Tenacy: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Tenacy is a platform for steering cybersecurity governance, risk and compliance, made by TENACY SAS in Lyon, France. It supports risk analysis from a business catalogue, aligns treatment plans with compliance requirements and consolidates action plans across entities. According to the vendor, many frameworks are mapped, including ISO 27001, DORA, NIS 2 and SOC 2, and native connectors synchronise with SIEM, ITSM and IAM tools. It targets security managers and executives of large or complex organisations and is used online through a web application, with onboarding and a customer success manager.

The company is headquartered in France and no parent company is named. The vendor states that the solution is hosted in France, without naming the hosting provider. The privacy policy on the site is dated 2020, cites French data-protection law and does not mention GDPR, so ask for a current data processing agreement and a list of sub-processors. No self-hosted edition is mentioned.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Tenacy

Tenacy is headquartered in FR 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 Tenacy scores best on data residency.

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