Introduction to Astralis: Accelerate AI with trust-aware data
This briefing shows how Ethyca’s Astralis makes data safe to use at AI speed, so CIOs and CDOs can ship trusted models without months of manual review.

Meet Astralis
The platform for scalable, responsible AI
Most enterprises aren’t blocked by models. They’re blocked by data that’s fragmented, sensitive, and hard to trust. Astralis is Ethyca’s data trust layer: a unified decisioning plane that binds context, consent, purpose, policy, and de-identification directly to the data itself. It integrates with your existing warehouses, notebooks, and LLM workflows to enforce “who can use what, for what purpose, in what form” in real time.
In this whitepaper, you’ll learn how to replace slow, human gatekeeping with machine-executable governance. See how Astralis delivers contextual intelligence, consent & purpose binding, programmable de-identification, and automated policy enforcement, turning governance from a paper exercise into production infrastructure that accelerates AI, reduces risk, and builds durable trust.

Founder & CEO, EthycaCillian Kieran
Cillian founded Ethyca to solve the structural problem of data trust. With a systems-engineering background, he champions governance-as-infrastructure so enterprises can move faster while proving compliance and control.
CTO, EthycaNeville Samuell
Neville leads engineering at Ethyca, translating governance theory into operational controls. He has overseen Astralis integrations across data platforms to ensure policy enforcement operates at the same velocity as AI workflows.
Understand why “AI-ready” means “trust-ready,” and how to operationalize both. This whitepaper maps the invisible failure modes that stall AI, then outlines Astralis’s layered architecture for context, consent, minimization, and enforcement. You’ll get practical guidance to embed controls at point-of-use, prove compliance continuously, and give data teams safe, instant access to the signal they need.
