Why this matters for digital sovereignty
Testing tools often gain access to source code and sometimes copies of production data, meaning personal data can unintentionally end up with a third party under GDPR. Check whether test data stays within the EU, whether self-hosting is possible, and how strictly access to source code is limited.
