No public compliance evidence has been recorded for this vendor yet. Do you know its DPA or subprocessor list? Something wrong? Suggest a correction
Technical hosting signal
Independently established via a DNS/network lookup (not information from the vendor itself). This shows which network currently serves this vendor's website — often a CDN — so it does not necessarily reflect where the actual service or data is hosted.

| Cryptographic key sovereignty (CKS) | Key management with a non-European vendor | 80 |
| Platform lock-in (PLS) | Closed source: switching requires data migration | 60 |
| Source & runtime sovereignty (SRS) | Closed source, runtime with the vendor | 85 |

Why digital sovereignty matters with Blue Yonder
Blue Yonder is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model. The ultimate owner is based in JP. Foreign control undermines part of the certainty a European headquarters offers.
Blue Yonder hosts data in EU, US. 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.
Blue Yonder 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 Blue Yonder together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
