Pigment: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Pigment is a cloud-based business planning platform for finance and planning teams, including FP&A, supply chain, sales operations and HR. Users build and connect planning models, run scenarios and create reports and custom interfaces on one live model. AI agents help build models from natural-language descriptions and scan metrics for anomalies. Pigment connects to ERP, CRM and HR systems, data lakes, BI tools and spreadsheets, and offers an MCP server and APIs. It is delivered as SaaS through the browser.

Pigment was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Paris, France. It runs on Google Cloud, and customers choose where their data is stored: Frankfurt, Germany, or Oregon, USA, with backups kept in the chosen geography. For organisations that need French or European sovereign hosting, Pigment is also available on S3NS, a SecNumCloud-certified cloud operated by a Thales subsidiary. The vendor reports SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications. The software is proprietary and not open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Pigment

Pigment 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.

Pigment hosts data in EU, US. 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.

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