Cedreo: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Cedreo is a fully online design program for homes. It draws floor plans, elevations, sections and roofs and produces 3D renderings. It is aimed at builders, contractors and renovation firms that want to show clients a design quickly. The package combines plan drawing, terrain modelling and a cost estimate in one environment. No local installation is needed; the program runs in the browser.

Cedreo SARL is a single-member limited liability company under French law, based in Saint-Herblain near Nantes. The owner of the company is not named. The vendor does not name a hosting location or a data processing agreement. For a European organisation, the French establishment is the starting point, but the hosting choice and data processing should be queried with the vendor.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Cedreo

Cedreo 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 Cedreo scores best on data residency.

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