Why digital sovereignty matters with ResourceSpace
ResourceSpace 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.
Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so ResourceSpace scores best on data residency.
ResourceSpace 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 ResourceSpace together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
