Pexip: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Pexip is a video platform for secure video meetings. Its Pexip Connect product links participants who join from Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, and Pexip Secure Meetings serves secure environments. The service is hosted by Pexip, and its privacy notice describes it as delivered from points of presence in data centres run by facility providers.

Pexip AS is a Norwegian company headquartered in Oslo. Norway is part of the European Economic Area, and the privacy notice refers to EU data protection rules and binds processors through data processing agreements. The notice also names Pexip Inc. in Delaware, USA, and states that personal data may be stored and processed in any country where Pexip or its sub-processors have facilities, with some operations outside the EU. A European organisation with strict residency requirements should confirm the available regions and the sub-processor list before buying.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Pexip

Pexip is headquartered in NO, which falls under the GDPR through the European Economic Area. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Pexip hosts data in EU, US, OTHER. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

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