KY2Help: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

KY2Help is a web-based IT and enterprise service management (ITSM/ESM) application from KYBERNA. The vendor presents it as an all-in-one solution for IT and non-IT service processes. It provides ITIL-based processes such as incident, service request, problem, change, release, knowledge, service level and configuration management. Processes are designed by drag and drop based on BPMN 2.0, modules can be shown or hidden, and standard interfaces and REST APIs are available. AI features suggest solutions, generate knowledge articles and offer chatbots. Customers can run KY2Help as SaaS or on-premises and switch between the two.

According to the vendor, SaaS is offered from data centres in Switzerland or Germany, chosen by the customer, including as a dedicated instance. KY2Help is commercial software and not open source. For a European organisation, the choice between Swiss and German hosting and the on-premises option make it possible to keep data in Europe. The exact data location and any sub-processors should still be set out in the contract.

Why digital sovereignty matters with KY2Help

KY2Help is headquartered in LI, which falls under the GDPR through the European Economic Area. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

KY2Help hosts data in the EU and in Switzerland. Switzerland is covered by a European Commission adequacy decision, so personal data can go there without extra safeguards. If you require strictly EU hosting, check the data processing agreement for which data is stored in Switzerland.

KY2Help 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 KY2Help together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
