Vimond: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Vimond provides a cloud-native software platform that media companies and broadcasters use to manage, monetise and deliver live and on-demand video. The platform is designed for launching a branded streaming service: organising and uploading a video library, going live, and delivering the service to web, mobile and smart TV. It is offered as SaaS, so customers can launch and scale without building their own streaming technology. According to its website, the company traces its origins to the streaming division of the Norwegian broadcaster TV 2.

Vimond Media Solutions AS has its headquarters in Bergen, Norway, with subsidiaries in Australia and the United States. Its privacy policy states that Vimond is part of TV 2 Gruppen, which is owned by the Danish media group Egmont. The privacy policy includes a GDPR section for visitors from the European Economic Area, and Norway's EEA membership places the company within the European data protection framework. The website does not state where customer data is hosted, so European organisations considering the platform should set the hosting location and processing terms in the contract.

Vimond 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.
