Roadiz: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Roadiz is a headless CMS based on a node tree, built on Symfony, Doctrine ORM and API Platform. You define your own content types with the fields you need and manage content in several languages. Editors work with a Markdown editor, version history with restore, and a media library with folders, image processing and external storage such as Amazon S3. It also offers SEO tools, role and group permissions, two-factor authentication, OpenID Connect, an automatically generated REST API and optional search through Apache Solr. You install Roadiz yourself, and it can be deployed with Docker. It is maintained by the Rezo Zero team.

Roadiz is open source under the MIT licence. Rezo Zero is a French digital agency founded in 2013. The old v1 repository is no longer maintained; current development takes place in the v2 monorepo on GitHub. Because Roadiz is self-hosted, you decide where the data resides, and a European organisation can run it on EU infrastructure without depending on a cloud provider.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Roadiz

Roadiz 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.

Roadiz hosts data outside the EU (self-hosted (any)). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Roadiz is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Roadiz together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
