Omada Launches Identity Sovereign for Enhanced Digital Sovereignty in Europe
Omada's Groundbreaking Identity Sovereign Solution
In an era where data control and sovereignty are becoming increasingly essential for businesses, Omada, a leading name in Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) in Europe, has announced an innovative solution called Omada Identity Sovereign. This new offering is designed specifically for regulated organizations, allowing them to manage identity governance in a manner that aligns with stringent digital sovereignty requirements.
The Need for Digital Sovereignty
With the rapid evolution of regulations across Europe, including the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the NIS2 Directive, digital sovereignty has transformed from a preference into a critical procurement priority. Organizations are now mandated to have jurisdictional control over their data and operations, ensuring compliance in an increasingly regulated environment. The urgency to maintain control is magnified by the implications of the U.S. CLOUD Act, which allows American authorities to access data held by U.S. companies, often leaving European firms vulnerable.
Addressing Regulatory Compliance
Omada Identity Sovereign offers a solution to this structural problem by addressing the limitations of traditional cloud services, especially those offered by non-European providers. By utilizing Omada’s identity governance solution, organizations can ensure that all entities involved in the legal, operational, and infrastructural chain remain under European control.
Key Features of Omada Identity Sovereign
The newly launched Omada Identity Sovereign provides European organizations with unparalleled capabilities:
1. Choice of Infrastructure: Organizations can deploy and operate identity governance solutions on infrastructure of their choice, such as their own data centers or partner-hosted environments, free from dependency on specific cloud vendors.
2. Advanced Functionality: Users will receive comprehensive feature parity with the existing Omada Identity Cloud, including powerful AI-driven capabilities, regardless of the deployment model chosen.
3. Enhanced Data Control: Organizations maintain full control over their data with customer-controlled encryption, allowing them to regulate who can access their information.
4. EU-Based Development: The entire development and support process are rooted within the European Union, ensuring a full commitment to local needs and compliance.
Together, these features contribute to helping organizations reach SEAL-3 compliance, the highest level of digital sovereignty for their identity governance roles.
Future of Identity Governance
This launch is part of a broader strategy by Omada to expand its portfolio and meet the diverse needs of organizations managing sensitive data. As businesses reassess their digital strategies to comply with new regulations, the importance of a reliable and compliant identity governance framework becomes evident.
Jakob H. Kraglund, CEO of Omada, emphasized the necessity for organizations to not only know where their data resides but also who has access to it. He stated, "Organizations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate control over their most sensitive systems. Omada Identity Sovereign directly addresses this need by allowing customers to choose the infrastructure while ensuring compliance and functionality."
Conclusion
As Omada Identity Sovereign is set to be available in early 2027, organizations looking to navigate the complexities of regulated identity governance have a proven partner in Omada. The ability to deploy on their terms while ensuring compliance, security, and operational efficiency makes it a game-changer in the realm of identity governance.
