UK Government Urged to Review Palantir Contracts After Swiss Security Report

UK MPs are urging tougher scrutiny of Palantir’s government contracts after a Swiss investigation reported multiple rejections of the company over data access, sovereignty, operational dependency, and reputational risks; while Switzerland declined offers to military and health agencies, the UK Ministry of Defence awarded substantial contracts, prompting questions about due diligence. Palantir denies that U.S. authorities could access client data and maintains customers retain control, as European officials, including Germany’s domestic intelligence head, advise caution with U.S. software.
