What is Espresso Data Privacy?
Espresso Data Privacy is a Privacy Operations Cockpit from Yoosana GmbH in Zug. Six modules find personal data in your systems, maintain the register, handle requests from data subjects, delete according to defined rules, control stored AI data and share data safely – with proof for every step. Espresso runs at the customer's site: in your own data centre, in your own cloud or with an operating partner.
How does a Privacy Operations Cockpit differ from a data protection management system?
A data protection management system documents obligations: registers, deadlines, policies. A Privacy Operations Cockpit puts them into practice in the systems – it finds, processes, deletes and delivers the proof.
Do I have to use all six modules?
No. Each module can be licensed individually; AI Privacy Control and Privacy Delivery build on Data Discovery. Start with what matters most and add further modules when you are ready.
Which systems does Espresso connect to?
Data Discovery scans file storage, the databases PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB and Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft 365 and stored data from the use of Claude. For deletions, your applications are connected via an open interface, using REST or Azure Service Bus – including core systems and SAP environments. For access requests, Subject Request searches supported databases and REST interfaces or queries the system owners.
How does Espresso help with data subject access requests?
Subject Request records the request, searches the connected systems for the data subject's data, keeps track of the deadline and prepares the response. After four-eyes approval, an erasure request is passed on for deletion, and the result is returned to the case.
What does Espresso do for the safe use of AI and Copilot?
Data Discovery shows where personal data is stored in Microsoft 365 before Copilot finds it. AI Privacy Control controls stored AI data such as prompts, chat histories, stored transcripts and content generated by Copilot.
Can Espresso generate test data without real personal data?
Yes. Privacy Delivery generates test data in a valid format, pseudonymises data for analytics and AI applications, and records who received which data.
Does Espresso run in the cloud?
Espresso runs wherever you operate it: in your data centre, in your own cloud or with an operating partner. Espresso never establishes a connection to the vendor of its own accord.
Does Espresso replace Microsoft Purview?
Espresso complements Purview. Purview is geared towards Microsoft 365; Espresso works across all systems – from the core system to the archive – and integrates Microsoft 365.
Does Espresso help with the FADP and GDPR?
Espresso implements data subject rights and deletion obligations technically and delivers the proof – for personal data under the Swiss FADP as well as under the GDPR. Since the revised FADP came into force, responsible individuals face fines of up to CHF 250,000 (Art. 60 et seq. FADP). Which obligations apply to your organisation is something to assess with your legal advisers.
How do we get started?
With a 30-minute demo or directly with a fixed-price assessment – with a focus on Copilot and AI if you wish.
