Intesi Group: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Intesi Group is an Italian certification authority and qualified trust service provider under eIDAS. Its portfolio covers electronic signatures, including the IG SIGN approval and signing solution, the IG DESK desktop and IG SMART mobile applications and remote signing; certified email (PEC); digital identity and multifactor authentication; digital preservation; and encryption. Besides cloud services, it offers PkBox signature software that can run on premise and a Windows SDK called PkNet for integration into other applications.

Intesi Group S.p.A. is headquartered in Milan, Italy. Its public pages do not state who owns the company, and they do not name a foreign parent. They also do not say where data is hosted; the on-premise PkBox option lets an organisation run signing on its own infrastructure. The company lists ISO/IEC 27001 certification, and IG SIGN is listed at CSA STAR Level 1. The software is proprietary; no open-source edition is described. For a European organisation, Intesi Group is a trust service provider supervised under Italian and European rules, with the hosting location to be confirmed with the vendor.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Intesi Group

Intesi Group 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 Intesi Group scores best on data residency.

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