| Pillar | Criterion | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | Day-one UX Can non-technical staff use it without a project? | ||
| Easy | Operate Admin burden, updates, backups and language coverage. | 2 | Rule baseline (rubric_v1): self-host usually means patching, backups and upgrades for the NGO. Source |
| Easy | Integrate SSO, mail/CalDAV, APIs and common NGO connectors. | 2 | No clear integration documentation or API references found on the provided sources. Source |
| Fair | Lock-in / exit Can you leave with your data in open formats, at known cost? | 4 | Rule baseline (rubric_v1): self-host helps exit; proprietary product may still constrain formats. Source |
| Fair | Sovereignty EU legal entity, EU hosting, and exposure to extra-EU lawful access? | 5 | Rule baseline (rubric_v1): EU vendor software; you choose EU infrastructure when self-hosting. Source |
| Fair | Openness Open source or open standards? Are independent implementations possible? | 2 | Rule baseline (rubric_v1): proprietary / non-OSI license — openness capped unless open standards dominate. Source |
| Secure | IT security Authentication, encryption, patch cadence and independent audit. | 3 | Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is provided, indicating compliance with GDPR requirements for IT security. Source |
| Secure | User security 2FA, roles, phishing resistance and safe defaults. | 2 | Privacy policy mentions data protection but does not detail user security controls or practices. Source |
| Secure | Personal data GDPR fit: DPA, residency, sub-processors and Schrems II posture. | 3 | Rule baseline (rubric_v1): usable DPA URL found — residency/transfers still need human review. Source |
