Score breakdown

15/15 - License

Apache-2.0 is the listed open-source license in the public project materials.

15/18 - Self-host

Zitadel has public source and self-managed deployment paths; score reflects the expected operating footprint for identity.

13/16 - Data

A self-hosted deployment keeps primary data under operator control, with migration and backup quality depending on the deployment design.

10/12 - Privacy

Privacy posture depends on configuration, telemetry, retention, and integration choices documented or implied by the public project materials.

7/8 - Interop

The project exposes standard web, API, protocol, or integration surfaces appropriate to identity.

11/14 - Ops

The score reflects maintenance burden, release maturity, and the operational complexity implied by running this class of software.

10/12 - EU fit

It can be deployed in an EU-controlled environment; procurement fit still depends on support, contracts, accessibility, and hosting choices.

4/5 - Governance

Ownership and development are publicly visible through the linked project materials, but governance depth should be reviewed before procurement.
