iProtect (TKH Security): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

iProtect is an access control system from TKH Security. It combines online card readers for busy entrances with battery-powered offline locks for less-used doors, and a mobile app lets administrators manage locks and access rights without physical cards. TKH's documentation also describes threat management levels, integration with intrusion detection and video surveillance, key cabinet integration (for example Deister cabinets), interactive floorplans and multi-tenant management, where tenants handle their own visitors. The server software is installed by the customer; TKH also lists an iProtect Cloud option for mobile access.

TKH Security B.V. is a Dutch company, part of TKH Group, with its headquarters at the Dutch Tech Campus in Zoetermeer. iProtect is proprietary software and not open source. In the usual setup the customer runs the server on its own infrastructure, so access data stays in a location the organisation chooses. The pages consulted do not state where the optional cloud service is hosted, so European organisations should confirm that point with TKH if they choose it.

Why digital sovereignty matters with iProtect (TKH Security)

iProtect (TKH Security) is headquartered in NL and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

iProtect (TKH 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.

iProtect (TKH 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 iProtect (TKH Security) together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
