audatis MANAGER: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

audatis MANAGER is a web-based platform for compliance and security. It supports data protection management with a record of processing activities, data protection impact assessments, processor agreements, technical and organisational measures, incidents and a deletion concept. It also includes a whistleblower channel, e-learning with attendance documentation and an add-on for information security management (ISMS). The platform targets mid-sized and large organisations, public bodies, church institutions and internal or external data protection and information security officers. It is responsive and delivered as a service through the browser.

The provider, audatis Services GmbH, is based in Herford, Germany; the website names no foreign parent company. According to the pricing page, environments run in a data centre in Germany, and for some plans on a dedicated server of the customer. For a European organisation this means sensitive compliance data stays within the EU under German and European law. Ask the vendor for details on sub-processors and on the own-server option.
