KROS: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

KROS is a Slovak software company in Žilina that develops accounting, payroll and business management programs for small businesses, accounting firms, companies and the construction sector. Its range includes desktop programs such as ALFA plus, OLYMP, OMEGA and ONIX, online versions, construction estimating tools such as CENKROS, and an electronic invoicing program. A cloud option gives access to the program from any location.

KROS a. s. has its head office in Žilina, Slovakia, and traces its software development back to 1995. The desktop programs run on the customer's own computers, while KROS provides the online and cloud products itself. KROS does not state where those services are hosted. It publishes client information on personal data processing that refers to Regulation (EU) 2016/679. For a European organisation, a Slovak supplier with local installations offers an EU legal basis; for the cloud versions, the hosting location should be confirmed before adoption.

Why digital sovereignty matters with KROS

KROS is headquartered in SK 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 KROS scores best on data residency.

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