Akvorado: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Akvorado is an open-source collector, enricher and visualiser for network traffic. It receives NetFlow, IPFIX and sFlow records, adds interface names from SNMP and geographic information, stores the enriched data in ClickHouse and provides a web interface to browse it. The application runs as self-hosted software on the operator's own infrastructure.

The project is developed by Free, the French internet operator, and is published under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3. Free is a subsidiary of Iliad SA, a French telecommunications group headquartered in Paris, so no foreign parent company applies. Because the software runs on the organisation's own servers, data location is determined by the organisation. For a European organisation, the AGPL licence allows the code to be inspected and modified.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Akvorado

Akvorado is headquartered in FR 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 Akvorado scores best on data residency.

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