ABsmartly: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

ABsmartly is an experimentation platform for running A/B tests and product experiments, with SDKs for several programming environments. It is aimed at product and engineering teams that want to measure the effect of changes in software, and it is offered as an online platform. According to the website, its team previously worked on A/B testing at Booking.com.

ABsmartly B.V. is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The website names no parent company. Its privacy policy states that data may be stored on servers in the United States and possibly in other countries outside the European Economic Area. The policy offers no EU data-residency commitment, but it refers to safeguards for transfers, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. European organisations should therefore check transfers and the sub-processor list before using the platform with personal data.

Why digital sovereignty matters with ABsmartly

ABsmartly is headquartered in NL and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

ABsmartly hosts data outside the EU (US, OTHER). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

ABsmartly 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 ABsmartly together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
