Sourcemap: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Sourcemap is software for supply chain traceability and due diligence. The platform includes a Supplier Data Hub for collecting supplier data, automated workflows integrated with ERP systems, supplier engagement services and an API with a real-time data pipeline. Organisations use it for multi-tier supplier mapping, forced labour due diligence and compliance with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), with integrations to customs portals such as EU TRACES. The service is delivered as SaaS.

Sourcemap, Inc. is based in New York. Its privacy policy states that its headquarters are in the United States and that it stores information there. The company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and says it executes a data processing agreement with standard contractual clauses with its clients, available on request. For European organisations this means US jurisdiction and storage outside the EU; no EU-based storage option is mentioned.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Sourcemap

Sourcemap is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Sourcemap hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

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