Norkart: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Norkart AS is a Norwegian technology company that supplies software for municipal engineering, spatial planning and geodata. Its offering includes Komtek, a cloud solution for municipal technical administration and property fees, Gisline, a GIS solution for maps and the property register, and the e-Torg procurement marketplace. The solutions are delivered as cloud services and help municipalities keep map and register data up to date.

The head office is in Oslo, Norway. According to the company's website, it is owned by Ferd AS and its employees. Norway is a member of the European Economic Area, so the GDPR applies there through the EEA agreement. The website does not state where cloud data is hosted, so this should be fixed in the contract before use. For a European public organisation, Norkart is therefore an EEA provider with a Norwegian head office. The products are not presented as open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Norkart

Norkart is headquartered in NO, which falls under the GDPR through the European Economic Area. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

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

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