Xeneta: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Xeneta is a Norwegian freight market intelligence platform for ocean and air freight. It publishes rate benchmarks, market trend data and service reliability information, with products for ocean and air freight analytics, ocean schedules and an expert analysis service. Logistics and procurement teams use the data to compare freight rates with the market. The service is accessed online through a platform with a login.

Xeneta AS is headquartered in Oslo, Norway, where the company was founded in 2012. Norway is part of the EEA but not the EU, so for European organisations the company is treated as an EEA provider. The website names no investors or controlling owner, and no foreign parent has been identified. The company states that its information security management system is certified to ISO 27001:2022, without specifying the scope on the page. The hosting location of customer data is not stated, so a European buyer should ask about the hosting region and processing terms.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Xeneta

Xeneta is headquartered in NO, which falls under the GDPR through the European Economic Area. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Xeneta 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.
