Bloomflow et le cabinet d'avocats OYAT lancent aujourd'hui TrustFlow : la plateforme de gouvernance IA conçue pour donner aux équipes conformité et aux directions juridiques la visibilité, la traçabilité et les outils nécessaires pour piloter leur exposition juridique et réglementaire à l'échelle de l'IA agentique.
Communiqué de presse de lancement TrustFlow, Paris, 4 juin 2026
Bloomflow et le cabinet d’avocats OYAT lancent TrustFlow, pour faire de la conformité IA un levier de confiance et de performance
La technologie IA avance plus vite que les organisations ne peuvent la gouverner. Les agents se déploient dans tous les départements sans que personne ne maîtrise vraiment leur exposition juridique. Avec l'entrée en vigueur progressive de l'EU AI Act et d'ici 2028, les grandes entreprises géreront en moyenne 150 000 agents IA déployés sur des dizaines de plateformes distinctes (Source Gartner Avril 2026). Ce n'est plus seulement une question de deadline réglementaire: c'est une question de contrôle, de responsabilité et de performance.
Bloomflow et le cabinet d'avocats OYAT lancent aujourd'hui TrustFlow : la plateforme de gouvernance IA conçue pour donner aux équipes conformité et aux directions juridiques la visibilité, la traçabilité et les outils nécessaires pour piloter leur exposition juridique et réglementaire à l'échelle de l'IA agentique.
Gouvernance IA: pourquoi les organisations ne peuvent plus gérer la conformité manuellement
Le RGPD a imposé aux entreprises de tenir un registre des traitements. En moyenne, une centaine de lignes par organisation. Les équipes s'en sont accommodées. Avec l'IA, l'échelle n'a plus rien à voir : ce ne sont plus des centaines de traitements à documenter, ce sont des dizaines, voire des centaines de milliers d'agents à répertorier. Les processus conçus pour le RGPD ne tiennent pas à cette échelle.Les directions juridiques vivent un paradoxe opérationnel. Faute d'outils efficaces de recensement et de triage, un système d’IA à faible risque reste bloqué aussi longtemps qu'un système critique, alors qu'il pourrait être validé en quelques minutes alors qu'il pourrait être validé en quelques minutes.Pendant ce temps, les agents qui mériteraient un vrai contrôle passent entre les mailles : accès à des données sensibles, décisions qui affectent des personnes, contrats qui ne prévoient rien en cas de problème. Quand quelque chose tourne mal, personne n'est en mesure de répondre.Quand un problème survient, il ne reste ni traçabilité, ni documentation, ni dossier probatoire. Les dossiers se gèrent sur Excel. Les systèmes sont souvent découverts une fois déjà en production. Et les équipes conformité sont considérées comme un frein à l'innovation, alors qu'elles en sont l'un des acteurs les plus stratégiques.Chaque plateforme agentique peut revendiquer une conformité à son échelle. Aucune ne permet de trier, prioriser, accélérer les uns et contrôler les autres, avec un registre centralisé et un suivi continu sur l'ensemble du périmètre. C'est précisément ce vide que TrustFlow comble.
TrustFlow : la colonne vertébrale de la gouvernance IA
TrustFlow est la première plateforme colonne vertébrale de la conformité IA. Elle ne se superpose pas aux processus existants : elle en devient l'infrastructure continue et le référentiel global de conformité et a été co-construite avec des grands comptes européens au plus près des besoins terrain dans le cadre de l'activité Bloomflow.TrustFlow se connecte à toutes les plateformes agentiques et systèmes IT de l'entreprise. Les agents IA peuvent directement l'interroger pour connaître leurs règles de conformité. TrustFlow détecte automatiquement les systèmes non déclarés, qualifie les risques, génère les plans de mise en conformité et maintient un registre global auditable, avec preuves horodatées et dossiers prêts au contrôle à tout moment.
Ce qui distingue TrustFlow de toute autre solution disponible :
Conformité et gestion des risques, de bout en bout. Au-delà de la conformité réglementaire, TrustFlow permet d'évaluer, anticiper et minimiser les risques en matière de responsabilité juridique, de propriété intellectuelle, de protection des données personnelles et de clauses contractuelles IA – pour que les directions juridiques disposent des éléments nécessaires pour documenter et défendre leurs décisions.IA native, pensée pour les agents. TrustFlow utilise l'IA pour automatiser ce que les équipes ne peuvent plus faire manuellement à cette échelle : qualification des risques, génération des plans de conformité, monitoring continu. C'est un produit IA qui gouverne l'IA.
Hub central de gouvernance. Là où chaque plateforme agentique ne voit que son périmètre, TrustFlow centralise la vision globale – registre, historisation, règles de conformité – pour toutes les équipes et tous les systèmes de l'entreprise.
Construit à partir de l’EU AI Act. Construit sur la logique du texte européen: quatre niveaux de risque, obligations différenciées par rôle et par secteur. Bibliothèque d'exigences maintenue à jour par OYAT, cabinet d’avocats spécialisé – EU AI Act, RGPD, standards sectoriels. Les équipes conformité n'ont plus à gérer la veille règlementaire.
Souveraineté européenne garantie. Architecture single-tenant, hébergement en Europe, certifications ISO 27001 et ISO 27701, déploiement possible en environnement souverain certifié SecNumCloud.
Opérationnel en huit semaines. TrustFlow vient avec les ingénieurs, les intégrations et l'accompagnement pour que le système soit opérationnel – pas seulement installé. Ce n'est pas un logiciel. C'est le déploiement d'une gouvernance.

