Siemens Healthineers: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Siemens Healthineers is a medical technology company with a broad portfolio: medical imaging, laboratory diagnostics, point-of-care testing, AI and digital solutions, healthcare IT, services and consulting. Hospitals and laboratories use its MRI and CT systems, but the company also provides digital services, including the teamplay platform for health data and applications. According to Siemens Healthineers, the platform is offered in a cloud model and an edge model, in which the software runs on premises but is operated from the cloud.

Siemens Healthineers AG is headquartered in Erlangen, Germany, and is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. It describes itself as a publicly listed independent company of the Siemens group. Many products are equipment installed on site; where cloud or edge services are used, the company's website does not name hosting locations. Organisations that adopt teamplay or other cloud services should have the places of processing and the subprocessors involved confirmed contractually. The software is not open source. The company cites ISO/IEC 27001 and 27701 certifications for its cybersecurity management.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Siemens Healthineers

Siemens Healthineers 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 Siemens Healthineers scores best on data residency.

Siemens Healthineers 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.
