While cloud-based solutions offer convenience, on-premise deployment remains a preferred choice for enterprises and government agencies that prioritize security, compliance, and control. That's why we recently made Paradym available as an on-premise solution, with a fixed monthly license and several SLA options.
As the European Union starts the implementation and adoption of a new way to handle digital identity verification through the eIDAS 2.0 implementing acts, organizations across the EU must prepare to support the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet. With the EUDI Wallet, people are able to store, use, and re-use their identity documents in a wide array of use cases to verify their identity securely and digitally.
For EU relying parties like banks, government agencies, healthcare providers, and other enterprises, ensuring compliance with strict security and regulatory requirements is not just a nice to have, but an important legal requirement. In this case deploying an on-premise solution to handle alignment with eIDAS 2.0 and the EUDI Wallet provides several advantages:
Full Data Control & Compliance
With on-premise deployment, sensitive identity data remains within the organization’s controlled infrastructure. This is crucial for GDPR compliance, reducing exposure to third-party data processing risks, national security regulations, which may restrict storing identity data outside the EU, and industry-specific compliance, such as financial or healthcare regulations that require strict data governance. By choosing an on-premise solution, an institution can keep control over the elements that they have established expertise on, while still making use of external expertise on the topic of eIDAS 2.0 identity verification.
Enhanced Security & IAM Integration
Organizations can integrate on-premise EUDI solutions seamlessly into their existing Identity and Access Management (IAM) infrastructure like their Active Directory (AD) & LDAP, ensuring identity verification aligns with internal policies. Also elements like Single Sign-On (SSO) for secure authentication across enterprise applications, and custom security policies, including zero-trust architectures and multi-factor authentication (MFA) can be easily combined when deploying EUDI services through an on-prem solution.
Reliability & Performance
Cloud-based services are dependent on external providers, which can introduce latency issues or downtime risks. Using an on-premise solution ensures a guaranteed uptime, unaffected by external network failures, faster authentication processing, especially for high-volume transactions, and reduced vendor dependency, providing long-term flexibility.