"Beaucoup lisent l'EU AI Act comme une contrainte. Je le lis comme le premier vrai cadre sur lequel on peut construire. TrustFlow, c'est une plateforme qui innove, qui utilise l'IA pour gouverner l'IA et s'intègre nativement à toutes les plateformes agentiques. Et en plus, elle est construite en Europe, sur le droit européen. C'est l'infrastructure sur laquelle les entreprises européennes peuvent enfin construire." Thomas Girard, CEO et cofondateur, Bloomflow
"TrustFlow répond à un double enjeu : assurer la conformité réglementaire, et maîtriser les risques juridiques que l'IA génère au-delà de ce seul périmètre. C'est, pour les directions juridiques et conformité, le premier outil réellement à la hauteur d'une technologie dont le déploiement a précédé toutes les capacités de gouvernance existantes ».

Press Release - TrustFlow Launch - Paris, June 4th, 2026
Bloomflow and OYAT launch TrustFlow, making AI compliance a catalyst for trust and performance
AI technology is advancing faster than organisations can govern it. AI agents are being deployed across every department, often without anyone having a clear view of the legal risks they create. With the progressive implementation of the EU AI Act and the rise of Agentic AI, large organisations are expected to manage an average of 150,000 AI agents across dozens of platforms by 2028 (Source: Gartner, April 2026). This is no longer simply a matter of regulatory deadlines, it is a question of control, accountability and performance.Today, Bloomflow and law firm OYAT are launching TrustFlow: an AI governance platform designed to give compliance teams and legal departments the visibility, traceability and tools they need to manage legal and regulatory exposure at the scale of Agentic AI.
AI Governance: Why Organisations Can No Longer Manage Compliance Manually
The GDPR has required organisations to maintain records of processing activities. For most organisations, that means managing a few hundred entries. Teams adapted accordingly.AI changes the picture entirely. Instead of documenting hundreds of processes, organisations now face the prospect of cataloguing tens, or even hundreds of thousands, of AI agents. Governance processes designed for GDPR compliance simply do not scale to this new reality.Legal departments are facing an operational paradox. Without effective discovery and triage tools, a low-risk AI system can remain stuck in review for just as long as a critical one, even though it could be approved in a matter of minutes.Meanwhile, the systems that genuinely require scrutiny often go unnoticed: access to sensitive data, decisions that affect individuals, contracts that provide little protection should something go wrong. When incidents occur, no one is able to provide clear answers.When problems arise, there is often no traceability, no documentation and no defensible audit trail. Compliance records live in spreadsheets. Systems are frequently discovered only after they are already in production. Compliance teams are too often perceived as obstacles to innovation, when in reality they should be among its most strategic enablers.Every Agentic AI platform can claim compliance within its own environment. None can provide a centralised register, prioritise reviews, accelerate low-risk approvals, monitor higher-risk systems and maintain continuous oversight across the entire AI landscape. TrustFlow was built to fill that gap.
TrustFlow: The Backbone of AI Governance
TrustFlow is the first platform designed to serve as the backbone of AI compliance. Rather than sitting on top of existing processes, it becomes the continuous governance infrastructure and central compliance system of record. It has been co-developed with leading European organisations through Bloomflow’s work in the field and is built around real-world operational needs.TrustFlow connects to every Agentic AI platform and enterprise IT system. AI agents can directly query the platform to understand the compliance requirements that apply to them. TrustFlow automatically identifies undeclared systems, assesses risk, generates remediation plans and maintains a fully auditable compliance register complete with timestamped evidence and inspection-ready records at any time.
