WEDO: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

WEDO is a software-as-a-service platform for managing board and executive meetings from preparation to archiving. It records decisions and tasks with assigned owners and handles signatures with qualified electronic signatures. The platform runs on a cloud infrastructure. According to the vendor, it is developed entirely in Switzerland by WEDO SA, whose seat is in Fribourg.

The vendor states that WEDO complies with the GDPR and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP), and refers to a data processing agreement. According to the website, all data is hosted exclusively in Switzerland, in ISO 27001-certified data centres. Switzerland is outside the EU and has its own data protection law. For a European organisation this means hosting in a non-EU European country under its own law; the data processing agreement, sub-processors and ownership structure should be reviewed before signing.

Why digital sovereignty matters with WEDO

WEDO is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

WEDO hosts data in Switzerland only. Switzerland is not part of the EU or the EEA, so the GDPR does not apply there directly; the European Commission does recognise Swiss data protection as adequate, so personal data can go there without extra safeguards. Our model therefore scores it between EU hosting and hosting outside Europe. If you require strictly EU hosting, take this into account.

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