ROE Check it: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

ROE Check it is an application from R.O.E. GmbH in Wedemark, Germany, for digitising checklists, inspection protocols and data capture. Users build checklists modularly from blocks such as photo, signature, measured value, location, choice fields and text fields, without technical knowledge. Inspections and rounds are recorded on site using a smartphone, tablet or PC, including offline. The captured data is turned automatically into a PDF protocol with embedded signatures and photos. The product is aimed at areas such as occupational safety, maintenance and facility management.

R.O.E. GmbH is headquartered in Germany, and no foreign owner is named on its website. The vendor does not state where Check it data is hosted; only for its separate e-learning module does the privacy policy name a server location in Frankfurt. Ask about the hosting location, the processors involved and the data processing agreement. The privacy policy refers to the GDPR and the German BDSG. For a European organisation this is a German supplier without an announced US parent company.

Why digital sovereignty matters with ROE Check it

ROE Check it 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 ROE Check it scores best on data residency.

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