Zeticon: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Zeticon provides an information management and archiving platform with modules for digital asset management, an e-depot for long-term retention, digital signing and application retirement. It is aimed at organisations that need to keep, manage, search and share digital information over long periods. Zeticon NV is based in Ghent, Belgium, and supplies the platform itself.

The platform can be deployed on-premise, in a private cloud or in a shared cloud. The company states that it runs on European infrastructure and describes its digital asset management functions as GDPR-compliant. The website does not name an owner or parent company, and the software is not open source. For a European organisation this means a Belgian supplier and a choice between its own infrastructure and a service hosted in Europe. The website does not name the hosting partner or the exact hosting location, so these should be confirmed in writing.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Zeticon

Zeticon is headquartered in BE 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 Zeticon scores best on data residency.

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