Werlabs: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Werlabs is a Swedish provider of digital health checks. You order a check, activate it and have blood drawn at one of more than two hundred sampling sites in Sweden. A Werlabs doctor reviews and comments on the results, which are then stored in an online journal. Werlabs also offers smaller blood tests and examinations using MR and DEXA scans. Samples are analysed by accredited laboratories, namely Synlab, Unilabs and Karolinska Universitetslaboratoriet. Werlabs is registered as a healthcare provider with the Swedish authority IVO.

Werlabs AB is based in Stockholm, Sweden, and is therefore subject to Swedish and EU law. Its privacy policy names no foreign parent company. According to the policy, no health data is moved outside the EU/EEA by Werlabs or its suppliers. The service is not open source. A European organisation considering health checks for employees can rely on that statement; Werlabs does not name its hosting provider.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Werlabs

Werlabs is headquartered in SE 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 Werlabs scores best on data residency.

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