Aegis What is Mistral ZDR?
In cybersecurity, even the best AI provider can become a liability if sensitive data leaks or compliance standards are broken. Mistral ZDR flips that script, letting founders and teams harness AI’s power while keeping every workflow secure, private, and GDPR-aligned.
A Short Story About Why Any Software That Handles Payments Can Be Critical Infrastructure
Alarm bells rang when a team was overwhelmed with emails from users reporting unexpected payment issues. The team quickly assessed that the problem could be a simple bug or a serious cybersecurity risk. In any case, it became clear they needed to review thousands of lines of code as quickly as possible.
They explored AI tools to scan and analyze the entire system. However, they quickly faced another problem: each tool required sending their full proprietary source code to external servers, which would possibly also increase their overall risk and exposure.
After hours of research, they found a middle ground: AI with Zero Data Retention. This allowed them to run secure code scans and quickly identify the root cause of the security issue, while ensuring all source code sent to external servers was deleted immediately.
AI with Zero Data Retention
In short, Mistral ZDR is Mistral AI combined with ZDR (Zero Data Retention). Mistral AI is currently the largest publicly available European AI provider with an advanced AI model that can understand and generate text, analyze code, and assist with technical workflows.
With Zero Data Retention, any data you provide, including your source code, is processed and deleted immediately. Nothing is stored, logged, or used to train future models.
Using Mistral ZDR provided by Nyno Aegis allows founders & teams to:
- Scan or review code without storing sensitive information
- Keep proprietary data private by default
- Align with GDPR and other privacy standards
