Oslandia: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Oslandia is a French company specialising in GIS architecture. It provides services around open source software that it publishes or is recognised as an expert in. In GIS, this means development and consulting for QGIS and QGIS Server, web mapping with Leaflet and OpenLayers, and business applications such as water and sanitation. In 3D, it covers handling 3D data from processing and storage to visualisation, with tools including a point cloud streaming and conversion server, an immersive 3D visualisation framework and SFCGAL. For data, it offers geospatial data processing, spatial algorithms and machine learning for spatial analysis. The company contributes actively to QGIS and PostGIS and has several QGIS core committers on its team.

Oslandia's contact address is in Paris, France, and its website also lists Lyon. It is a French company operating within the European legal framework. Because the software it works on is open source, an organisation can run QGIS, PostGIS and related components on its own infrastructure or with a provider of its choice, and engage Oslandia for consulting and development.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Oslandia

Oslandia is headquartered in FR 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 Oslandia scores best on data residency.

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