Astralis Overview: Programmatic DSR & Privacy Requests

What this video covers

Astralis automates data subject requests (DSARs) end to end, turning access and deletion requests into policy-driven, programmatic workflows that run across your enterprise systems. A manual request typically touches multiple departments and can take more than 40 hours over several weeks. Astralis completes the equivalent request in minutes through machine-to-machine retrieval governed by your policies, built on the Fides open-source data governance ontology.

This video walks through:

• Policy-based requests that define which categories of personal data to return or delete, by regulation, geography, or internal policy
• The Fides ontology mapping your data to the regulations that apply, so policies are easy to author
• A configurable privacy center for intake, including request forms Astralis can generate to match a regulation such as CCPA
• End-to-end execution across systems including Postgres, MongoDB, MailChimp, HubSpot, and Stripe
• Results grouped by processing activity, with field-level review before any data is returned, and statutory countdown tracking such as the CCPA 45-day clock
• A complete, permanent audit trail of every step for demonstrating compliance

How it works

The walkthrough covers three steps. First, building and maintaining DSR policies with the Fides taxonomy, which determines exactly what data is returned or erased under each request. Second, configuring the privacy center consumers use to submit access, deletion, and consent requests, including forms Astralis generates to match a given regulation. Third, running a request end to end: Astralis verifies identity, builds a retrieval graph across connected systems, groups results by processing purpose for review, and returns a branded data package to the requester while preserving an auditable record.
