Hrvatski Telekom: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Hrvatski Telekom d.d. is a Croatian telecommunications operator headquartered in Zagreb. The company offers fixed and mobile telephony, internet, television services and data connectivity, and has a business segment for corporate users and small and medium-sized enterprises. Its business offer includes leased lines and Ethernet-based data services. The services are delivered as network connectivity and telecom contracts rather than as software that the customer runs.

The company is listed on the Zagreb Stock Exchange and its majority shareholder is Deutsche Telekom, which holds about 53.5 per cent according to public sources. The ultimate parent, Deutsche Telekom AG, is based in Germany, which means the ownership is within the EU and does not raise a non-EU control question. The public sources do not state where customer data is hosted, so a European organisation should confirm hosting locations and data-processing terms with the provider before contracting.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Hrvatski Telekom

Hrvatski Telekom is headquartered in HR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data. The ultimate owner is based in DE, also within Europe.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Hrvatski Telekom scores best on data residency.

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