Matproof: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Matproof is a compliance software platform for security and compliance teams in startups, mid-sized companies and enterprises, with a focus on EU regulation. It maps one set of controls across DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and the EU AI Act so that evidence can be reused. It collects evidence automatically, runs control tests, offers penetration testing and continuous cloud configuration checks across AWS, Azure and GCP, and helps register and classify AI systems. It provides a REST API and a hosted MCP server. Matproof is software only; an accredited body performs any audit. It is delivered as a hosted platform.

Matproof is a German company. The vendor states that it is built and hosted in Europe, and that persistent customer data is stored in the EU on infrastructure in Germany, with AI processing optionally kept in the EU. Transfers outside the EU are said to run under Standard Contractual Clauses. The software is proprietary and no self-hosted edition is described. For a European organisation, Matproof is an EU-based vendor with EU data storage.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Matproof

Matproof 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 Matproof scores best on data residency.

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