Red Flags

!US upstream stewardship remains in scope even when self-hosted
!Self-hosting materially improves data-location control for EU buyers

Why this score?

Jitsi has a mix of EU and non-EU dependencies, with legal exposure to US jurisdiction such as the CLOUD Act, FISA 702, and EO 12333. If your organization requires strict EU sovereignty, review the specific risks carefully.

What would raise the score?

• Establish EU-based legal entity as primary processor
• Replace non-EU subprocessors with EU alternatives
• Transfer ownership control to EU jurisdiction
