Meisterplan: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Meisterplan is project portfolio and resource management software for PMOs, resource managers and project managers. Its functions include project portfolio management, resource capacity planning, financial management, what-if scenario planning and reporting dashboards. According to the vendor, it helps coordinate projects across teams regardless of the tools or methods those teams use.

Meisterplan is published by itdesign GmbH, a German company based in Tübingen, which the vendor describes as self-financed, so the company is established in the EU. The website references ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27018:2019 certifications and a Trust Center with privacy information. The vendor's website does not state where customer data is hosted or whether a GDPR data processing agreement is offered, so European organisations should confirm hosting locations and sub-processors with the vendor before using the software for sensitive portfolio data.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Meisterplan

Meisterplan 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 Meisterplan scores best on data residency.

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