Procivis: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Procivis is a Swiss technology company that builds digital identity and credential infrastructure. Its platform, Procivis One, covers issuing, managing, verifying and holding digital credentials, including electronic identities and mobile driving licences in wallet apps. The software is aimed at public-sector organisations, and the company offers an open-source model for the public sector and an enterprise licence for private companies.

Procivis AG is headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland, and is a subsidiary of Orell Füssli, a Swiss company, so its owner is also based in Switzerland, outside the EU. According to a published announcement, the platform is designed for compliance with eIDAS 2.0 and the Swiss e-ID law. The Procivis website reviewed does not state where customer data is hosted. Procivis One is published as open source on GitHub, but the licence terms are not stated on the pages reviewed. European organisations can review the code and host it themselves where the licence allows, but should confirm the hosting of any managed service separately.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Procivis

Procivis 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.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Procivis scores best on data residency.

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