"Is Infomaniak safe?" — It's one of the most common questions about this Swiss host. Between marketing promises and technical reality, here is an objective and detailed analysis of Infomaniak's security in 2026.
Short Answer
Yes, Infomaniak is one of the most secure hosts on the European market. ISO 27001 certified, TLS 1.3 encryption, Swiss data centres outside US jurisdiction, and an impeccable privacy policy.
1. Independent Certifications and Audits
Infomaniak's security doesn't rely on marketing claims alone — it is certified by independent bodies:
| Certification | Domain | Status |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 27001 | Information security | Certified |
| ISO 14001 | Environmental management | Certified |
| ISO 50001 | Energy management | Certified |
2. Data Encryption
In Transit
- TLS 1.3 – The latest and most secure protocol version
- Mandatory HTTPS – All web communications are encrypted
- Free SSL certificates – Let's Encrypt integrated for all hosting

At Rest
- AES-256 encryption – Military-grade standard for stored data
- Encrypted backups – Backups are also encrypted

3. Swiss Data Centres — Why It Matters
The US CLOUD Act Problem
The US CLOUD Act (2018) allows American authorities to demand access to data held by US companies, even if stored in Europe. By choosing Infomaniak (a Swiss company with no US shareholders), your data is completely outside this jurisdiction.

- No data transfers to the US
- No US shareholders – 100% independent Swiss company
- Swiss law applies – Strict nLPD data protection regulations
4. Authentication and Access Control
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) – Available on all services
- Physical security keys – FIDO2/WebAuthn support
- Granular permissions – Service-level delegation
- Activity logs – Detailed logs of all connections
- Intrusion detection – Alerts on suspicious logins
5. GDPR Compliance
- Signable DPA – Data Processing Agreement available
- No behavioural advertising – Data never commercially exploited
- Right to erasure respected – Data deleted on request
- Breach notification – Within 72 hours as required by GDPR
6. Security Comparison
| Security Criteria | Infomaniak | OVH | Google Workspace | Microsoft 365 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ISO 27001 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |

Conclusion: Is Infomaniak Safe?
The answer is clearly yes. Infomaniak is one of the most secure hosting providers available for European businesses and individuals. ISO 27001 certification, Swiss hosting outside the CLOUD Act, TLS 1.3 encryption, and an exemplary privacy policy — it surpasses most competitors on these criteria, including Google and Microsoft.
For regulated professions (doctors, lawyers, accountants), businesses handling sensitive data, or anyone who refuses to have their data commercially exploited, Infomaniak is the logical choice.
