Signaturgruppen: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Signaturgruppen, which operates as IN Groupe Signaturgruppen A/S, is a Danish provider in the national eID ecosystem. It acts as a certified MitID broker for MitID service providers and organisations. It also offers digital signatures and a local identity provider solution combined with external hosting, and the website states that this identity service is hosted in Denmark.

The company is based in Aarhus, Denmark. Its MitID business was acquired from Nets in 2024 by IN Groupe, a French firm, which makes the French group the parent company, so French jurisdiction applies at group level. The provider and its hosting remain within the EU, while ownership sits in another Member State. The website contains no GDPR statement, so organisations should ask for the data processing terms directly.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Signaturgruppen

Signaturgruppen is headquartered in DK 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 FR, also within Europe.

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

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