Wemap: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Wemap is a French platform for building interactive two- and three-dimensional maps of buildings, sites and outdoor areas. Its products include indoor and outdoor wayfinding, augmented reality navigation and a back-office editor for managing map content. Retailers and rail networks use the maps through SDKs for JavaScript, iOS, Android and Flutter, or through REST APIs. Wemap offers hosting in the EU cloud, a private cloud or an on-premise installation.

The company, WEMAP SAS, is registered in France and based in Montpellier, with an office in Paris. The company page names no parent company or majority shareholder. The vendor refers to sovereign infrastructure within the EU. A GDPR data processing agreement is not described on the vendor's website and should be requested directly. For European organisations, the French and EU legal seat and the on-premise option are the main points to consider.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Wemap

Wemap 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.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Wemap scores best on data residency.

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