Neurotechnology: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Neurotechnology is a biometric software company founded in Vilnius, Lithuania, in 1990. It develops software development kits (SDKs) that let other organisations build fingerprint, face, iris and voice recognition into their own systems, including MegaMatcher for large-scale identification and VeriFinger for fingerprints. MegaMatcher ABIS is also available as a turnkey system for installation on site, for example for national projects. The company additionally offers cloud-based speech-to-text and text-to-speech services.

The company is headquartered in Lithuania, an EU member state. With SDKs and on-site systems, the customer decides where biometric data is stored. The website does not state where cloud data is kept; the privacy policy refers to the GDPR and EU law. Neurotechnology has a US subsidiary and an office in India. The software is not open source. Organisations processing biometric data should check the data-processing agreement and the hosting location of any cloud service they use.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Neurotechnology

Neurotechnology is headquartered in LT and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Neurotechnology 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.

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