Simply (MDP Data Protection): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Simply is MDP Data Protection's SaaS platform for continuous compliance with GDPR, NIS2, DORA and the AI Act. It follows the vendor's own CCOS model (Continuous Compliance Operating System): you start from the actual line of business, track compliance continuously and can demonstrate it on request. According to the vendor, specialised AI agents analyse documents, flag gaps and structure action plans. The platform includes a document base per entity with versioning, preloaded templates, automatic alerts to staff and a training module. A separate version is aimed at external data protection officers.

MDP Data Protection is a French company with offices in Labège; no foreign owner is mentioned. According to the vendor, the platform runs on Scaleway (Iliad group) in France, no data is transferred outside the European Union, and the AI uses open-source models. Customer data is not reused to train AI models. For European organisations this means compliance records stay under European jurisdiction; no self-hosted option is mentioned.
