Why Souvera is the better alternative to Microsoft Office

Microsoft Office remains a security risk

The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) warns about residual risks in Microsoft Office. Even when companies adjust many settings and disable macros, problems remain. Microsoft Office is highly complex: and that complexity is the danger.

Where Microsoft Office stays vulnerable

• Macros & add-ins: Often a gateway for attacks and should be disabled.
• Telemetry & data transfer: Data keeps flowing even when much is switched off.
• External cloud services: They create new attack surfaces and increase risk.
• Laborious hardening: Many rules and settings cost valuable time.

Souvera: the secure alternative to Microsoft Office

We built Souvera so that many of these problems never arise in the first place: saving you time and money while improving security.

1) Data sovereignty in Germany

All data stays in German data centers, subject to German law and the GDPR.

2) Security without compromise

Risky options such as unsigned macros are not enabled at Souvera. The attack surface is smaller and the environment safer.

3) Integrated platform instead of configuration chaos

Email, calendar, documents, chat and video conferencing from one platform: everything fits together and is protected from day one.

4) Full transparency instead of telemetry

We collect no hidden telemetry data and share no information with third parties.

Less IT effort: more security

Souvera is secure by default. Your IT effort drops while security rises.
