Hosting for the CNIL PIA software

The CNIL PIA software can be used on its own or deployed on a server. PIA GDPR offers hosting and support plans for organizations that want browser access and, depending on the plan, a shared workspace for multiple users.

Choose between individual use and a hosted server

Free access is suited to individual use: data is stored locally in the browser and is not synchronized between colleagues. Standard and Advanced plans provide a shared or dedicated server for client/server access. A dedicated server reserves its resources for one site; a shared server divides its resources among several sites.

What hosted plans include

• Browser access to the PIA tool and automatic updates, depending on the plan.
• Daily backups, with details varying by plan.
• Multi-user features with roles and profiles on eligible plans.
• A shared or dedicated server, depending on your needs.

Plan features, limits and terms should be confirmed in the applicable offer and contract documents. An HDS option can be discussed as part of a custom solution; it is not included by default in every plan.

Hosted PIA or installation on your own infrastructure?

The CNIL documents installation of the server version of the tool, which can run on a suitable server. An internal deployment may suit an organization that wants to manage its own infrastructure. A PIA GDPR plan is for organizations that prefer to entrust hosting and support to a provider.
