Moveworks: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Moveworks is an AI assistant platform for employees, letting staff search for information and complete tasks across business applications through chat, the intranet, portals and mobile devices. Moveworks, Inc. is based in Mountain View, California. ServiceNow completed its acquisition of the company in late 2025, and the Moveworks product continues to be sold under its own name, including to ServiceNow customers.

For a European organisation, the main sovereignty issue is that the company is US-owned and subject to US law. The company's pages list GDPR among compliance standards but do not mention a data processing agreement or a hosting region. Since the acquisition, the product may fall under ServiceNow's contracts and sub-processors. Organisations should therefore confirm which contract, hosting location and sub-processors apply before deployment.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Moveworks

Moveworks is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Moveworks hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

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