What Sets TrustFlow Apart :
End-to-end compliance and risk management. Beyond regulatory compliance, TrustFlow enables organisations to assess, anticipate and mitigate risks relating to legal liability, intellectual property, personal data protection and AI-related contractual provisions. Legal departments are equipped with the information they need to document and defend their decisions with confidence.
AI-native and built for agents. TrustFlow uses AI to automate what teams can no longer manage manually at this scale: risk assessment, compliance plan generation and continuous monitoring. It is an AI product designed to govern AI.
A central governance hub. Where each Agentic AI platform sees only its own environment, TrustFlow provides a centralised view across the organisation, bringing together compliance registers, audit trails and governance rules for every team and every system.
Built around the EU AI Act. TrustFlow is built on the foundations of the European regulation itself: four risk categories and obligations tailored to specific roles and sectors. Its compliance library is continuously maintained by OYAT, a specialist law firm, covering the EU AI Act, GDPR and sector-specific standards. Compliance teams no longer need to spend time tracking regulatory developments.
European sovereignty by design. Single-tenant architecture, hosting in Europe, ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certification, and the option to deploy within sovereign cloud environments certified under SecNumCloud requirements.
Fully operational within eight weeks. TrustFlow comes with the engineers, integrations and support required to make the system operational, not merely installed. This is not simply software deployment; it is the implementation of AI governance.
Quotes:
“Many people see the EU AI Act as a constraint. I see it as the first genuine framework on which organisations can build. TrustFlow is a platform that innovates, uses AI to govern AI, and integrates natively with every Agentic AI platform. Most importantly, it is built in Europe, on European law. It is the infrastructure on which European organisations can finally build.” Thomas Girard, CEO & Co-Founder, Bloomflow
“TrustFlow addresses a dual challenge: ensuring regulatory compliance while managing the legal risks created by AI beyond the scope of regulation alone. For legal and compliance teams, it is the first tool truly capable of matching the scale of a technology whose deployment has far outpaced existing governance capabilities.” Marie-Hélène Tonnellier and Stéphanie Lapeyre-Castellane, Partners, OYAT

In its 10th edition, Hub Berlin drew over 5,000 attendees including entrepreneurs, C-level executives, investors, and technology enthusiasts, who were brought together to discuss the digital future throughout this two day event.
Among the many great ideas presented by the exhibitors, some of them particularly caught our attention:
The brand shared its commitment to the circular economy and recycling initiatives and shared examples of resource reuse. One of these allows smartphone owners to look for old cell phones at home and to bring them to the Telekom Magenta shop. The repurchase value of the returned cell phones is donated and has enabled the planting of approximately 4000 trees in 2022 alone.
Hub Berlin is renowned for its innovation and creativity with a significant portion of the event dedicated to digital art. Yamaha’s experimentation was one of the elements and our team had an interesting opportunity to participate in an installation that captured the essence of Kando.
Kando is a Japanese word for simultaneous feelings of deep satisfaction and intense excitement that are experienced when we encounter something of exceptional value. The installation was a game that allowed two players to experience Kando at the same time, through non-verbal and intuitive communication between each other.

