Data sovereignty

Your jurisdiction. Not a vendor's promise.

European organisations are under increasing legal pressure to demonstrate that their security tooling - and the activity data it processes - stays under European jurisdiction. ALLOD runs on hardware you control. There is no vendor infrastructure in the path.

The residency gap

Hosting your data on servers located in the EU is not the same as keeping it under European legal jurisdiction - not when the vendor operating those servers is a US company.

Data residency vs. data sovereignty

Data residency means where data is stored. Data sovereignty means who has the legal authority to access it. A US-incorporated vendor with EU servers still falls under US jurisdiction for government access requests.

Contracts don't override statutes

A vendor's data processing agreement cannot make them non-compliant with a government order. When law and contract conflict, law wins - and your DPA has no standing in a US court.

The architecture fix

If no vendor infrastructure is in the path, there is no vendor to compel. ALLOD puts your own infrastructure between your users and the internet - not a shared cloud platform operated by a third party.

Regulatory landscape

Three frameworks. One architectural answer.

CLOUD Act, NIS2 and Schrems II all point in the same direction: the only way to satisfy them structurally is to stop routing security-relevant data through foreign-controlled infrastructure.

CLOUD Act & FISA 702

US law can compel American cloud providers to disclose data stored anywhere in the world - without notifying the data subject or their government. The CLOUD Act applies to any company incorporated in the US or listed on a US exchange, regardless of where their servers are.

Self-hosting eliminates this exposure at the architecture level. There is no vendor to issue a demand to.

Eliminated by architecture

NIS2 & DORA

Both EU directives require demonstrable control over your security tooling and ICT risk management chain. NIS2 mandates that essential entities maintain oversight of critical ICT services. DORA requires financial entities to manage third-party ICT risk, including the ability to audit and exit providers.

Running infrastructure you own satisfies these requirements without legal creativity or compensating controls.

Structural compliance

Schrems II

The Court of Justice of the EU ruled that standard contractual clauses do not protect against government access to data. SCCs rely on the vendor being able to comply with GDPR even when facing a government demand - which US law does not allow.

Self-hosted infrastructure in a jurisdiction you control eliminates the cross-border transfer risk that SCCs cannot fully address.

No transfer to justify
The ALLOD model

No vendor cloud in the path. No vendor to compel.

Digital sovereignty is not a feature you configure - it is a property of the architecture. ALLOD is built so that Allod Solutions has no access to your traffic, your event log, or your policy. This is not a promise; it is the consequence of how the system is designed.

Every component runs on hardware you control, in a data centre you choose. Your users' traffic is inspected locally - it never transits Allod infrastructure. There is no shared cloud to breach, no third-party processor to subpoena.

Deploy in any EU jurisdiction

Run on your own hardware in Stockholm, Frankfurt, Amsterdam or any data centre in a jurisdiction you choose. The inspection stays where you put it.

No US-incorporated intermediary

Allod Solutions AB is a Swedish company. There is no US parent, no US listing, and no US infrastructure in the data path - which means no CLOUD Act exposure through the vendor relationship.

Verifiable supply chain

Every release ships with a CycloneDX SBOM. You can inspect the full dependency tree before deploying - no black-box binary from a vendor you have to trust.

Built on this foundation

Sovereignty covers both your traffic and your vendor chain.

Two products, two threat surfaces - the same architectural principle.

ALLOD | SWG

Inline firewall, DLP, CASB and ZTNA running in your own infrastructure. Your users' traffic is inspected locally - no round-trip to a vendor cloud, no shared inspection platform, no foreign processor in the path.

ALLOD | DAM

Vendor risk and shadow IT governance. GLEIF ownership monitoring detects when an acquisition moves a vendor's ultimate parent to a new jurisdiction - before your next review cycle. EU sanctions screening included.
