webgfc: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

webgfc is software for digitally processing mail and citizen requests in local authorities. It accepts requests in any format, such as letters, emails and phone calls, and routes them to workflows by document type and metadata. Replies are drawn up from templates and can be sent by post, email, SMS or through a citizen portal. Every processing step is logged, and statistics cover processing times and compliance with deadlines.

webgfc is published by Libriciel SCOP, a French cooperative in Castelnau-le-Lez that makes free business software for the public sector. Its employees hold more than 98% of the share capital, so there is no foreign parent company. webgfc is published under the CeCILL licence (v2), according to the Comptoir du Libre catalogue. It can be used as SaaS or installed internally; the website does not state where Libriciel's servers are located. With an internal installation, your data stays with you.

Why digital sovereignty matters with webgfc

webgfc 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.

webgfc runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

webgfc is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs webgfc together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
