Fiken: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Fiken is a Norwegian accounting program for small businesses. It is aimed at sole proprietorships, limited companies, holding companies, clubs and associations, and at accountants who work with clients on the platform. It covers bookkeeping, invoicing with the customer's own logo, tax return and annual accounts filed directly from the program, bank and business account connections, payroll and pensions, receipt capture by photo, and integrations with other systems. Fiken offers a free 30-day trial without an automatic subscription afterwards.

Fiken AS is a Norwegian company, so it falls under EEA rather than EU membership. Its privacy policy states the aim that all processing of personal data takes place within the EEA, while acknowledging that suppliers outside the EEA may be used, with transfers relying on an adequacy decision or the safeguards of GDPR Chapter V. The policy does not name a hosting provider or server location, and it points to a published list of sub-processors. The software is proprietary and no self-hosted edition is described.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Fiken

Fiken is headquartered in NO, which falls under the GDPR through the European Economic Area. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Fiken scores best on data residency.

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