Why digital sovereignty matters with Infracost
Infracost is headquartered in GB, 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.
Infracost hosts data outside the EU (On-premise capable). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and drives the data residency score up.
Infracost is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.
What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Infracost together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
