Holistics: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Holistics is an analytics platform built around a programmable semantic layer. Data teams define metrics and datasets, and business users explore them through AI-assisted answers or point-and-click analysis that draws on the same definitions. Models, metrics and dashboards can be written as version-controlled code, and white-label dashboards can be embedded in a customer's own product. The company was founded in 2015 and has offices in Singapore and Vietnam.

Holistics is headquartered in Singapore, outside the European Union. The website lists SOC 2 and GDPR among its governance features, but does not say where customer data is hosted, whether a data processing agreement is offered, or whether the platform can be self-hosted. The product is not described as open source. European organisations that intend to process personal data should therefore request hosting locations, sub-processors and deployment options in writing before selecting it.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Holistics

Holistics is headquartered in SG, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

Holistics hosts data outside the EU (OTHER). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

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