SAVOIRR: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

SAVOIRR, formerly politik.ch, is a platform for monitoring legislation, aimed at public affairs, regulatory and compliance teams, companies, trade associations and research bodies. According to the vendor it provides filtered data from official bodies on European and Swiss legislative processes. Users document their analysis with custom fields and tags, follow the timeline of a file, and let an AI feature connect documents, people and organisations to identify stakeholders. A full and a light version exist. The service is delivered online.

SAVOIRR is a product of PolitAnalytics AG, a Swiss software company in Zurich. Switzerland is not an EU member state but an EFTA country with an EU adequacy decision. The vendor does not state where data is hosted, so this should be asked. Its privacy policy refers to Swiss data-protection law and the GDPR and notes that service providers outside the EU/EEA may be used, with appropriate safeguards for transfers. No owner or parent company is named.

Why digital sovereignty matters with SAVOIRR

SAVOIRR is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

SAVOIRR hosts data in Switzerland only. Switzerland is not part of the EU or the EEA, so the GDPR does not apply there directly; the European Commission does recognise Swiss data protection as adequate, so personal data can go there without extra safeguards. Our model therefore scores it between EU hosting and hosting outside Europe. If you require strictly EU hosting, take this into account.

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