What Infohotep does

Adequacy is a French sovereign SaaS platform for GDPR and adjacent regulatory compliance management, purpose-built for the Data Protection Officer and used by compliance, legal, and RSSI functions. The product is hosted on OVHcloud infrastructure in France and is positioned as 100% sovereign, 100% secure, and 100% simple, addressing European data residency requirements for regulated buyers. The platform is structured as three core tiers (Adequacy Start for foundational registry and PIA, Adequacy Essentiel for operational compliance including rights, contracts, and incidents, and Adequacy Expert for governance, audit, and risk management) supplemented by add-on modules covering the EU AI Act, NIS 2, legacy data, forms, local administration, and multi-regulation mapping ("Multiverse"). Differentiated technical capabilities include native multi-entity structuring, seven-language interface support (French, English, Dutch, Italian, German, Portuguese, Spanish), a continuously connected processing register with automatic regulatory updates, a documented API and SSO integration, and built-in data quality control with mass correction tooling.

The commercial model is a recurring tiered SaaS subscription with add-on module attach, sold through an enterprise field-sales motion that funnels prospects into demo requests and quotes rather than self-service sign-up. The company supplements software with onboarding, consulting, training, and an AFNOR-certified DPO certification program, signaling a services-augmented land-and-expand strategy. The customer base spans large French and European enterprises across aerospace and defense (Dassault Aviation, Naval Group), energy (TotalEnergies), chemicals (Solvay), automotive (Valeo), insurance (Generali France), media (Le Figaro, AFP), construction (Bouygues Construction), cloud infrastructure (OVHcloud), conglomerates (Bolloré), consumer advocacy (UFC Que Choisir), and higher education and healthcare (Sciences Po, Université Paris Cité, GHT Réunion, CHU Rouen). The company claims more than 10,000 legal entities served, 99.8% platform availability, and customer-reported outcomes of 50% time saved on register management and 75% time saved on impact analysis. Geographic focus is European, anchored in France, with horizontal segmentation across Grands comptes, Secteur public, ETI, and PME.

Direct peers

• BigID: BigID offers data intelligence and privacy management that maps, classifies, and governs personal data across enterprise systems — directly comparable to Adequacy's treatment register, transfer mapping, and DPO reporting capabilities, with a data-centric rather than process-centric angle.
• Securiti: Securiti is a data privacy, security, and AI governance cloud platform offering multi-regulation compliance including GDPR and AI Act modules. It directly competes with Adequacy's Multi-regulations and AI Act functionality for enterprise buyers.
• OneTrust: OneTrust is the leading global privacy, security, and governance SaaS platform with extensive multi-regulation capabilities including GDPR, AI governance, and consent management. It directly competes with Adequacy across the same enterprise buyer (DPO, CISO, compliance) and offers comparable multi-jurisdiction features.
• TrustArc: TrustArc is a long-standing privacy compliance SaaS provider offering GDPR assessments, privacy management, and consent tools to global enterprises. It overlaps directly with Adequacy on GDPR program management and multi-regulation support for multinational clients.
• Didomi: Didomi is a European consent and privacy management platform particularly strong in France, serving enterprise customers with consent, preference, and GDPR workflows. It directly competes with Adequacy in the French and EU markets with overlapping DPO-focused use cases.
• Usercentrics: Usercentrics (including Cookiebot) offers consent management and broader privacy compliance SaaS to European enterprises and competes directly with Adequacy on GDPR workflows and consent/rights handling. Like Adequacy, it has strong European regulatory orientation.

Broad incumbents

• Collibra: Collibra is a broader data governance/quality platform with privacy and compliance modules that competes indirectly with Adequacy at large enterprises with formal data governance programs. Compared to Adequacy, it operates as a wider data-catalyst suite rather than a privacy-specialist tool.
• Exterro: Exterro is a broader legal GRC and eDiscovery platform that includes privacy management and data subject rights capabilities. It competes indirectly with Adequacy at regulated buyers needing privacy modules within a wider eDiscovery/GRC stack.

Emerging players

• Clarip: Clarip is a privacy data management platform focused on GDPR/CCPA-centric use cases such as data mapping and DSARs. It overlaps partially with Adequacy's Start-tier register and rights-handling features but with a narrower, more US-leaning footprint.

Regional players

• DataGuard: DataGuard is a German/European privacy and information-security SaaS provider (with certifications and DACH focus) that competes with Adequacy in the same European sovereign-compliance niche. It is comparable for GDPR-centric buyers prioritizing EU-vendor status but with DACH-centric rather than French-centric reach.
