KOBIL Trusted Identity: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

KOBIL Trusted Identity is an identity and authentication platform from KOBIL GmbH for banks and other regulated organisations. It combines secure sign-in, risk-adaptive multi-factor authentication, central identity and access management, device binding and eIDAS-compliant electronic signatures. An SDK for iOS, Android and Huawei lets organisations build their own apps with mobile hardening and runtime protection. The platform is multi-tenant and offered as a cloud service or on premises, the latter as a containerised architecture that you run in an environment of your choice.

KOBIL was founded in Germany in 1986, and KOBIL GmbH in Worms is named as its European headquarters. It has subsidiaries in the United States and Turkey, and the pages reviewed name no parent company. The hosting region of the cloud variant is not stated, so ask the vendor. With an on-premises deployment you decide where identity data is kept, which limits exposure to non-European jurisdictions. No open-source code is mentioned.
