Orbiq: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Orbiq is a trust-centre platform for B2B teams that need to show customers, prospects, auditors and vendors how they manage security and compliance, with a focus on NIS2 and DORA. Organisations publish a branded Trust Center on their own domain with public, customer-only and NDA-gated resources, plus watermarking, download tracking and audit trails. An evidence hub synchronises documents from sources such as SharePoint, Google Drive and Confluence, and an incident and announcement workflow notifies stakeholders. Orbiq connects with Slack, Microsoft Teams and CRM tools, and drafts answers to security questionnaires from published evidence for reviewers to approve. It is delivered as SaaS.

Orbiq GmbH is based in Hamburg, Germany. The vendor states that its infrastructure runs in European data centres with a selected set of third-party providers, without naming them. It says it is in the process of obtaining ISO 27001 certification. The software is proprietary and no self-hosted edition is described. For a European organisation, Orbiq is an EU-based vendor with European hosting.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Orbiq

Orbiq is headquartered in DE 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 Orbiq scores best on data residency.

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