DTACT is a scaleup software company from the Netherlands with strong roots in the Cyber, Military and Intelligence domains. Our extraordinary team developed an agnostic and open technology platform to seamlessly manage data, systems or infrastructure fusion, discovery, AI automation and actions.
This tailored modular and agnostic capability for critical Defense, Cyber and National Security organizations without a need for heavy professional services from DTACT to implement and maintain our solution simply did not exist until today.
Our innovative technology is often compared with the search engine invention. Meaning, we provide a search engine for all enterprise or organizational data without having to build a data lake or data warehouse first. On top, we expanded our federated search capabilities with an ability to drive impact instantly.
Our purpose is to pioneer and provide a new industry standard to manage data
integrity, confidentiality and full transparency on how these data are used to make critical decisions.
Our mission is to empower organizations with unparalleled data management solutions
At DTACT, we're more than just a group of data engineers; we're architects of insight unleashing the full potential of information to drive innovation, efficiency, faster decision-making and impact in an open and transparent manner. With precision, integrity, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, we pave the way for a data-driven future.
We go for transformative impact by minimizing barriers
with low code / no-code requirements. Our 'Human-in-the-loop' approach ensures that human expertise complements machine intelligence where needed. Our innovative approach slashes costs, offering traditional data lake creation at half the expense traditionally incurred. With DTACT, the future of data management is not only efficient but also accessible and instantly usable.
Our people, our super humans
Our belief in people has uniquely built our business and team by recognizing neurodiversity as part of our DNA. We proclaim that neurodiversity simply adds more creativity and different (richer) perspectives on problem solving. At least half of our team can be called neurodiverse and we are strong ambassadors to convince the rest of the world and businesses to incorporate these, often times, underestimated super skill sets.
DTACT's Leadership Team
DTACT's leadership team combines military, cyber security, and intelligence expertise, drawing from backgrounds at the Dutch Armed Forces, Palantir, Miro, and multiple successful start-ups. With seasoned veterans from both large corporations and agile scale-ups, they bring diverse perspectives and deep industry knowledge. Together, they drive DTACT's mission of delivering innovative solutions in data management and security.
Compliance
DTACT is committed to data privacy and security and implemented an Information Security Management System (ISMS) in compliance with the ISO 27001 norm. Our ISMS supports the design, development, deployment, maintenance, licensing, and management of our data management software platform and is extended to include information assets that support business operations containing IT infrastructure, databases, applications, and related services. The ISMS includes our cloud based infrastructure hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS).
