Ubiqu: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Ubiqu is a Dutch technology provider operating through Ubiqu Access B.V. It supplies backend building blocks for digital identity and trust services: technology for European Digital Identity (EUDI) wallets without tying security to one device, an organisational identity wallet for access management, and components for electronic signatures, seals and timestamps. Its Remote Secure Element runs signing logic inside certified hardware security modules (HSMs), and according to the vendor, keys never leave the HSM.

The company is registered in the Netherlands, and its case studies name Dutch public and private organisations. According to the website, the platform can be delivered as a service "in any public cloud and any jurisdiction", or dedicated in the customer's own cloud. The site does not say where Ubiqu itself hosts data and mentions no EU-only option, which is the decisive question for a European organisation using a hosted deployment.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Ubiqu

Ubiqu is headquartered in NL 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 Ubiqu scores best on data residency.

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