Schuberg Philis: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Schuberg Philis is a Dutch IT services company founded in 2003. It provides managed IT services for mission-critical applications, cloud solutions and digital transformation, with expertise in cloud, data, software and security. According to press coverage, it mainly serves large Dutch organisations.

In November 2024 a fund managed by Bridgepoint took a majority stake in the company, while the founders and management kept significant minority holdings. Bridgepoint is a private equity group headquartered in the United Kingdom, so the controlling investor sits outside the Netherlands and the EU. For a European organisation the key question is where its managed cloud services are hosted. The public sources reviewed do not state this, so it should be asked before use. The transaction is described as a majority investment, and existing shareholders keep significant stakes.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Schuberg Philis

Schuberg Philis is headquartered in NL and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data. The ultimate owner is based in GB. Foreign control undermines part of the certainty a European headquarters offers.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Schuberg Philis scores best on data residency.

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