Espresso Data Privacy

Privacy Operations Cockpit

Find. Delete. Prove.

Espresso Data Privacy puts data protection into practice where the data lives: it finds personal data in your systems, answers requests from data subjects, controls AI data, deletes according to your rules and proves every step. Operated in your data centre, in your cloud or by an operating partner.

Across all modules, the cockpit shows what is outstanding and what has demonstrably been done (simplified view with sample data).

Data protection does not end with the register

Registers, policies and data deletion concepts record what ought to be done. It is then carried out by hand, year after year – or not at all. Sooner or later, internal audit, the regulator or a data subject will ask: Where is the data, who uses it, and can you prove what has happened to it?

  • Nobody knows exactly where personal data is stored.

    It sits in core systems, peripheral systems, archives, file storage and Microsoft 365 – linked by dependencies that no one fully grasps.

  • Requests take days.

    Every access request means searching many systems, compiling the results and meeting the deadline.

  • Deadlines without action.

    The data deletion concept is in place, but deleting across many systems is laborious and keeps getting postponed.

  • AI multiplies the data.

    Prompts, transcripts and Copilot output store personal data all over again – in places no register knows about.

  • No proof.

    What has happened is shown by one-off checks and lists, not by an auditable log.

Espresso in two minutes

How Espresso finds personal data, answers requests, deletes according to your rules and proves every step – an overview with fictitious sample data.

No sound, with subtitles.

Start with what is most pressing

Deletion obligations, data subject access requests or the start with Copilot: every organisation has its own urgent issue. Two routes are particularly well suited – but you can just as well start wherever things are most pressing for you and build from there.

Delete and prove

Fulfil deletion obligations across many systems and prove it to internal audit and the regulator. Your systems do the deleting themselves; Espresso orchestrates, takes dependencies and objections into account, obtains approvals and logs every step.

Get the full picture

Where is our personal data? What is overdue? Is Microsoft 365 ready for Copilot? Espresso scans your sources and shows the result in the cockpit – the fastest way there is a fixed-price assessment.

Data Discovery · Privacy Register · AI Privacy Control

Go to the assessment

One cockpit for the entire cycle

Six modules that work together – and can be licensed individually. Start with one and expand when you are ready.

Cockpit Data Discovery Privacy Register Subject Request Data Deletion AI Privacy Control Privacy Delivery
  1. Data Discovery

    find

    Finds personal data in file storage, databases and Microsoft 365 – using rules and local detection of names and addresses, without any data going to third parties.

  2. Privacy Register

    record

    Maintains the register of your systems and processing activities based on actual findings rather than questionnaires alone – including the record of processing activities.

  3. Subject Request

    handle requests

    Handles access and erasure requests from data subjects: search across your systems, deadlines in view, deletion with proof.

  4. Data Deletion

    delete and prove

    Orchestrates deletions across many systems, with dependencies, objections, approvals and a deletion log for every run.

  5. AI Privacy Control

    control AI data

    Records AI systems, classifies them and checks stored AI data such as prompts, transcripts and content generated by Copilot.

  6. Privacy Delivery

    share safely

    Pseudonymises data before it is passed to an AI or to third parties and puts the original values back into the response – plus protected exports and test data, with proof of who received what.

Data protection that takes action

Put into practice, not just documented

Documentation tools record the concept. Espresso puts it into practice in your systems and delivers the proof.

Across all systems, including the old ones

Core systems, databases, file storage and Microsoft 365: Espresso finds, queries and deletes via open interfaces – without touching the business logic, across SAP and non-SAP landscapes alike.

Runs in your environment

In your data centre, in your cloud or with an operating partner. Your personal data stays under your control.

One cockpit instead of isolated solutions

Findings flow into the register, erasure requests into deletion once approved, proof back to the request. One complete picture of all obligations instead of many spreadsheets.

AI that stays with you

Espresso already searches your data locally today, without the cloud – including names and addresses in free text. Every future AI function will likewise run in your environment – without any data going to external AI services.

Proof at every step

Approvals by authorised people (four-eyes principle for retention periods and erasure requests) and an audit trail in every module: traceable for internal audit and the regulator – and controlled by people, not by an AI that guesses.

Frequently asked questions

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?
