Untis: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Untis is software for timetable planning and school communication. The range consists of Untis for building timetables, with modules such as substitution planning, break supervision and course scheduling, and WebUntis, its online extension. WebUntis gives teachers, students and parents access to individual timetables and substitutions and serves as the base for modules such as the digital class register and parent-teacher days; there is also a mobile app for iOS and Android. The intended users are schools of all types, school authorities and higher-education institutions.

Untis GmbH is based in Stockerau, Austria. According to its privacy policy, Untis acts as processor for product and timetable data on behalf of its contractual partner, typically the school or school authority, which remains the controller; a data processing agreement is concluded for this. The policy names neither a hosting location nor sub-processors. Untis is proprietary software, not open source. Schools should have the hosting location and sub-processors confirmed through the processing agreement.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Untis

Untis is headquartered in AT 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 Untis scores best on data residency.

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