FES Scores 9
| Pillar | Criterion | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | Day-one UX Can non-technical staff use it without a project? | 2 | Freispace offers a free plan with basic features, allowing day-one access to core functionality. Source |
| Easy | Operate Admin burden, updates, backups and language coverage. | 3 | Freispace provides a hosted EU_SAAS solution with managed operations and uptime guarantees. Source |
| Easy | Integrate SSO, mail/CalDAV, APIs and common NGO connectors. | 2 | Freispace supports API integrations but lacks detailed documentation or pre-built connectors. Source |
| Fair | Lock-in / exit Can you leave with your data in open formats, at known cost? | 3 | Rule baseline (rubric_v1): EU SaaS usually allows export, but remapping integrations still costs effort. Source |
| Fair | Sovereignty EU legal entity, EU hosting, and exposure to extra-EU lawful access? | 5 | Rule baseline (rubric_v1): EU legal entity + EU-hosted SaaS offering. 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 | User security 2FA, roles, phishing resistance and safe defaults. | 2 | Freispace offers basic user authentication but no multi-factor authentication (MFA) is explicitly mentioned. Source |
| Secure | Personal data GDPR fit: DPA, residency, sub-processors and Schrems II posture. | 4 | European vendor GDPR posture; still confirm DPA and subprocessors. Source |
