Livestorm: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Livestorm is a browser-based platform for webinars and virtual events. Marketing, sales and HR teams use it to run live and on-demand webinars and automated sessions, with restreaming to other platforms, integrations with CRM and marketing tools, an API and a plugin SDK. Attendees join from a browser without installing software. The service is delivered as a cloud application and includes AI features.

Livestorm SAS is headquartered in Paris, France. The company's website describes the platform as designed in Europe and EU-hosted, and it states GDPR compliance and ISO 27001 certification. No non-EU majority owner is named. The vendor does not describe an open-source or self-hosted edition, so a European organisation that needs on-premises operation or a written commitment on EU-only processing should confirm both with the vendor before adoption.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Livestorm

Livestorm is headquartered in FR 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 Livestorm scores best on data residency.

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