Stilo: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Stilo is software for the digital management of administrative acts (atti amministrativi) by Italian public bodies. According to the README it covers drafting, checks of accounting regularity, adoption, archiving and preparation for publication, and can record attendance and votes for collegial acts. It also offers workflows tied to a case file, ordinary and certified email (PEO and PEC), notifications, reports, digital signatures and timestamps. Stilo is installed as server software on your own infrastructure; the README lists Java SE 8, an Oracle database and JEE8.

The copyright (2023) is held by Regione Piemonte, the City of Turin and the Metropolitan City of Turin, so by Italian public authorities. The licence is AGPL-3.0-or-later with a linking exception for libraries. Because you run the software yourself, acts and case files stay within your own organisation; no hosted version from the maintainers is described. The project is listed in the Italian Developers Italia catalogue. The README also mentions CSI-Piemonte, but does not describe its exact role.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Stilo

Stilo 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.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Stilo scores best on data residency.

Stilo is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Stilo together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
