Compliance evidence
The links below point to the vendor's own public documents. We only record what we found: a missing link means "not found publicly", not "not compliant".
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.

Sovereignty profile of BlueCat Integrity
How this vendor scores on the five dimensions of the Digital Sovereignty Heatmap: 0 is sovereign, 100 is high exposure. These are the same scores the assessment uses.
| Jurisdictional exposure (JES) | Headquartered outside the EU (CA) | 50 |
|---|---|---|
| Data residency (DRS) | EU-only hosting | 0 |
| Cryptographic key sovereignty (CKS) | Closed source, but self-hostable: encryption keys and runtime under your own control | 20 |
| Platform lock-in (PLS) | Closed source: switching requires data migration | 60 |
| Source & runtime sovereignty (SRS) | Closed source, but self-hostable on your own infrastructure | 45 |
| Average | 35 |
Why digital sovereignty matters with BlueCat Integrity
BlueCat Integrity is headquartered in CA, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.
BlueCat Integrity runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.
BlueCat Integrity is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.
What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs BlueCat Integrity together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
