Regulatory context

What your organisation is required to have in place.

These are the specific frameworks and obligations relevant to your sector, not a generic GDPR checklist. Each one has a direct implication for how you govern AI use and data handling.

GDPR Right to Erasure

If personal data is in your training set, erasure requests create a model retraining obligation, unless training data was properly anonymised.

GDPR Data Minimisation

Only data necessary for the specific purpose should be processed. Production data used for ML training typically violates this principle.

ICO AI and Data Protection

ICO guidance on lawful bases for training AI systems and the requirements for data minimisation in ML pipelines.

Primary use cases

What your team gets from day one.

These are the specific workflows most organisations in your sector deploy first, in plain terms.

01
Privacy-safe training datasets with statistical distribution preserved

Generate synthetic datasets that match the statistical distribution, correlation structure, and null rates of production, without any real PII. FK-preserving extraction maintains referential integrity. Your models train on data that behaves like production.

02
Differential privacy mode for GDPR and HIPAA compliant synthetic outputs

Differential privacy noise injection with configurable epsilon. GDPR data minimisation and HIPAA safe harbour compliant synthetic outputs. Quantifiable privacy guarantee on every dataset.

03
Direct Parquet and S3 export to training pipelines

Export directly to Parquet, S3, Delta Lake, or your existing data lake. No intermediate CSV steps. Compatible with PyTorch, TensorFlow, and HuggingFace data loading patterns.

04
Scheduled production-to-training data refresh

Configure once. The production-to-training pipeline runs automatically. ML team always has a current, privacy-safe dataset without accessing production systems or raising a ticket.

Where to start

Which product to deploy first, and why.

Both products share the same detection engine. Most organisations in your sector start with one before adding the other.

Lead product
VestraData

Synthetic data pipeline for ML teams. Differential privacy mode. Direct Parquet and S3 export. Scheduled refresh. Designed to eliminate production data from ML training workflows.

Complementary
VestraShield

Data scientists use AI assistants to write training code, debug pipelines, and query production-like data. VestraShield intercepts every AI-assisted session to ensure sensitive content stays within your environment.

Key capabilities

What's covered in a standard deployment.

FK-preserving extraction

Referential integrity preserved across related tables. Relational structure of production data maintained in synthetic output.

Differential privacy (configurable ε)

Noise injection with configurable epsilon. Quantifiable privacy guarantees on every synthetic dataset, not just a qualitative claim.

Parquet and S3 export

Direct export to Parquet, S3, and Delta Lake. Column names and schema preserved. Works with PyTorch, TensorFlow, and HuggingFace DataLoaders.

Scheduled refresh pipeline

Configure once. Refresh runs automatically on your schedule. ML team always has a current dataset. No access to production required.

Distribution matching

Statistical distribution, correlation structure, and null rates matched to production. Edge cases preserved in synthetic output.

GDPR erasure compliance

Synthetic training data means erasure requests don't create retraining obligations. The personal data was never in the training set.

Notebook LLM intercept

Every AI-assisted cell execution in Jupyter, Colab, or similar environments is intercepted. Production-like data in notebooks doesn't reach external LLMs.

IDE completion intercept

GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and code assistant completions governed. Data scientists writing training code are covered without changing their workflow.

Production query governance

AI-assisted queries against production-like data stores intercepted at the HTTP proxy layer. No application changes required.

Per-team policy engine

Data science, ML engineering, and analytics teams get different intercept rules. Fine-grained configuration without a separate deployment per team.

Custom ML entity types

Model names, experiment IDs, pipeline references, and dataset identifiers caught by zero-shot GLiNER. No retraining required for custom entity types.

Development session audit trail

Every AI-assisted data science session logged with entity inventory. Attributable to team and user. Hash-chained and tamper-evident.

Next step

Read the SDK docs.

We connect to something real in your environment and you see actual findings. No slide decks. No fabricated data. Median time to first scan: under 4 hours from credentials.

For ML engineers and data scientists. SDK integration and pipeline questions welcome.
