MobbScan: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

MobbScan is Mobbeel's solution for digital identity verification and onboarding (KYC). It scans an identity document using OCR or NFC, checks its authenticity, compares the document photo with a selfie and runs a passive liveness check. An administration console shows the evidence, with optional review by an agent and video identification. According to the vendor, biometric data is protected with homomorphic encryption. It is aimed at banks, telecoms, insurers, public bodies and the travel sector, and is integrated through SDKs for Android, iOS, Cordova/Ionic and React Native, a web version and a REST API. Mobbeel also offers MobbID for biometric authentication and MobbSign for biometric signatures.

Mobbeel Solutions S.L. is headquartered in Cáceres, Spain, and presents itself as a company from Cáceres; no foreign parent company is named. The published pages do not state where customer data is hosted. The privacy policy does say that service providers may process personal data outside the EEA, with GDPR safeguards. The product appears in the Spanish CCN CPSTIC catalogue. When buying, ask about the hosting location and sub-processors.

Why digital sovereignty matters with MobbScan

MobbScan is headquartered in ES 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 MobbScan scores best on data residency.

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