Alinto: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Alinto is a French provider of email and collaboration services. The company offers business email through SOGo, a groupware suite for calendars, contacts and webmail, which is available in the cloud or on-premises. Serenamail is an SMTP gateway for transactional email at high volumes, and Cleanmail is a secure mail relay. The website also refers to a sovereign email server offering for corporate customers.

Alinto SA is a public limited company with its registered office in Lyon. Its legal notice names no parent company, and Alinto itself maintains SOGo. SOGo is published as open source under the GPL-2.0 and LGPL-2.1 licences, so an organisation can run the groupware on its own infrastructure. The website does not state where customer data is stored, so European buyers should ask Alinto directly for data-centre locations and processing terms.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Alinto

Alinto 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 Alinto scores best on data residency.

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