In short

Talkspirit, in the Docs & wikis category, is a European service with France as its hosting location and at most minor, transient US exposure under the CLOUD Act.

Assessment notes

Talkspirit SAS (Paris, France; 72 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré; SIRET 479 109 332) is a French-founded enterprise social network and intranet platform hosted on OVH in Roubaix, France. Homepage claims ISO 27001 and SecNumCloud qualifications and EUCS compliance; governing law is French. Privacy policy acknowledges some US sub-processors covered by SCCs. Signals: EU-owned (French SAS), EU-hosted (OVH Roubaix, France), ISO 27001 claimed, SecNumCloud qualification claimed, EUCS compliance claimed, French governing law. Gaps: no separate DPA download link: the Terms of Service confirm the processor role only and direct buyers to request a contract; some US sub-processors managed under SCCs (minor exposure).

OVERVIEW

About Talkspirit

Talkspirit is a Paris-headquartered French enterprise social network and organisational operating system operated by Talkspirit SAS and founded in 2004 by Philippe Pinault and Olivier Ricard. The platform is designed as a complete replacement for Meta's Workplace, combining three core modules: Structure (dynamic org-chart, role clarity, OKR management), Collaboration (projects, documents, shared workspaces), and Communication (chat, video meetings, news feed). The product reports 900+ organisations and 150,000+ users with 160+ partners.

For EU-sovereignty procurement Talkspirit is the structurally cleanest French-SaaS listing in the docs-wikis/intranet category. The legal entity is Talkspirit SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée, capital €16,000, SIRET 479 109 332, registered at the Paris Commercial Registry). Data is hosted on OVH infrastructure in Roubaix, France per the legal notice. The homepage claims ISO 27001, SecNumCloud qualification, and EUCS compliance, making it one of very few enterprise social network vendors with a SecNumCloud qualification, which is the highest French sovereign cloud standard and a strong signal for French public-sector procurement. Governing law is explicitly French (Article 8 of ToS), with disputes under the Paris Commercial Court.

The privacy policy acknowledges some US sub-processors covered by Standard Contractual Clauses, a minor cloud_act_exposure flag in the strict rubric, but structurally managed through French governing law and French data residency. No public DPA download link was found at audit time; procurement teams should request the AVV/DPA directly. Pricing is sales-engaged (demo-request model); specific EUR tier figures not published on the website. Best fit: French companies and EU public-sector buyers wanting a Workplace from Meta replacement with the highest available French compliance posture (SecNumCloud + ISO 27001); organisations requiring French-law governance; teams needing org-chart, OKR, and project management in one platform alongside chat and news feed.
