The Danish identity governance provider Omada has announced Omada Identity Sovereign, a new platform aimed at businesses and public authorities with high standards for digital sovereignty and regulatory compliance. The solution is designed to enable organisations to operate their identity and access management entirely under their own control – regardless of whether they use their own data centres or sovereign cloud infrastructures.

This move comes against a backdrop of stricter European regulations such as DORA, NIS2 and other regulatory developments in the field of cloud and AI governance. At the same time, the extraterritorial effect of the US CLOUD Act is leading many European organisations to reassess their cloud and identity strategies. According to Omada, mere data localisation is not sufficient if operations, administration or legal control are based outside Europe.

The new platform is fully containerised and, according to the manufacturer, offers the same range of functions as the existing cloud solution, including AI-powered features. Customer-managed encryption is designed to ensure that only the operating organisation retains control over its identity data. The solution was developed entirely in Europe; it is intended to help companies meet the highest standards of digital sovereignty.

With this launch, Omada is expanding its deployment model from multi-tenant SaaS solutions to fully sovereign operating environments. The market launch of Omada Identity Sovereign is scheduled for early 2027.
