France· Office Productivity Suite
Needs review
Shortlist when you want a French all-in-one workspace on operator-owned servers in Savoie with a public Art. 28 DPA and frank security limits. Skip when you need SecNumCloud/HDS, E2EE, mature Apple clients, or multi-admin 24/7 operations. Consider mailbox.org, Kolab Now or Nextcloud instead in those cases.

Operator-owned file sync in Savoie
ArkiaCloud stores and syncs files from Windows, browser or phone, with expiring password-protected share links, team spaces, trash and prior versions. Primary disks sit in Frontenex; nightly encrypted backups go to a second GS Informatique site in Faverges.
Email with optional custom-domain Pro
ArkiaMail provides ad-free mailboxes with spam filtering and optional two-factor authentication. Free accounts include a limited mailbox; larger boxes and ArkiaMail Pro on the customer's own domain are provisioned as paid add-ons (Pro is set up with the operator, not only self-serve).
Browser docs compatible with Office formats
ArkiaDocs offers word processing, spreadsheets and presentations in the browser with multi-user editing and claimed compatibility with Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, living on the same account as files and mail.
Calendar, contacts and photo backup
ArkiaAgenda syncs shared calendars, contacts and tasks with phone and desktop clients. ArkiaPhotos backs up phone photos and groups them by date, place and face; face templates are computed on Frontenex servers and can be disabled on request.
Windows desktop app shipping now
A native Windows 10/11 64-bit app (site lists version 1.6.0) auto-syncs chosen folders and opens mail, files, docs and calendar in one window. Android is described as in Play Store review; macOS and iOS clients are still in development.
Client-side end-to-end versleuteling
E-mails worden direct in de browser versleuteld met RSA en AES-256 vóór verzending. Proton-servers verwerken alleen versleutelde tekst, wat toegang voorkomt zelfs onder juridische druk. Berichtinhoud blijft privé, of u nu communiceert met mede-Proton-gebruikers of beschermde links stuurt.
PhishGuard en geavanceerde beveiligingstools
Ingebouwde PhishGuard detecteert phishingpogingen door afzendergedrag en links te analyseren. Functies als verzending ongedaan maken, plannen, uitstellen en nieuwsbrieforganisatie stroomlijnen workflows veilig. PGP-ondersteuning maakt integratie met bestaande versleutelde netwerken mogelijk; zelfvernietigende e-mails voegen controle toe over gevoelige shares.
Cross-platform apps en Bridge
Native apps voor web, mobiel (iOS/Android) en desktop bieden consistente toegang. Proton Mail Bridge integreert met IMAP/SMTP-clients, waardoor versleuteld gebruik in Outlook of Thunderbird mogelijk is zonder beveiliging in te leveren. Geschikt voor professionals die op legacy-tools vertrouwen.
Hide-My-Email-aliassen en ecosysteemintegratie
Via SimpleLogin genereert u wegwerpaliassen om echte adressen te maskeren, spam en tracking te verminderen. Naadloze koppelingen met Proton Calendar, Drive, VPN en Pass creëren een uniforme privacy-suite. Bedrijven krijgen aangepaste domeinen en prioriteitsondersteuning op betaalde plannen.

| GDPR / EU data protection | Vendor claimed French EURL controller/processor; public privacy policy and Art. 28 contract. Confirm fit for your processing roles. | Niet vermeld |
| US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative) | Partial French entity with no known US parent; content on operator-owned FR servers. Residual exposure via Stripe (US-group payments) and Have I Been Pwned password API. Not legal advice. | Niet vermeld |
| Data processing agreement (B2B) | Vendor claimed Public Art. 28 subcontracting agreement accepted at signup/order; printable signature annex available. | Niet vermeld |
| EU AI Act | Not applicable Face grouping on photos is a biometric-adjacent feature for the account holder's own library; product is not marketed as a general-purpose AI system. | Niet vermeld |
| SecNumCloud / HDS | Not found Vendor materials do not claim SecNumCloud or HDS; submitter also stated none. | Niet vermeld |
| Considerations & known limitations | ArkiaSuite | Proton Mail |
|---|---|---|
| No disk encryption at rest on site | Medium Vendor states Frontenex disks are protected by physical lock, not encryption at rest. Off-site backups are encrypted because they travel. Theft of powered-off disks or physical access is a different threat model than hyperscaler encrypted volumes. | Niet vermeld |
| No end-to-end encryption | Medium Administrator access can technically read stored files. Fine for many SMEs that need server-side search and previews; incompatible with E2EE mandates. | Niet vermeld |
| Single-operator support and admin | Medium Art. 28 text states only Gérald Sonzogni has admin access and answers support. Strong accountability, weak redundancy for holidays, illness or exit planning. | Niet vermeld |
| Limited non-Windows clients | Medium Windows app ships; Android and Apple clients are not fully released. Browser access mitigates some gaps but not all mobile workflows. | Niet vermeld |
| No SecNumCloud, HDS or public audit | High No independent audit, ISO 27001, SOC 2, SecNumCloud or HDS found. Public-sector and health buyers with those gates must look elsewhere. | Niet vermeld |
| US-group payment subprocessor | Low Stripe Payments Europe processes cards. Content is said not to leave GS Informatique servers, but payment metadata still involves a US-group processor. | Niet vermeld |
