Open ePlatform: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Open ePlatform is a platform that lets organisations build and publish their own e-services. It works in a web browser, lets you adapt the interface to your own graphic profile and supports custom functions, usage statistics and case handling. Through a portal called 'Mina sidor' visitors follow their cases. Open APIs and integrations retrieve data from Swedish public registers. It is server software that organisations install themselves, mainly Swedish municipalities.

Open ePlatform is developed by the Open ePlatform user association, whose members are mainly Swedish municipalities and the Swedish Food Agency. The source code is on GitHub and is open source under the AGPL-3.0 and LGPL-3.0 licences. Suppliers and consultants, such as Nordic Peak and Atherfold, offer services around the platform. Because you can install the software yourself, citizen data and submitted cases stay on your own infrastructure. The association describes no hosted service of its own.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Open ePlatform

Open ePlatform 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.

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

Open ePlatform is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Open ePlatform together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
