Spryng: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Spryng is a Dutch provider of business messaging services. Its offering covers SMS, RCS Business, WhatsApp Business, a voice API and email-to-SMS. Typical uses are authentication with one-time codes (2FA/OTP), appointment reminders, bulk messaging and marketing. You can work through a web platform or a REST API with SDKs. Spryng describes itself as an official Google partner for RCS Business and a Meta Business Solution Provider for WhatsApp Business. The service is a cloud platform and not open source; the company states that it holds ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certifications.

Spryng is part of the Commify group. Commify is headquartered in Nottingham in the United Kingdom and is owned by the UK private equity firm ECI Partners. According to Spryng, its systems run in virtual private clouds in Frankfurt and Paris, and data in the Frankfurt cloud stays within the EU. For a European organisation this means EU hosting with a supplier whose parent group is outside the EU, so UK law and the parent group can be relevant when assessing control over the data.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Spryng

Spryng is headquartered in NL 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 Spryng scores best on data residency.

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