Autogram: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Autogram is a free application for signing documents electronically with a qualified electronic signature, for example using an eID card or another qualified signing device. It is available as a desktop application for Windows, macOS and Linux, as a mobile app for iOS and Android, and as a browser extension for some Slovak government sites. It supports the European formats XAdES, CAdES, ASiC-E and PAdES, can sign several documents in one go, checks signatures and timestamps, and offers a REST API for integration with other software.

Autogram is maintained by Služby Slovensko.Digital s.r.o. in Bratislava, Slovakia, a company wholly owned by the civic association Slovensko.Digital. The source code is open source under the EUPL-1.2, and development was co-funded through NLnet's NGI0 Commons Fund with support from the European Commission. According to its makers, data is processed locally on the user's computer. You install the software yourself, so documents and keys stay under your own control.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Autogram

Autogram is headquartered in SK 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 Autogram scores best on data residency.

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