Whoz: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Whoz is a workforce-optimisation platform for professional services companies such as IT services firms, consultancies and engineering companies. Its modules cover a talent cloud that maps skills across employees, freelancers and partners, a business and staffing studio for managing teams and projects, performance analytics, and integrations with existing systems. AI-based matching proposes profiles for project opportunities, and tailored CVs can be exported. It is delivered as software as a service.

Whoz is published by BizNet.io, a French simplified joint-stock company seated in Paris. According to the vendor, the platform is hosted at OVHcloud in France; it also lists a dedicated infrastructure among its security features. As a French company with a French host, it falls under EU law, which suits organisations that want to keep staffing and skills data within the EU. The vendor's site names no parent company and does not describe a self-hosted option.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Whoz

Whoz is headquartered in France 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 Whoz scores best on data residency.

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