Local AI: your own language model

  • Open-source language model (LLM) on a Daropa AI server in the EU

  • Answers with references to the source documents
  • Each user only receives answers from documents they have access to
  • New and modified documents are automatically re-read
  • Runs on an AI server at your location: documents never leave your organisation

Availability

Local AI is an option in every package. Local RAG is available as standard in the business package from 51 users. For smaller organisations, or those who want to keep all AI processing in-house, we supply and install a dedicated AI PC with Local AI and RAG on your own workplace.

Backup and restore

Your data always recoverable

Losing data is frustrating, but on the Daropa Workplace almost everything can be recovered. Daropa creates a daily backup of the entire workplace, and with the Backup module, every user can also make their own copy of their data.

Daily backup by Daropa

  • Automatic daily backup of the entire workplace
  • In the event of a failure or major error, we restore everything
  • Requesting recovery is simple via a ticket in the customer portal

Create your own export

  • With Data migration, you choose what to include: files, calendar, contacts, Deck and more
  • The workplace creates a single export file and notifies you when it is ready
  • Download the file to keep a copy outside the workplace

Restoring

  • You can restore individual files from versions or the recycle bin yourself
  • You can restore an export using Import, even on a new server
  • Administrators determine which groups can use Data migration

Availability

The daily backup is included in every package. The Backup module costs €0.50 per user per month, for business and private customers.

Security and legislation

Privacy and compliance

GDPR

GDPR makes organisations responsible for handling personal data carefully. With a workplace in the EU, no data transfers outside Europe, and a data processing agreement, complying with GDPR becomes simpler.

Data within Europe

Your data is stored in a European data centre or on a PC at your location. There is no US party in the chain, so the CLOUD Act does not apply.

NIS2, BIO and NEN 7510

The workplace is set up for organisations working with these standards: encryption, two-factor authentication, logs, daily backups and access control.

Rights of data subjects

You can view, modify, export or delete data at any time. We help administrators handle data subject requests properly.

Daropa provides the technical measures. Whether your organisation complies with a standard also depends on your own policies and procedures. We are happy to think along with you.
