Lexxion: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH is a specialist legal publisher based in Berlin, founded in 2000. It describes itself as an independent, family-run publisher and conference organiser. Its journals cover EU law, regulation and compliance, including state aid, data protection, artificial intelligence and public procurement. The company also publishes books, organises conferences, workshops and in-house seminars across Europe and online, and offers an online shop and a journal platform.

Lexxion is headquartered in Berlin and is therefore an EU-established publisher. Its website does not state where data processed by its online shop and journal platform is hosted. Customers should ask the publisher directly about hosting locations and data-processing terms. Its products are publications and events rather than open-source software, and the online services are not described as self-hosted. For European legal departments and public bodies, the EU base is relevant, but hosting and access terms still need to be confirmed in writing.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Lexxion

Lexxion is headquartered in DE 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 Lexxion scores best on data residency.

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