The headquarters we record is the group's statutory seat. For Amdocs that is Guernsey; day-to-day management is in the US. The three Amdocs products in the catalogue have been updated accordingly.
We went through the names visitors typed in the assessment that were not yet recognised. Six services were added and ten common spellings are now linked to the right vendor.
To replace something you first need to be able to enter it. This round adds 187 widely used services from outside Europe, mostly from the US, from cloud and security products to HR, marketing and streaming services. The catalogue now lists 8,028 vendors.
After an extra check of 30 records, 12 records were updated, mostly their headquarters, ultimate owner or licence. A foreign owner shows in the label on the vendor page and in the order of alternatives, because it can fall under other laws; the score itself looks at the headquarters.
In the previous large expansion we held back a number of records because their provenance, scope or continued existence was not yet settled. After an extra check against the vendors' own websites, registers and release history, 36 of them are added. The catalogue now lists 7,841 vendors.
CapaOne from Danish CapaSystems handles patching, operating-system deployment, administrator rights and mobile management for iOS and Android, with or without Microsoft Intune. According to the vendor, the platform is hosted entirely in the EU.
The catalogue grows to 7,804 vendors. This round mainly adds European alternatives and open-source projects, from accounting and payments to cybersecurity, IoT, CAD and streaming. Every record was checked against the vendor's own website and has an introduction in four languages.
Kontevia reads receipts and invoices sent via WhatsApp or email and passes them to the tax adviser through DATEV. The receipt archive is in the EU; database, AI recognition and hosting partly run through the UK and the US.
Nettingale offers managed WordPress hosting with an isolated environment per site, daily backups and free SSL. Site files, databases and backups are stored on servers in the EU.
Takibi Base is a shared knowledge base from which AI agents retrieve exact passages with citations. The application runs in Frankfurt; for AI judgments the service uses a US processor.
MailSenpai is an Italian platform for newsletters and automations, SMTP Senpai its SMTP relay and email API. Both run on EU servers and are now listed as European alternatives to Mailchimp, SendGrid, Mailgun and others.
Libera Suite by Paris-based Abilian is a free open-source office suite for Windows, macOS and Linux that runs locally, with no account or cloud. It is now also listed as a European alternative to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
On narrow screens the text in 'Facts and evidence' was stacked one letter per line. The check label now sits below the value, so everything reads normally.
Many organisations use US services that were not yet in the knowledge base. This round adds 600 of them across 94 categories, with their origin, hosting and European alternatives. The knowledge base now lists 6,877 vendors.
Alongside the Cyber Resilience Act, every law in the 'Why this matters now' block now has its own explainer: NIS2, DORA, the CLOUD Act and FISA 702, GDPR with the Data Act, and the AI Act. Each page gives a timeline, what the law means when you choose software and cloud services, which questions to ask a vendor, frequently asked questions and the official sources, checked on 11 October 2026. The Cyber Resilience Act page now uses the new design.
Start with NIS2Vendors with the same score are no longer listed alphabetically but in an order that changes on every visit. The order by score stays the same. This way vendors later in the alphabet also reach the top, on category, country and open-source pages. On phones and tablets the menu now sits behind a menu button. Category pages without a booked sponsor show the banner of Accans, which sponsors the site in kind with hosting, domain names and development time.
On category pages the sponsor slot now sits right under the heading instead of after the introduction; its space is reserved from the start, so the page does not jump. Under "Cite this page" on the statistics page you copy the citation in one click and can share the page straight away. The header has a Sponsorship button, and the submit page explains how sponsorship gives you 12 months of extra visibility on a category of your choice.
Statistics, vendor, category and country pages and the changelog now have share buttons for Mastodon, LinkedIn, Bluesky, X and email, plus a copy-link button. The figure on European alternatives to US services can be shared on its own. The buttons are plain links: nothing loads from another network until you click. Submitting a vendor is now a button in the header.
Share the figureThe paid banner on category pages is now called sponsorship and is labelled "Sponsored". It still never affects a score or a position. The page, the order flow, the confirmation mails and the footer use the same wording, in all four languages.
The statistics page, the trends page, this changelog and the documentation now share the layout of the rest of the site: large figures, calmer tables and more readable documents. Every changelog entry now has its own link, also when several appeared on the same day.
The licence terms, the business data licence page, the contact page and the thank-you page after a donation now share the layout of the rest of the site. The business licence shows its price and mail button in a card of their own.
After paying, the order page shows the status in a clear card with a large download button. The whitelabel report builder has larger fields, the language choice next to the preparer's name and a count of the reports used next to the button.
The statistics page now shows for how many US services with European alternatives selected by us there is an alternative with a sovereignty score above 80, with a note on how it is counted.
See the figureEach report's order page now shows a summary with price, contents and the other variants next to the order form; on a phone the summary comes first. The form has larger fields and a clearer pay button.
AI assistants that ask for Markdown now get the vendor, category, country and open-source pages as clean text with scores, facts and links, straight from the knowledge base. robots.txt now states our policy: search engines and AI assistants may use the site to answer questions, but not to train AI models.
Sharing a page such as 'About', 'Map' or 'Contact' on LinkedIn or in a chat showed the home page's title and link. Every page now has its own title, description and link in that preview.
The site moves to eusovereigntyscore.eu. Existing links and bookmarks to digitalsovereignty.accans.com keep working: they forward to the same page on the new address.
The map counted a vendor listed in several categories once (Germany: 929), while the country page counts every listing (Germany: 1,006). The map now follows the country page, so both show the same number for every country.
The open-source overview now shows every category in one list with its number of open-source vendors. Each category page lists the vendors with their sovereignty score, sortable by score, A to Z or country.
Round eight adds 23 vendors in 4 categories, 8 of them European. The knowledge base now lists 6,277 vendors.
