Telia Company: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Telia Company is a telecommunications group headquartered in Sweden, active in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Its services include mobile and fixed telephony, internet access and IT hosting. For business customers, the Swedish offer lists company subscriptions, exchanges (PBX) for small and large companies, fixed numbers and contact-centre solutions, delivered as operator services.

The group is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and Nasdaq Helsinki. The Swedish state is its largest shareholder, and the remaining shares are held by institutional and private investors. The group operates under Swedish and EU law. The business telephony pages do not state where customer data is stored, so European organisations should check the data-location and GDPR terms in their contract and compare them with other European business telephony providers.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Telia Company

Telia Company 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.

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

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