Established in 2018, Neue Fische has been at the forefront of training career changers through short-format boot camps, equipping them with the skills needed in the IT industry and connecting with exciting employers. It also helps identify talent within the existing workforce in order to further qualify them for IT professions with a future.
We attended a roundtable discussion on the competitive advantage of AI for enterprises. Featuring perspectives from corporates, politicians, and scale-ups, the roundtable highlighted that Europe has the data to be strong player in this field provided these players can effectively collaborate together. The AI revolution will continue to impact markets and corporations across sectors are keen to explore how it can be used to their advantage. Hence the need for more collaboration with tech ecosystems.
The discussion featured Christine Wang from Lufthansa Innovation Hub, Anna Christmann for the Digital Economy and Startups at Bundestag, and Christopher Kränzler from Lengoo.
At the event, we had the pleasure of witnessing the profound impact of the Bloomflow platform in driving innovation to the market. As a company dedicated to fostering innovation ecosystems, we gained valuable insights into the challenges faced by German innovators.
It was inspiring to see how our platform plays a role in bringing innovation to the market as well as collaborating IRL with several German companies and corporate innovators such as Hella and BASF. This experience furthered our understanding of their needs and allowed us to forge partnerships with industry leaders, expanding our network and sharing knowledge.
Hub Berlin's location added to the excitement of the event. It took place in an unconventional setting that combined art, yoga, a biergarten, and even a nightclub creating an overall vibrant atmosphere for participants to network. This unique combination of elements is typical for a tech conference in Berlin as it conveys the city’s spirit.
Being physically present in our strategic markets is a top priority for us, and this event provided a great opportunity to do so. We had the privilege of meeting current customers, partners, and key stakeholders in the German innovation field, including organizations like the Fraunhofer Institute and SAP. These interactions hold potential for exciting innovation opportunities, fueling our commitment to making a lasting impact in the market.

In the ever-evolving digital and tech worlds, enterprises are frequently confronted with security threats that put the organisation's privacy and information at risk.
As a company driven by innovation, we acknowledge the critical role of data security in providing our clients with a trusted environment where they can explore new opportunities and transformative solutions. Therefore, our aspiration is to achieve nothing less than excellence with full accountability for upholding the highest security standards for both ourselves and our clients.
With this commitment in mind, we are pleased to announce that Bloomflow has obtained ISO 27001 and 27701 certifications!
These accredited certifications are globally acknowledged as the benchmark for information security and privacy management systems, serving as a testament to a company's commitment to best practices, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.
ISO 27001 focuses on the implementation and maintenance of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), while ISO 27701 extends it to include requirements for a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS).
In practical terms, these certifications confirm that Bloomflow adheres to best practices, industry standards, and regulatory requirements by implementing optimal security and guarantee:
Obtaining ISO certifications is challenging as it assesses security protocols, risk management practices, data protection measures, and regulation compliance of a company. This lengthy process involves an independent certification body to conduct a comprehensive audit of all systems and processes. We choose to do this in the most complete way possible, by certifying the entire company (not only our product) and by choosing of the most serious certification bodies, International Organization for Standardization, AFNOR.
We understand that a reliable environment is at the foundation of successful innovation. These certifications are a confirmation that our clients data is protected to the highest privacy and security standards:
Looking ahead, Bloomflow is committed to maintaining its trajectory of secure innovation and raising the bar even higher. With the attainment of ISO 27001 and 27701 certifications, we have laid a solid foundation for data security and privacy management.
To ensure ongoing excellence, external auditors will conduct annual evaluations of our management system, while a comprehensive audit will be undertaken every three years. This marks just the beginning of our journey.
We remain committed to fostering innovation, including advancements in AI, while prioritising the privacy of our customers' data. Visit our Trust Center for more information.
Let Bloomflow focus on security while you innovate with confidence!

