ChipSoft: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

ChipSoft is a Dutch healthcare software company. Its product HiX is an integrated electronic patient record and hospital information system that supports hospitals, rehabilitation centres, general practices and primary care, nursing and home care, pharmacies and mental health organisations. Functions include shared scheduling, worklists, text templates, automated billing declarations and the creation and import of letters, and ChipSoft highlights AI features integrated into HiX. HiX is offered as a cloud service, and ChipSoft also provides related services.

ChipSoft is based in Amsterdam and was founded in 1986 by Gerrit Mulder and his son Hans Mulder. A 2015 report describes it as a family business without external shareholders, so no foreign parent company has been identified. The pages consulted do not state where HiX cloud environments are hosted or by which provider. A European healthcare organisation should therefore ask which hosting provider and location apply to its contract. HiX is proprietary software and not open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with ChipSoft

ChipSoft is headquartered in NL 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 ChipSoft scores best on data residency.

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