Securosys: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Securosys SA is a Swiss company based in Zurich that develops hardware security modules (HSMs) and key management products. Its Primus HSM range, including the CyberVault models, provides dedicated hardware for storing cryptographic keys and performing signing operations. It is complemented by a key management system, bring-your-own-key options and a fully managed CloudHSM service. CloudHSM is available through regional clusters in Switzerland, Germany, Singapore and the United States, or globally, and the company states that it has no access to customer data.

The company's headquarters are in Switzerland, and its website names no parent company or majority shareholder. The website makes no explicit commitment to Swiss data residency or Swiss governing law for hosted keys, so customers choosing CloudHSM should select the cluster and check the contract terms. The hardware HSMs can run inside the customer's own infrastructure, which places key material under the organisation's direct control. The website does not mention a GDPR data processing agreement. For a European organisation, the Swiss seat and the on-premises option are the main considerations.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Securosys

Securosys 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.

Securosys 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.

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