Justinmind: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Justinmind is a tool for designing wireframes and interactive prototypes of web and mobile applications. Designers use it to draw screens, simulate interactions and test designs before developers build them. The product is offered online with an account and is also available as a download. It is developed by Justinmind S.L.

Justinmind S.L. is based in Barcelona, Spain, so the company falls under EU law. According to its website, the team works across Europe and the Americas. Its privacy policy, however, names US service providers, including Google, Amazon Web Services and Zendesk, and describes their data as held in their global infrastructure. No EU-only hosting is stated, so a European organisation should confirm where account data is processed before adopting the tool. Payments are processed by Braintree, a United States-based payment processor for digital goods.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Justinmind

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

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

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