We have independently confirmed GDPR for KeePass. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as KeePass not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for KeePass, not the verdict.
