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.

| Jurisdictional exposure (JES) | Headquartered in the EU: European law applies | 0 |
|---|---|---|
| Data residency (DRS) | EU-only hosting | 0 |
| Cryptographic key sovereignty (CKS) | Key management with a European vendor | 40 |
| Platform lock-in (PLS) | Closed source: switching requires data migration | 60 |
| Source & runtime sovereignty (SRS) | Closed source, runtime with the vendor | 45 |
| Average | 29 |
Why digital sovereignty matters with Dise
Dise is headquartered in SE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.
Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Dise scores best on data residency.
Dise 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 Dise together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
