PharmaData: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

PharmaData is a web-based CRM system for pharmaceutical and healthcare companies. Its modules cover customer data management, visit documentation and planning, sample and batch management under German pharmaceutical law (AMG), travel expense claims, order capture on site, analysis, event handling and marketing, plus a vCall module for virtual customer visits. It is aimed at field and office staff and can be adapted to a company's own processes. The vendor also offers cloud service, support and consulting.

PharmaData is provided by PASSUS GmbH in Berlin, Germany. Since June 2026 the company has been part of the ysura group, whose operating company is based in Munich, Germany, so no foreign parent is involved. For the vCall module the vendor states that the Passus servers are in Germany and that it is GDPR-compliant. Check with the vendor that this applies to every module you use. For a European organisation this means German operation and German and EU law.

Why digital sovereignty matters with PharmaData

PharmaData 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 PharmaData scores best on data residency.

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