Privacy-Preserving Data Layer for Secure AI and Analytics Workflows

digitalPilotedTRL 7

Imagine you want to study a secret recipe without ever seeing the ingredients list. This technology acts like a smart filter that lets researchers find patterns and train AI models while keeping the actual private data hidden. It creates a safe 'middleman' so companies can collaborate without risking a data leak.

The business problem

What needed solving

Companies cannot use their most valuable sensitive data for AI training and research due to strict privacy laws and the risk of data leaks.

The solution

What was built

A privacy layer featuring a DP-LLM-FT module for fine-tuning LLMs, a DP-RAG module for queries, and an open-source SQL manipulation tool called Qrlew.

Who can put this to work

Healthcare
enterprise
Target: Hospital Networks

If you are a hospital network dealing with strict patient confidentiality laws — this project developed a privacy layer that allows researchers to analyze medical data without direct access. This removes privacy barriers while ensuring GDPR compliance.

Finance
enterprise
Target: Banking Institutions

If you are a bank dealing with sensitive financial transactions — this project developed a tool to fine-tune AI models using private data without exposing the training sets. This enables advanced analytics while protecting customer secrets.

Public Sector
any
Target: Smart City Operators

If you are a city operator dealing with citizen movement data — this project developed synthetic data versions that facilitate urban analysis without compromising individual identities. This boosts trust in technology and societal progress.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or pricing model for this solution?

Based on available project data, specific pricing is not listed, but the coordinator has already conducted successful paid pilots with hospitals and financial services companies.

Can this be scaled to an industrial level?

Yes, the project's primary objective is to industrialize and robustify the solution to support any data workflow in a privacy-preserving way.

Who owns the IP or how is it licensed?

Based on available project data, some components like the DP-RAG module and the Qrlew tool have been open-sourced, while the core solution is being industrialized by Sarus Technologies.

How does this handle GDPR and data regulations?

The solution automates privacy protection by applying Differential Privacy principles, specifically designed to address concerns regarding GDPR and citizen rights.

How does it integrate with existing IT systems?

The system is designed to blend effortlessly into existing workflows and includes Docker support for encapsulating computations in any language.

Consortium

Who built it

The project is led by a single SME, Sarus Technologies from France, which holds 100% of the industry ratio. This lean structure suggests a highly focused commercial drive, as the coordinator is directly responsible for both technical implementation and go-to-market initiatives.
