Token2: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Token2 sells hardware authentication devices for multi-factor authentication. The range includes FIDO2 and U2F security keys, programmable and classic TOTP tokens, PIV devices and NFC and smart card readers. Its FIDO2 keys work with Microsoft Entra ID, Google and other WebAuthn services, and the company also supplies devices for the AGOV authentication service of Swiss authorities. The company describes itself as a Swiss cybersecurity company and a member of the FIDO Alliance.

Token2 is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and its legal entity is TOKEN2 Sàrl. Its website does not name an owner, and it states that it uses only essential cookies and no tracking or analytics cookies. The website does not say where the devices are manufactured. Because the products are hardware, data protection questions mainly concern the software and online services the tokens connect to. For a European organisation this is a Swiss, non-EU supplier; the manufacturing location and any cloud services linked to the tokens are worth checking.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Token2

Token2 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.

Token2 hosts data in Switzerland only. Switzerland is not part of the EU or the EEA, so the GDPR does not apply there directly; the European Commission does recognise Swiss data protection as adequate, so personal data can go there without extra safeguards. Our model therefore scores it between EU hosting and hosting outside Europe. If you require strictly EU hosting, take this into account.

Token2 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 Token2 together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
