The Canadian, SMB-friendly alternative to Securiti — privacy + AI governance in one
Securiti is a large-enterprise platform known for data-security posture and very broad data discovery at scale. Valdra takes a different, focused approach: Canadian privacy law and AI governance in one product, fully bilingual (fr-CA), hosted in Canada, and right-sized for SMB and mid-market — without the weight and cost of an enterprise data-discovery deployment.

Frequently asked
How is Valdra different from Securiti?
Securiti is an enterprise platform strong in data-security posture and large-scale data discovery. Valdra is focused on Canadian privacy law and AI governance in one product, fully bilingual, hosted in Canada, and right-sized for SMB and mid-market — so you get the privacy and AI-governance operations you need without an enterprise data-discovery deployment.
Does Valdra do AI governance and privacy together?
Yes — Valdra combines Canadian privacy compliance (PIPEDA, Law 25, CASL, PHIPA) with AI governance (EU AI Act classifier and obligations, ISO 42001 support, an AI system registry) in a single platform, so you do not need separate tools.
Is Valdra easier to adopt than an enterprise suite?
Yes. Valdra is self-serve — most teams run their first assessment in under an hour and connect their existing tools the same day, without a long implementation project.
Where is Valdra hosted?
Entirely in Canada (OVH, Quebec). Your data and even your connector tokens stay onshore, which matters for Law 25 and Canadian data-residency expectations.
