Heroma: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Heroma is an HR, time and payroll system for the Swedish public sector. It covers recruitment, employment records, competence mapping and learning, salary administration with self-service, and time registration and shift scheduling. CGI describes it as built for Swedish laws and collective agreements. It can be used as software as a service, installed on premises, or provided as an outsourced HR and payroll service.

Heroma is offered by CGI Sverige AB, a company based in Stockholm that belongs to the international IT services group CGI. A public tender from 2022 names CGI Sverige AB as the contractor responsible for operating and supporting the system. The sources do not state where the data is hosted, and the product page does not mention the GDPR by name. For a European organisation, the Swedish legal framework and the ownership structure above the Swedish subsidiary are relevant; that ownership has not been verified. The hosting location and contract terms should be confirmed before purchase.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Heroma

Heroma is headquartered in SE 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 Heroma scores best on data residency.

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