Verdikt: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Verdikt is a platform for measuring and managing the environmental impact of an organisation's IT. It covers endpoints, infrastructure, cloud, applications, purchasing and AI, and addresses end customers, IT service firms, IT suppliers and sustainability consultants. According to the vendor, its method follows Bilan Carbone and the GHG Protocol, uses a library of sourced emission factors, measures social and economic dimensions as well as carbon, and improves the measurement with each cycle. It connects to existing IT data in read-only mode.

Verdikt is a French simplified joint-stock company in Châtillon; no parent company is stated. The vendor states that the platform is hosted in the EU and is GDPR-compliant by design, but does not name the host or the location. The marketing website runs at Infomaniak in Switzerland, an EFTA country with an EU adequacy decision. Verdikt is commercial software, not open source. Ask about the hosting location, subprocessors and the data processing agreement.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Verdikt

Verdikt is headquartered in France 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 Verdikt scores best on data residency.

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