It also supports CSRD/ESRS reporting, using existing documents to pre-fill disclosures, and calculates Scope 1 to 3 greenhouse-gas emissions following the GHG Protocol. VSME, the EU Taxonomy and EcoVadis are also covered. The product is offered online through a web application and is not open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Coolset

Coolset 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 Coolset scores best on data residency.

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