Sovereignty profile of SAM Seamless Network
How this vendor scores on the five dimensions of the Digital Sovereignty Heatmap: 0 is sovereign, 100 is high exposure. These are the same scores the assessment uses.
| Jurisdictional exposure (JES) | Headquartered outside the EU (IL) | 50 |
|---|---|---|
| Data residency (DRS) | No EU hosting (IL) | 100 |
| Cryptographic key sovereignty (CKS) | Key management with a non-European vendor | 60 |
| Platform lock-in (PLS) | Closed source: switching requires data migration | 60 |
| Source & runtime sovereignty (SRS) | Closed source, runtime with the vendor | 70 |
| Average | 68 |
Why digital sovereignty matters with SAM Seamless Network
SAM Seamless Network is headquartered in IL, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor. The ultimate owner is based in US. Foreign control undermines part of the certainty a European headquarters offers.
SAM Seamless Network hosts data outside the EU (IL). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and drives the data residency score up.
SAM Seamless Network is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.
What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs SAM Seamless Network together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
