Findentity: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Findentity is a modular office management system from Thax Software GmbH in Berlin. It combines document management, customer management (CRM), dictation with speech recognition, task and workflow management, and the tracking of files and objects using barcode or RFID. The software is aimed at professional users such as law firms, medical practices, planning offices and public bodies. According to the vendor, it can be adapted to your own working methods and offers interfaces to third-party software, including the beA mailbox for lawyers.

Findentity is Windows software that you install yourself, for example on your own Windows server. According to the vendor, documents can also be stored on a web server supplied by Thax or in the cloud, for instance via Microsoft SharePoint. Thax Software is a family-run company headquartered in Berlin, and no foreign parent company is stated. Where your data resides is largely your own decision. The vendor describes the product as GDPR-compliant. If you choose a third-party cloud, check the location and the data processing agreement first.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Findentity

Findentity is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Findentity runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

Findentity is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

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