The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a European regulation that came into effect in 2018, which governs the collection and processing of personal data within the European Union. It requires organizations to implement concrete measures to ensure transparency, security, and respect for the rights of individuals, under the threat of significant financial penalties in case of non-compliance.
Complying with the general data protection regulation is much more than a legal obligation, it is:
Optimize the management of personal data through automation and a clear overview. Save time, minimize risks, and strengthen your clients' trust, all with an intuitive and secure solution.
Comply with the obligation of Article 30 of the GDPR and benefit from a powerful management tool designed by GDPR experts for DPOs. Document processing activities using templates, questionnaires, or even AI to increase efficiency and finally keep them up to date!
Collaborate effectively with a set of pre-configured records designed to facilitate teamwork. Enrich your repositories and link them to your processing activities, data breaches, rights exercise requests, and files for comprehensive and centralized management.
From receiving requests to processing them, including secure authentication, centralize and track requests from your employees, clients, and contractors directly on the platform. Simplify management while ensuring compliance and security.
Record and track breaches detected internally or reported by your subcontractors, then assess their level of risk for optimal management.
Easily generate compliance reports and audits with one click using our document automation solution. Save time and focus on what matters! Export your record in a multitude of formats (PDF, Excel, CSV, JSON, Word, Markdown...) in just a few clicks.

Which internet browser should I use?
The solution works from a browser connected to the Internet. An internet connection is required as well as an up-to-date and state-of-the-art browser in terms of security. We recommend using standard browsers (Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera...). We do not support Microsoft Internet Explorer.
I don't quite understand the GDPR, is Dastra for me?
Yes!
We develop Dastra with one main objective: pedagogy!
Dastra is a software intended for data protection professionals (DPOs) but also for the operationnals (accounting, HR, logistics, IT etc.) so, in order for everyone to collaborate and understand what is expected of them, many pieces of information are accessible at any time in the application (for example, tooltips).
A tutorial documentation is also available here.
In addition, we accompany you in getting to grips with the application in an onboarding phase.
Can Dastra integrate with my applications?
Yes, the integration of Dastra with another application is generally always possible, provided that the target application has APIs (which many standard applications on the market do).
In theory, it is possible to do it yourself using the Dastra API. Otherwise, building API connectors is the main job of integrators: you just need the human resources to create, maintain and make business decisions about the behavior of synchronizations.
At Dastra, we have partnered with recognized integrators who know Dastra well and are fully capable of handling all connection requests.
If you have a question about integrating Dastra with a particular application, please feel free to contact us.
What resources are available on the platform?
Dastra includes many resources on GDPR and privacy compliance that are freely available. Whether it's practical information on the application of the GDPR, guides from the data protection authorities, guidelines from the EDPS or even an expert watch, you'll find all the resources you need to ensure your privacy compliance.
What support does Dastra offer?
We offer several ways to help you get started with the software:
In any case, when you first use the tool, we will assit you in a kick-off meeting (onboarding) to make sure you become autonomous on the application and to help you in your GDPR & privacy compliance!
How many languages are available in the Dastra tool?
Dastra natively includes 9 languages: French, English, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Polish and Greek. Other languages may be implemented in the data subject rights and cookies modules.
What features are included in the trial offer?
You have access to all of Dastra's features in the trial package, except for audit and data processing activities exports.

Can I host the files in my own environment?
Yes!
With DASTRA, you can connect yourself your own data hosting solution to host the documents stored in the application. This includes all documents stored in the document management system and documents stored in the rights management system.
You have control over the security of this hosting. The files remain under your control.
Today, we can connect Amazon S3 and Azure Blob Storage. Other services can be developed on demand, please contact us if you have a question regarding this topic.

Difference between an AI system and an AI model
Understanding the distinction between an AI model and an AI system is important for anyone interested in artificial intelligence, whether for developing new technologies or using them.
AI models are the fundamental components that perform specific tasks, while AI systems integrate these models into complete and functional solutions to address practical needs.
By recognizing these differences, one can better appreciate the complexity and scope of AI applications in various fields.
An AI model is a central component of artificial intelligence. It is a mathematical or statistical representation of a specific problem, developed from data.
AI models are trained to recognize patterns, make predictions, or make decisions based on data.
The most common types of AI models include neural networks, decision trees, support vector machines, and regression models.
Examples of AI models include:
The AI model is somewhat like the brain of AI. It is built and optimized through a training process, where it learns from historical data to improve its accuracy and efficiency.
An AI system is a broader and more complex application that integrates one or more AI models to accomplish a specific task.
It encompasses not only AI models but also the necessary components to collect, process, and analyze data, as well as interact with users.
In other words, an AI system is a complete solution that implements AI models within an operational framework.
Components of an AI system include:
Example of an AI system includes:

What is the EU regulation on AI?
The AI Act, or Regulation on Artificial Intelligence, is a regulation developed to regulate and encourage the development as well as the marketing of artificial intelligence systems within the European Union. Proposed by the European Commission in April 2021, the AI Act came into effect on July 12, 2024, after three years of negotiations.
What is the purpose of the AI Act?
The AI Act aims to create a harmonized legal framework in the EU to ensure that artificial intelligence systems are safe, transparent, ethical, and respect fundamental rights. More specifically, it has the following objectives:
What are the forms of risks?
The approach to AI systems is based on a risk assessment. The regulatory framework defines four categories of risk for artificial intelligence systems (AIS), with varying levels of regulation depending on the different levels of the pyramid.
In which Dastra subscription plan can I benefit from the AI Act?
The AI Act is marketed in a dedicated or complementary module of the Privacy offerings. Depending on the number of employees in your company, the subscription amount will vary. Please consult our pricing page or contact us to learn more.
