Why digital sovereignty matters with Wiz AI-SPM (Atlas)
Wiz AI-SPM (Atlas) 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.
Wiz AI-SPM (Atlas) hosts data in US, EU, GB, CA, AU, IN, AE, JP, IL. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.
Wiz AI-SPM (Atlas) 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 Wiz AI-SPM (Atlas) together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
