W'IDaaS: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

W'IDaaS (Worteks IDentity as a Service) is an identity and access management platform from Worteks. User data is stored in the solution and passed to applications through standard protocols such as SAML and OpenID Connect. Features include a REST API for managing users, groups and applications, multi-factor authentication, access control per application, password policies and self-service password change and reset. Users reach their applications through a central portal in the organisation's own branding. The solution is based on the open-source project FusionIAM, to which Worteks contributes.

Worteks is a SAS based in Paris, France. No foreign parent company is named. W'IDaaS can be installed on your own servers or taken as SaaS on W'aaS, Worteks' hosting service, with data centres in three locations in France. An identity platform holds the accounts of your staff, so the choice between SaaS and self-installation determines who has access to them. No GDPR statement is published on the pages reviewed, so ask the vendor.

Why digital sovereignty matters with W'IDaaS

W'IDaaS 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.

W'IDaaS runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

W'IDaaS is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs W'IDaaS together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
