Cedrus: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Cedrus is a platform for decarbonising property portfolios, developed by Cedrus Solutions. It builds an inventory of a building stock without site visits, models decarbonisation scenarios with costs, profitability and impact, and tracks the energy and carbon trajectory against the owner's targets. The vendor uses AI models for this and shows a dashboard in which a portfolio is managed at building and portfolio level. The product is aimed at owners and managers of large property portfolios.

Cedrus Solutions is a French SAS in Paris. Its website lists several shareholders, including investors and a startup studio, but no majority owner. According to the privacy policy, the backend and data storage run on Amazon Web Services, with AWS Cognito, PostHog and Cloudflare for authentication, analytics and PDF generation; no regions are named. These providers are US-owned, so the CLOUD Act can apply to data they hold, wherever it is stored. The policy mentions no data processing agreement. Ask the vendor in which region your portfolio data is stored.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Cedrus

Cedrus is headquartered in France 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 Cedrus scores best on data residency.

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