PassSecurium: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

PassSecurium is a password manager for businesses and organisations, developed by ALPEIN Software SWISS AG in Stein am Rhein. Passwords are stored centrally and shared through folder structures by group or role. The service offers a web client, a mobile app and a browser extension with a password generator. Administrators can revoke access with one click, review an activity log and set security policies centrally, such as password complexity and permitted access channels. Integration with Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory and single sign-on is supported. The interface can be shown in your organisation's corporate design.

The vendor is based in Switzerland, an EFTA country outside the EU. According to the vendor, data is stored exclusively in Swiss data centres, encrypted with AES-256, and the operators of the service cannot view it. On request, the password database can run in your own IT environment as part of a hybrid cloud setup. It is not open source. The sources name no foreign parent company.

Why digital sovereignty matters with PassSecurium

PassSecurium is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

PassSecurium hosts data in Switzerland only. Switzerland is not part of the EU or the EEA, so the GDPR does not apply there directly; the European Commission does recognise Swiss data protection as adequate, so personal data can go there without extra safeguards. Our model therefore scores it between EU hosting and hosting outside Europe. If you require strictly EU hosting, take this into account.

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