Mhikes: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Mhikes is a mobile route-guidance solution from Easy Mountain SAS in France for tourism providers such as tour operators, tourist offices, local authorities, bike renters and holiday villages. Providers create a route by importing a GPX file, recording it in the field or placing markers on the map in the back office, then add multimedia points of interest. The app guides travellers even without a connection. Roadbook for Discovery is a second application for building a travel journal from start to finish.

Easy Mountain SAS is based in Meylan, France, and according to the site it has been a subsidiary of Decathlon since December 2020. The vendor does not state the country of that group. The website runs at OVH in the EU. Where the data of the app and back office is hosted is not stated on the site. The terms of use do refer to the GDPR and name a data protection officer. Ask for the hosting location and the processors before you have travellers' location data processed.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Mhikes

Mhikes is headquartered in France 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 Mhikes scores best on data residency.

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