloud environments (CSPM), Active Directory and OT environments, plus phishing simulation with awareness training. Organisations use it to scan their IT environment continuously and assess vulnerabilities. The platform is available as a SaaS service and with an on-premises option.

The SaaS version runs from a data centre in Sweden operated by Cleura. According to Holm Security, asset inventories and vulnerability findings are not stored or processed outside this data centre; for on-premises customers the data stays in their own environment. The company has received the Software Hosted in Europe label from the DIGITAL SME Alliance. The sources consulted name no foreign parent company. The software is proprietary and not open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Holm Security

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

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Holm Security scores best on data residency.

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