EU-Sovereignty Audit: First EU-sovereignty audit tool for websites

What it does

EU-Sovereignty Audit is a scanner that checks how dependent a website is on non-EU services. It analyzes hosting location, font providers, analytics platforms, CDNs, video embeds, chat tools, social widgets, and maps. The tool produces a score indicating EU dependency and displays results on a public leaderboard unless the site owner opts out.

Who it is for

The tool targets website operators in the EU who want to reduce reliance on non-EU vendors. This includes businesses concerned about data residency, compliance teams managing regulatory risk, and organizations that view EU infrastructure as strategically important. Sites that handle sensitive user data or face strict privacy requirements are the natural audience.

Pricing

The site does not show prices.

How it stands out

EU-Sovereignty Audit addresses a specific regulatory concern: the repeated invalidation of US-EU data transfer frameworks. The tool references Safe Harbor (invalidated 2015) and Privacy Shield (invalidated 2020), positioning 100% EU-based infrastructure as future-proofing against another potential breakdown. Rather than offering general GDPR compliance scanning, it narrows focus to geographic sovereignty of service providers. The public leaderboard creates social pressure and visibility for compliant sites, functioning as both discovery mechanism and competitive signal. The free scanner model lowers entry barriers for initial assessment.
