Free assessment

The Sovereignty Scan

Do you know which part of your martech stack falls under American jurisdiction? The Sovereignty Scan maps it out — free and without obligation. In 60 minutes you'll have a clear picture of your risks, your Sovereignty Score, and a concrete migration path.

What is the Sovereignty Scan

The Sovereignty Scan is a structured assessment that uncovers three dimensions of your martech stack: the tools you use and under whose jurisdiction they fall, the data they process and how sensitive it is, and the way your marketing and content organization is structured.

That last point makes the difference. An organization with one website and one marketing team has a completely different replacement path than an organization with multiple brands, countries, or decentralized teams. The number of tools tells you what's in the stack. The organization tells you how complex it will be to change that stack. The Sovereignty Scan maps out both.

Not a casual advisory conversation, but a tangible working document you can use immediately — even if you don't continue with Blastic.

How it works

1

Intake

15 minutes · online form

You fill out a short intake with your basic details, an indication of your current tools, and a profile of your organization: how many websites, brands, countries, and how your teams are organized. This gives our consultant context before the session.

2

Scan session

60 minutes · video call with 2–4 stakeholders

A Blastic consultant speaks with your marketing, IT, and compliance stakeholders. We start with your organization profile, then map out your complete stack, assess the risks per tool, and discuss your ambitions and priorities. No sales pitch — a substantive session.

3

Report

Within 5 business days · 12–16 pages

You receive a professional Sovereignty Scan Report. Not a generic story, but a document specifically tailored to your organization, with concrete findings, scores, and recommendations.

What's in the report

Sovereignty Score

A score from 0 to 100 indicating how sovereign your current stack is. Including a benchmark for your sector.

Complexity matrix

A profile of your organization that determines how complex a transition will be: simple, medium, or complex.

Stack heatmap

Every tool classified into three rings of risk. Per tool: vendor, jurisdiction, data type, risk, and who uses the tool.

Organization map

A visual diagram of which brands and teams share which tools and where the governance question lies.

Sovereign alternatives

For each high-risk tool, a concrete European alternative with organizational fit for your situation.

Migration path

A phased plan adapted to your complexity level, with quick wins and strategic steps.

Who is the scan for

The Sovereignty Scan is relevant for any organization that processes customer data in its martech stack and wonders how sovereign that stack truly is. The scan is most valuable when you bring marketing, IT, and compliance together at the table.

Marketing directors CTOs & IT directors Compliance officers & DPOs Government & public sector Healthcare Financial services Education & knowledge institutions

What makes the scan different

Not just tools

We also look at your organizational structure: brands, teams, countries, governance. That determines the real complexity.

Concrete alternatives

No abstract advice. For each high-risk tool, we name a European alternative that functionally fits your situation.

Immediately usable

The report is a working document you can use in your budget request, board presentation, or vendor negotiation.

Frequently asked questions

What is digital sovereignty in the context of martech?

Digital sovereignty in martech means that you have full legal and technical control over your marketing technology stack. It's not just about where your data is stored (data location), but also about which legislation applies to it (jurisdiction). If your CMS, analytics, or marketing automation runs on an American provider, your data falls under the US CLOUD Act — even if the servers are located in Europe.

A sovereign martech stack consists of tools that fall entirely under European jurisdiction.

Why is the CLOUD Act a risk for my marketing stack?

The CLOUD Act (2018) gives the US the right to request data from any American-controlled provider, regardless of where that data is physically stored. FISA Section 702 goes even further and enables bulk surveillance of non-American individuals.

This applies to all major US cloud providers and SaaS platforms — including the tools in your martech stack. In practice: if your CMS runs on an American vendor, the US can request your content and customer data without you or a European regulator being notified.

Can I make my existing martech stack sovereign without replacing everything?

Yes. Blastic takes a phased approach. We start with a Sovereignty Scan to map out your risk profile. Then we design a composable architecture with European vendors and migrate step by step, starting with the most critical components.

You don't have to replace everything at once — and you don't sacrifice any functionality.

What European CMS alternatives are there for WordPress or Contentful?

There are an increasing number of powerful European CMS platforms. Plate CMS is a Dutch CMS that recently migrated to fully Dutch hosting at Info Support. Prepr is an Amsterdam-based headless CMS with built-in personalization and A/B testing.

In addition, Umbraco (Denmark) and Kentico (Czech Republic) are strong European DXP platforms that Blastic implements as a partner.

What does a Sovereignty Scan cost?

The Sovereignty Scan is a no-obligation 45-minute conversation in which Blastic maps out the critical dependencies in your current martech stack. There are no costs involved.

You receive a clear overview of your risk profile and concrete recommendations for a sovereign martech stack.

Is digital sovereignty only relevant for the public sector?

No. Although the government is leading the way with the 2026 coalition agreement in which digital autonomy becomes a guiding principle, the topic is broadly relevant. Organizations in healthcare, financial services (DORA, NIS2), education, and B2B companies with sensitive customer or IP data all benefit from a sovereign martech stack.

Get in touch and we'll discuss what this means for your organization.
