Pointsharp Access Management: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Pointsharp Access Management is a set of identity and access tools for on-premises and hybrid environments. It provides single sign-on across cloud, on-premises and legacy applications, multi-factor authentication, passwordless login and passkeys, certificate-based authentication, and zero-trust remote access without a VPN through a ZTNA gateway. Organisations can run their own identity provider and an app portal with self-service. According to the vendor, it can be deployed on-premises, in the customer's own cloud or as a service through a partner; Pointsharp also offers a Secure Cloud with PKI as a service.

Pointsharp AB is a Swedish company founded in Stockholm. The Dutch software investor Main Capital Partners has been its majority investor since November 2020, so the ultimate parent sits in the Netherlands, within the EU. The vendor states that its solutions are developed, maintained and supported within Europe and that its Secure Cloud runs in two data centres in Sweden. The on-premises and own-cloud options let a European organisation keep identity data in its own environment.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Pointsharp Access Management

Pointsharp Access Management is headquartered in SE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data. The ultimate owner is based in NL, also within Europe.

Pointsharp Access Management 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.

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