SEWOBE MANAGER: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

SEWOBE MANAGER is an online platform from SEWOBE AG for managing members, donors and customers. It comes in variants: the VereinsMANAGER for clubs, the VerbandsMANAGER for associations with complex hierarchies, the OfficeMANAGER for start-ups and service businesses and the LieferMANAGER for delivery services. The suite offers a member portal, an events module, online application forms, donation forms, surveys, newsletters, a shop module, online banking integration and optional apps. The software is delivered as a cloud platform.

SEWOBE AG is based in Augsburg, Germany; no parent company is named. Its privacy policy states that data such as newsletter data is stored in a German data centre, that nothing is transferred outside the EU or EEA, and that subcontractors are bound by data processing agreements. It is worth asking the vendor exactly where customer data inside the application is held. No self-hosted variant is mentioned. According to the vendor, data of European associations therefore stays within the EU.

Why digital sovereignty matters with SEWOBE MANAGER

SEWOBE MANAGER 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 SEWOBE MANAGER scores best on data residency.

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