Ubble: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Ubble is a French company that provides digital identity verification for online onboarding. Its service helps businesses confirm that a person is who they claim to be before opening an account or allowing a transaction. It is delivered as a cloud-based service that customers connect to their own sign-up processes. Its headquarters are in France.

Checkout.com, a payments provider headquartered in London, announced in May 2022 that it would acquire Ubble, so the immediate parent is a UK group. In 2020 Ubble moved its identity verification solution to the OUTSCALE cloud, a French provider qualified SecNumCloud by the French cybersecurity agency ANSSI. Current hosting arrangements and privacy terms should be confirmed directly with the vendor. For a European organisation, the French base and the cloud choice matter, but the UK parent is a factor to weigh as well.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Ubble

Ubble is headquartered in FR 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 GB. Foreign control undermines part of the certainty a European headquarters offers.

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

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