OpenRPA: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

OpenRPA is open-source software for robotic process automation, used to automate administrative tasks. It is published under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and maintained by OpenIAP ApS. The companion platform, OpenCore, adds low-code automation with OpenRPA and Node-RED, work-item queues, observability and deployment in cloud, edge and on-premise environments. OpenRPA itself runs on the user's own infrastructure.

OpenIAP ApS is a Danish private limited company (ApS) located in Denmark, so the maintainer is established within the EU. The source code is public, so an organisation can review the software and run it on its own servers. The OpenIAP website also offers a hosted login for OpenCore; the hosting location is not stated and should be checked separately. The Mozilla Public License 2.0 is an OSI-approved open-source licence.

Why digital sovereignty matters with OpenRPA

OpenRPA is headquartered in DK 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 OpenRPA scores best on data residency.

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