Trust & Security - European Data Sovereignty & Compliance

Trust you can verify.

We sell security. That means we need to be beyond doubt about our own. Here is exactly how we handle your data - no marketing translation.

STACK SELECTION

Our principles for stack selection

Every component in Alliance42 is chosen by one filter: what is best for the customer's security, sovereignty and long-term independence.

  • Open source or from a European-headquartered company
  • Data hosted in the EU
  • No US cloud dependencies for customer data
  • The vendor must have existed long enough to prove its stability - we do not choose startups for critical components
  • No vendor kickbacks influence our choices
  • Every component is evaluated against the EU First Index sovereignty scoring

Our full subprocessor list is below · we publish it here as well as in your DPA. Where a vendor has dependencies outside the EU, we are upfront about it. We are happy to walk through the stack choices on a call.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Our infrastructure

  • All hosting infrastructure runs on data centres in Germany. The data centres are ISO 27001:2022 and BSI C5 Type 2 certified.
  • We do not use AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure or any other US-incorporated cloud provider for data processing. No American cloud services.
  • Why it matters: the US CLOUD Act gives American authorities the right to demand access to data at US-incorporated cloud providers - regardless of where the data is physically stored. By keeping our entire stack on European infrastructure, we eliminate that exposure.
  • No Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no advertising cookies. Our analytics is cookie-free, hosted in the EU, and so privacy-friendly that tracker blockers block it by default. We accept the data loss because it is the right tradeoff.

Transparency

Your Data With Us

When you use our estimator

  • Your price calculation runs on our server, not in your browser. Nobody can read our pricing model or your numbers.
  • We only store what you enter. No hidden tracking, no third-party scripts.
  • If you become a client, we transfer your information to your dedicated portal. If we do not hear from you, we automatically anonymize your personal data.
  • You can always request full deletion.

What we DON'T do

  • We do not sell your data.
  • We do not track your behavior across pages.
  • We do not share your information with third parties.
  • We do not use your data to train AI models.
  • We do not place advertising or marketing cookies.

COMPLIANCE

Where we are on the compliance journey

ISO 27001

We are actively working towards certification. Our underlying data centres are already ISO 27001:2022 and BSI C5 Type 2 certified. We apply the framework internally.

NIS2

We apply the NIS2 Article 21 framework internally with the same rigour as we help our customers implement. Documentation proportional to our size - we are not under supervision yet, but we follow the framework anyway.

GDPR

Built in from day one. All data processing in the EU. Draft DPA published - awaiting legal review before formal agreements. The full list of sub-processors is in your DPA.
