Naaia: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Naaia is a French platform for AI governance and compliance. It describes itself as a European artificial intelligence management system (AIMS) based on ISO/IEC 42001. Organisations use it to manage, monitor and document AI systems in one place and to map them to regulations such as the EU AI Act. Naaia is delivered as a cloud service and is available in French and English.

Naaia is an SAS with its registered office in Louveciennes, France, registered with the Versailles trade register. No parent company outside France has been identified. The company states ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 certifications. Where customer data is hosted is not stated in its public documentation. Its privacy policy reserves the possibility of transferring data outside the EU, with appropriate safeguards. European organisations are therefore well advised to have the hosting location and the sub-processor list fixed contractually. The service is not open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Naaia

Naaia is headquartered in FR 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 Naaia scores best on data residency.

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