DocSuite PA: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

DocSuite PA is software for document management, electronic registry (protocollo informatico) and administrative procedure handling in Italian public bodies. It covers registration of incoming and outgoing documents, including PEC and e-mail, case files and dossiers, workflows with digital signature, the adoption and publication of administrative acts, transparency obligations and hand-over to a digital preservation provider. It is a web-based solution, written in C# on .NET, that you install on your own infrastructure.

The rights belong to the Italian local health authority AUSL Reggio Emilia, which released the software for reuse under the EUPL-1.2 licence. Dgroove Srl of Villafranca di Verona, Italy, maintains it and sells support, maintenance and development; the source code is published on GitHub. You can run DocSuite PA yourself, so that your documents stay on your own servers. Dgroove also offers it as a cloud service on Microsoft Azure; the hosting region is not stated in the sources consulted. Microsoft is a US company, so the US CLOUD Act may be relevant for that cloud variant.

Why digital sovereignty matters with DocSuite PA

DocSuite PA is headquartered in IT 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 DocSuite PA scores best on data residency.

DocSuite PA is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs DocSuite PA together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
