Recast Software (Right Click Tools): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Recast Software makes Right Click Tools, a set of administration tools that extend Microsoft Configuration Manager and Intune with patching, device insights and privileged-access management, among other functions. The Recast Agent is a Windows service on endpoints that lets actions run without local administrator rights, including on devices in workgroups or untrusted domains. A Recast Management Server coordinates the agents, which must be approved before they can act.

Recast Software Inc. is based in Minneapolis in the United States and has an affiliate, Liquit Software B.V., in Utrecht. Where its cloud services run is not stated unambiguously: the privacy policy mentions processing in the US, the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, and for some products a European region can be chosen. The management server itself is installed in the customer's own environment, using IIS and SQL Server. As a US vendor, Recast falls under US jurisdiction, so it is worth asking in advance which components run in the cloud and where that data is stored.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Recast Software (Right Click Tools)

Recast Software (Right Click Tools) is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Recast Software (Right Click Tools) runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

Recast Software (Right Click Tools) is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Recast Software (Right Click Tools) together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
