Tape: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Tape is a no-code and low-code platform for building customised business workspaces. Teams define their own apps and records with a range of field types, and add dashboards that update as the source data changes, together with forms, rules and automations for end-to-end workflows. A template library, integrations and an API connect it to other systems. According to the vendor it is meant to replace spreadsheets and overly rigid standard tools.

Tape is developed by Tape Technologies GmbH in Munich, Germany, and is delivered as a multi-tenant cloud service. According to the vendor, the services run on Amazon Web Services facilities in the eu-central-1 region in Germany, and all customer data is stored on servers within the European Union, encrypted at rest and in transit. The infrastructure provider is a US company, which you may want to weigh in your own jurisdiction assessment. The vendor describes full-domain exports through its API, which helps if you later want to move your data elsewhere. The website names no parent company outside the EU.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Tape

Tape is headquartered in DE 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 Tape scores best on data residency.

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