Directo: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Directo is a cloud-based ERP and business management system from the Estonian company Directo OÜ in Tallinn. It covers accounting, payroll and HR, sales, warehouse and logistics, project management, production and work management, and includes the MyDirecto self-service portal and Ask Directo. The website describes the software as web-based, and a customer testimonial on the site says that this made a company-owned server unnecessary.

Directo OÜ has been registered in Tallinn since 2000. Its shareholders are Estonian companies and individuals. The homepage does not state where data is hosted, but it links to a personal data processing agreement and data protection terms, and it states that the company holds an ISO/IEC 27001 certificate. For a European organisation this means an EU-based vendor with a contractual data processing framework; the hosting location and sub-processors still need to be confirmed before a contract is signed.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Directo

Directo is headquartered in EE 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 Directo scores best on data residency.

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