Risk Ledger: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Risk Ledger is a supply chain cyber risk platform, which the company calls Active Supply Chain Security. Organisations use it to view suppliers' security profiles without repeated questionnaires, send standard assessments to suppliers not yet on the platform, and map supply chains several tiers deep. It is delivered as a cloud service.

Risk Ledger Ltd is based in London, United Kingdom, outside the EU, so UK law and the UK GDPR apply. For transfers, the privacy policy relies on EU standard contractual clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. It names AWS among its cloud hosts without naming a region, and confirms that a limited subset of personal data is transferred outside the UK, EEA and Switzerland. Ownership and hosting region are not stated by the vendor. For a European organisation, the UK headquarters and transfers of some data outside Europe are the main points to weigh.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Risk Ledger

Risk Ledger is headquartered in GB, 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.

Risk Ledger 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.

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