Detailed Review
Dastra is a French platform from DASTRA, registered at the Creteil trade and companies registry under RCS 888 411 741 and based in Saint-Mande. The vendor says it serves 4,000 companies and 19,000 users in nine languages, a vendor claim.
Modules include the processing register, data subject requests, tasks, data breaches, questionnaires, DPIA, risk management and a cookie consent widget, and a dedicated external DPO mode lets one person manage several client organisations. The vendor says the tool is free to try and offers a demo, and its pages describe the interface as built for non-specialists as well as full-time DPOs.
Three tiers exist: Starter with the register and privacy-by-design questionnaires, Pro adding rights requests, breaches, contracts and a trust center, and Enterprise adding frameworks such as GDPR, Europrivacy and ISO 27001 with single sign-on.
No price is published and the site says only that it is free to try. The legal notice states the site runs on Microsoft Azure servers in France, which is a US-owned provider in a European region. Enterprise adds SAML2 and OpenID single sign-on, advanced security options and evidence automation, which matters for regulated buyers with a formal control framework.
