Skebby: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Skebby is an Italian SMS service for businesses. It supports sending and receiving SMS, advertising SMS campaigns, landing pages and WhatsApp Business messaging through a web platform. An SMS API lets organisations integrate sending and receiving into their own software, and the service is aimed at developers and software houses.

The service is operated by Commify Italia S.r.l., an Italian company. The Italian site states that this company is subject to management and coordination by Commify Limited, a company registered in Nottingham, United Kingdom, which places a non-EU parent in the ownership chain. The site publishes an information security policy and a privacy notice, but it does not state where data is hosted, although it links to an infrastructure and security page. A European organisation should check the hosting location and the contract terms of the Italian operator.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Skebby

Skebby is headquartered in IT 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 Skebby scores best on data residency.

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