Mynewsdesk: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Mynewsdesk is a public relations platform for press releases, online newsrooms and media monitoring. Communications teams use it to distribute press material to journalists, publish a newsroom on their own website and track how their brand is mentioned in the media, with reporting on the results. The service is delivered as a web-based software-as-a-service product.

Mynewsdesk AB is registered in Stockholm, Sweden. The company is part of the Norwegian media group NHST, which now operates as DN Media Group AS. The parent therefore sits in Norway, outside the EU but inside the EEA. The privacy policy names no country or cloud provider for data storage and states that transfers outside the EU and EEA rely on the EU standard contractual clauses. European organisations should ask the company in writing where customer and newsroom data is stored and whether an EU-only hosting option is available.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Mynewsdesk

Mynewsdesk is headquartered in SE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data. The ultimate owner is based in NO, also within Europe.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Mynewsdesk scores best on data residency.

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