Passepartout Mexal: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Passepartout is a software vendor focused on the Italian market. Its flagship product, Mexal, is an enterprise resource planning and accounting suite for small and medium-sized companies. The range includes Passcom for accounting firms and payroll, tools for retail and hospitality, and cloud products such as Welcome Smart Cloud for small hotels and Express Fattura Self for electronic invoicing. Passepartout sells its software through a network of partners that handle implementation and support.

The legal seat of Passepartout S.p.A. is in Dogana, in the Republic of San Marino. San Marino lies outside the European Union and the EEA. The company describes itself as a single-shareholder company, and the shareholder is not named on the website. Passepartout states that its cloud services run on protected and redundant infrastructure, but the website does not say where data is hosted. For a European organisation, the relevant questions are therefore the hosting location, the data processing terms and where on-premises installations are kept.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Passepartout Mexal

Passepartout Mexal is headquartered in SM, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

Passepartout Mexal hosts data outside the EU (OTHER). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

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