CLARILAB: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

CLARILAB is the laboratory information system (LIS) from Clarisys for medical biology laboratories, public and private. It combines LIS functions with a general-purpose middleware (MCA) and supports request handling, exam catalogues, medical context, analyser connections and the biological validation of results. It works for a single site or several. Additional modules include a results server for patients and physicians, identification in the sampling room and a sample-collection manual. Clarisys also offers a specialised bacteriology middleware, BAC'EXPRESS.

Clarisys is a French SAS headquartered in Toulouse. Its website states that it belongs to the Sofnext technology and software division of Groupe Dellen; where that group is based is not stated on the pages consulted, so no parent country has been established. The site does not describe whether CLARILAB runs as a service or on the customer's own servers, nor where data is hosted. Confirm this, together with the data-processing agreement, because the data concerned is health data.

Why digital sovereignty matters with CLARILAB

CLARILAB 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 CLARILAB scores best on data residency.

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