DataGalaxy: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

DataGalaxy is a data and AI governance platform that combines a data catalog with governance features. It offers data discovery and cataloguing, a business glossary, automated lineage, governance policies, AI-assisted data classification, data quality monitoring and data products, plus collaboration tools such as an AI copilot and a marketplace for sharing data products. Integrations cover platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, Power BI and Looker.

DataGalaxy was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in Lyon, France, with an office in Paris and a presence in the United States since 2023. Its trust centre lists Amazon Web Services and Azure as infrastructure and refers to a SOC 2 report, but it does not state which provider or region hosts customer data, so the hosting location and any EU data-residency commitment should be confirmed with the vendor. The sources consulted do not describe a self-hosted or open-source edition. For a European organisation, the choice of underlying cloud provider determines exposure to non-EU jurisdictions.

Why digital sovereignty matters with DataGalaxy

DataGalaxy 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 DataGalaxy scores best on data residency.

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