Why digital sovereignty matters with Hyphen-Italia

Hyphen-Italia is headquartered in IT 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 Hyphen-Italia scores best on data residency.

Hyphen-Italia 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 Hyphen-Italia together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
