GRIST x PandaSuite: Build Secure No-Code Apps with Sovereign Data

GRIST x PandaSuite: Build Secure No-Code Apps with Sovereign Data

Are you a French local authority, public administration, or government agency looking for a way to make your data accessible and interactive while maintaining security, sovereignty, and GDPR compliance?

In recent months, we’ve partnered with numerous public organizations that shared the same challenge:

“Our data is centralized in GRIST, but we want to make it dynamic, accessible, and useful for our teams and citizens… without relying on external service providers or heavy development.”

This is exactly why we created the GRIST + PandaSuite integration, to help you turn your data into interactive web or mobile applications quickly, securely, and without writing code.

What is GRIST?

GRIST is the open-source collaborative spreadsheet from The Digital Suite, developed by the French government.

  • 100% Sovereign: your data stays hosted in France, respecting GDPR and SecNumCloud-certified standards.
  • Flexible and Collaborative: organize and centralize your data in one secure platform.
  • Ideal for Local Authorities: perfect for administrations needing strict data security and digital sovereignty.