Transparency is key to a thriving innovation culture. We’re introducing new features with roles and permissions. Share portfolios securely with the right teams at the click of a button.
Create and manage groups that reflect how teams are structured in your organization. Whether they’re based on departments, regions, or temporary initiatives, you have the flexibility to manage users in the way that suits you best.
Groups can be private or public so you can allow users to join the innovation communities that suit them best, or implement a governance that keeps information secure.

Now you can grant access to specific areas in your portfolios with permissions ranging from view-only to contributor or creator, and administrator (can grant access to others).
For example, you can keep IT projects viewable to all users, but keep editing permission only for the IT team.

Need to temporarily invite a colleague to participate on a project or relationship in your portfolio? Simply navigate to the item you’d like to share and grant them the appropriate level of access.

Innovation is a process that happen throughout an organization. So to support your teams' efforts, Bloomflow's new features allow you to confidently add data and manage who can view or edit it.
Team leaders and admins can use these new tools to keep information running smoothly and safely in Bloomflow no matter how large.

Innovation is the lifeblood of organizations, driving growth and competitive advantage. To harness the creative potential of employees and stakeholders, idea management plays a crucial role.
Idea management encompasses three essential steps: collection, processing, and implementation.
During the collection phase, ideas are generated and gathered from various sources. These can be internal sources such as employees, or external sources such as customers, or startups and innovators.
The processing phase involves qualifying, refining, and shortlisting ideas. This ensures the most promising ones move forward that fit with your goals.
Last but not least, the implementation phase turns selected ideas into projects that can generate tangible outcomes.
Most use cases for idea management revolve around the concept of "challenges." A challenge is a targeted campaign designed to collect ideas over a specific period. Although a continuous idea management can be a valuable use case for many organizations, setting a limited time period can increase engagement by creating an incentive.
Challenges typically comprise of five steps:
The most common pitfall of idea management is the “idea sandbox syndrome.” This occurs when ideas accumulate without concrete follow-up or implementation. Besides the obvious lack of generating a tangible result for the challenge organizer, this can also decrease employee engagement.
This is why choosing the right tool is key to being able to run idea challenges and bring them to implementation.
Being able to run idea challenges requires software that allows for the collection and sorting of submissions. However, when selecting any new software, organizations face three key challenges:
To address these challenges, an integrated approach leveraging existing tools proves beneficial. Integration with familiar communication tools such as Microsoft Teams, Yammer, Workplace from Facebook, or Slack enhances engagement and user adoption. However, being able to take ideas all the way to the implementation phase is crucial, which is why many organizations consider their idea management needs in context of their full innovation management needs.
The market for idea management tools has shifted from only idea management to end-to-end innovation management as it is a fundamental component of a fuller process.
An end-to-end innovation management platform can provide benefits beyond just gathering ideas because the ideas generated during an idea challenge can be connected to features that enable implementation. For example, you can directly launch and track projects in the same platform. Or, leverage qualified solutions from existing partnerships to bring the idea to life.
Idea management is an indispensable component of the innovation management process. To overcome the "idea sandbox syndrome," where numerous ideas accumulate without concrete follow-up, organizations need functional tools.
Idea management solutions should provide the necessary support to transform ideas into actionable projects, enabling organizations to unlock their innovation potential. By implementing best practices, such as running challenges and incentivizing participation, organizations can maximize the value derived from their idea management initiatives. With the right approach and tools in place, organizations can drive innovation, propel growth, and stay ahead in today's competitive landscape.
