STAPP: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

STAPP is client-management software for the social domain, developed by ArgoNexus B.V. It is aimed at care providers, welfare organisations, municipal services and social work. STAPP combines four parts: flexible case management for reports, trajectories, projects and aftercare, central management of persons, configurable workflows with business rules, and business intelligence for reports and trends. According to the vendor, STAPP runs as an application rather than a browser tool, so no data remains on the device once it is closed. A role-based access model controls who sees which data.

ArgoNexus is based in Zeewolde, the Netherlands. Its website names no owner outside the Netherlands. According to the vendor, STAPP complies with the GDPR and all data is stored in Dutch data centres, so within the EU. The vendor gives no information on self-hosting or an on-premise variant. Because the data concerns sensitive client records, ask about the data processing agreement, sub-processors and export options before signing a contract.

Why digital sovereignty matters with STAPP

STAPP is headquartered in the Netherlands 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 STAPP scores best on data residency.

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