02Official website signals
What Dastra emphasises on its own website
Dastra positions itself as a European data privacy and governance platform for GDPR, e-Privacy and EU AI Act workflows. Official source reviewed on 30 June 2026.
- Official pages emphasise RoPA, privacy rights, assessments, third-party work, consent and cookie compliance, breach workflows and AI-governance coverage.

- Dastra is best compared as a broad EU privacy suite where consent, cookies and training sit alongside core privacy records.
03Published strengths
Dastra products, services and stated strengths
A fair comparison names what the other platform does well. Dastra is an established, genuinely broad GDPR suite with deep CNIL fluency, and for some buyers it is the better choice.
- Consent and cookie compliance through a built-in CMP with a cookie scanner that identifies the cookies on a site - Acompli is not a consent-management platform and does not scan cookies.
- An integrated training academy (filmed courses, monthly live sessions, quizzes and certificates) built into the platform - Acompli has no training module.
- Breach and incident management as a packaged module, plus a contract and policy register and document generation.
- Deep CNIL alignment, a French-language and 90-language interface, 300+ pre-built record models, and Excel/CSV import with PDF/Excel/CSV/Word/JSON/Markdown and Article 30 export - a broad, mature operating surface. Pricing is on request rather than public, the same model as Acompli.

| Decision question | Dastra | Acompli |
|---|---|---|

07Ireland & UK
Dastra vs Acompli for RoPA in Ireland and the UK
Both platforms are European and built for GDPR, but their regulatory centre of gravity differs: Dastra is French-rooted and CNIL-fluent, while Acompli is anchored to the Irish DPC and the UK ICO. For an Irish or UK team the deciding question is the depth of the Article 30 record and how cleanly it exports for your own authority. Records of processing are required under GDPR Article 30 - a controller record under Article 30(1) and a processor record under Article 30(2); the Irish DPC and the UK ICO each publish Article 30 documentation guidance.
For both Dastra and Acompli, buyers should ask to see entity-scoped exports, reviewer history, source evidence and how EU GDPR and UK GDPR records are separated in practice.
- EU GDPR Article 30(1) and Article 30(2) controller and processor records.
- UK GDPR Article 30 documentation and ICO guidance fit.
- Irish DPC accountability expectations and exportable evidence for each legal entity.
08Shortlisting notes
When Dastra belongs on the shortlist
Dastra should remain on the shortlist when its published market lane, product strengths and buyer fit match the requirement.
Acompli should be evaluated only where its own workflow coverage matches the requirement; this page is intended to show overlap and gaps, not to force a universal replacement narrative.
- Shortlist Dastra when its broad modular suite, cookie-consent CMP, integrated training and CNIL fluency match the programme you want to run.
- Shortlist Acompli when the main problem is keeping evidence, assessments, RoPA, suppliers, DSARs and risk decisions connected and defensible after approval.
- Ask each supplier to demonstrate the same workflow using current product screens, exports, review history and implementation assumptions.

Acompli answers
Acompli as a Dastra alternative
Who are Dastra's competitors?
Dastra's main competitors in privacy management include OneTrust, TrustArc and Didomi, alongside other GDPR and compliance platforms. Acompli competes as a focused, privacy-native alternative for Ireland, UK and EU teams that want connected, evidence-traceable RoPA, DPIA, DSAR, risk, vendor and AI-governance records with human approval, rather than a broad all-in-one suite with consent and training.
Is Acompli a good Dastra alternative?
Acompli is a strong Dastra alternative when the priority is a defensible, assessment-fed record rather than breadth of modules. RoPA, DPIA, DSAR, risk and vendor records are connected, confidence-scored, human-approved and exportable for the Irish DPC or UK ICO. Dastra remains the better fit if you specifically need a cookie-consent CMP, cookie scanning, an integrated training academy or its deep CNIL fluency.
Does Acompli replace Dastra?
Acompli can replace Dastra for the core privacy-operations workflows - RoPA, DPIA, DSAR, privacy risk, vendor records, data mapping and EU AI Act governance - for many teams. It does not replace Dastra's cookie-consent CMP, its cookie scanner or its integrated training academy; teams that rely on those keep them alongside Acompli.
How do Dastra and Acompli differ?
Dastra is a broad, French-rooted, CNIL-fluent all-in-one suite - privacy management plus consent, cookie scanning, breach, an AI-systems register, a policy register and a training academy. Acompli is narrower and deeper on governed records: assessment-fed Article 30 records, data mapping, AI-Act governance and code-scan evidence, each traceable to its source, human-approved, and exportable per legal entity for the Irish DPC or UK ICO.
Does Dastra publish pricing, and does Acompli?
Dastra publishes plan names - Starter, Pro and Enterprise, plus public-service and external-DPO offers - but does not list public price figures, a free plan or a free trial; pricing is by demo or quote. Acompli also prices on scope (legal entities, jurisdictions, users and integrations) and provides pricing on request rather than a public list price, because the effort scales with the programme rather than the number of logins.
What is the best Dastra alternative for Irish and UK privacy teams?
The best Dastra alternative for Irish and UK privacy teams is one built around GDPR Article 30 coverage, DPC and ICO fit, and a self-contained per-entity export. Acompli is built around exactly those - both Article 30(1) and 30(2) records, EU and UK GDPR distinguished on one register, and an export the DPC or ICO can read without a platform login. Dastra is French-rooted and CNIL-fluent, so teams whose regulatory centre of gravity is Ireland or the UK often prefer Acompli's anchoring.
Does Dastra have an EU AI Act module?
Yes - Dastra includes a genuine AI-systems register that classifies systems by EU AI Act risk level (minimal, limited, high and unacceptable), runs risk analysis, links AI systems to the data-processing record, and exports systems, audits and compliance evidence. It also references broader frameworks such as ISO/IEC 42001 and the NIST AI RMF. Acompli's AI governance module covers the same EU AI Act risk-classification and assessment-driven AI-system records, with the difference being provenance - each AI-system entry is human-approved and traces back to its evidence source - plus code-scan evidence for software in scope.
Does Dastra include consent and cookie management?
Yes - Dastra ships a cookie-consent CMP with a cookie scanner that identifies the cookies on a site, a customisable consent widget (with a WordPress plugin and Google Tag Manager integration), and consent-proof storage and export. Acompli is not a consent-management platform and does not scan cookies, so a team that needs a CMP would keep Dastra's consent module or a dedicated CMP alongside Acompli.
Is Dastra suitable for multi-entity groups and external DPOs?
Dastra supports dividing a register by entity, department and person and lets external DPOs manage multiple clients from one place, with a dedicated external-DPO partnership offer - so it serves groups and consultancies well. Acompli's multi-entity model adds a self-contained per-entity export for each supervisory authority, so for corporate groups with distinct controller/processor records per subsidiary - each answering its own DPC or ICO - Acompli's per-entity export may be a closer structural fit.
How do Dastra and Acompli handle import and export?
Both are strong here. Dastra imports in bulk from Excel and CSV and exports in PDF, Excel, CSV, Word, JSON and Markdown, including an Article 30 format. Acompli also supports spreadsheet import and PDF/CSV/Excel export, and adds a self-contained per-entity export the Irish DPC or UK ICO can read without a platform login. The practical difference is less the formats and more the provenance: in Acompli each exported field traces back to the approved assessment that produced it.
