Use Case Examples

Real-World Applications

See how organizations across industries are using Dapto Connect to safely leverage AI with their sensitive data.

Healthcare Team Using RAG

Doctors want to ask questions from EMR records using GPT. Connect lets them do this by masking patient identifiers and auditing each access — ensuring HIPAA compliance.

  • Maintains context for accurate medical responses
  • Provides full audit trail for compliance officers
  • Enforces doctor-specific access permissions
Doctor Query:
What was the last treatment plan for patient with chest pain?
Connect Processing:
PHI DetectionData MaskingAccess Verification
AI Response:
Patient ID-**** was prescribed Lisinopril 10mg daily and referred to cardiology for follow-up.

Internal Finance Agent

Your AI assistant is connected to internal spending data. When a junior employee queries salaries, Connect blocks PII and redacts names — while letting them access approved insights.

Key Benefits

  • Role-based filtering of sensitive financial data
  • Granular permissions at the field level
  • Aggregated insights without exposing individual details
  • Comprehensive audit trail for compliance
Junior Analyst Query:
What are the salary ranges for the marketing department?
Connect Processing:
Query AnalysisRole CheckData Aggregation
AI Response:
Marketing department salary ranges are: Associates: $45K-65K, Managers: $75K-95K, Directors: $110K-140K. (Individual names and exact salaries redacted)

Customer Support Chatbot

Your AI bot pulls details from service logs and user manuals. Connect enforces row-level data access, so only relevant, safe information is passed to the model based on user role.

Key Benefits

  • Customer-specific data access controls
  • Automatic redaction of sensitive customer information
  • Integration with service ticket history
  • Real-time access to knowledge base with proper permissions
Customer Query:
Why was my recent support ticket #45872 closed without resolution?
Connect Processing:

Why It Matters

The Critical Link Between AI and Your Data

Most LLM risks happen when private data meets public AI models. Dapto Connect helps you unlock insights without compromising trust.

Security Risks

Without proper controls, connecting AI to your data can lead to data leaks, exposure of sensitive information, and compliance violations.

Privacy Concerns

AI models can inadvertently memorize and reproduce sensitive data, creating privacy risks for your customers and employees.

Compliance Requirements

Regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA mandate strict controls over how AI systems access, process, and store sensitive data.

"We wanted to enable AI use across departments — but only Dapto gave us the visibility and protection we needed for sensitive datasets. Now our teams can safely leverage AI with our internal data without compromising security or compliance."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Dapto Connect

Dapto Connect uses advanced pattern recognition to identify PII and sensitive information in your data. It then applies dynamic masking and redaction before the data is sent to AI models, ensuring that sensitive information is never exposed. Our system can detect over 50 types of sensitive data including credit card numbers, SSNs, addresses, and custom patterns specific to your organization. The masking is configurable, allowing you to choose between complete redaction, partial masking (e.g., showing only the last 4 digits), or tokenization based on your security requirements.
Dapto Connect supports a comprehensive range of data sources including SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle), data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift), document storage systems (SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox), CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot), and vector databases for RAG applications (Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, Milvus). Our flexible connector architecture also allows for custom integrations with proprietary systems through our SDK.
Dapto Connect implements a sophisticated RBAC system that allows you to define granular access policies based on user roles, departments, and individual permissions. For example, you can specify that junior analysts can only see aggregated financial data without individual details, while managers can access more detailed information with certain PII still masked. The system integrates with your existing identity providers (like Okta, Auth0, or Active Directory) and supports attribute-based access control (ABAC) for even more fine-grained permissions based on data attributes and context.
Yes, Dapto Connect is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing AI applications. It acts as a secure middleware layer between your data sources and AI models, requiring minimal changes to your current setup. We provide SDKs for popular programming languages (Python, JavaScript, Java, Go) and support all major AI models including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Vertex AI, and open-source models. Our API follows RESTful principles and includes detailed documentation and examples to make integration straightforward for your development team.
Dapto Connect provides comprehensive audit logs of all data access, detailed compliance reporting, and enforces data governance policies automatically. This helps organizations meet requirements for regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, SOC 2, and industry-specific regulations. Our platform includes pre-built compliance templates for common regulations, automated PII detection and masking, data lineage tracking, and detailed audit trails that show exactly who accessed what data, when, and how it was used with AI models. These features significantly reduce the compliance burden when using AI with sensitive data.
Dapto Shield focuses on protecting AI interactions by preventing prompt injection, jailbreaking, and harmful content generation. Dapto Connect includes all Shield capabilities but adds secure data access features, allowing AI to safely access your internal databases, documents, and APIs with proper governance. Think of Connect as Shield plus secure data integration - it not only protects the AI interaction but also enables safe access to your sensitive data sources with proper masking, access controls, and audit trails.
