Build in privacy from the start

Good privacy starts with a clear task: What work should AI take over and what data does it need for that? With targeted use, you protect information and make the benefit visible to your team.

Involve your privacy and IT officers early. Legal basis, transparency, and data subject rights are part of rollout just as much as technical safeguards. The guidance of the Data Protection Conference provides a basis for this. Where high risk is likely, a data protection impact assessment is required.

Gain control over your company data

Consider a typical process: An employee asks for information from an internal manual. Login, document search, model, and storage interact. Documented data flows show where this processing takes place and who gets access.

Set retention periods, deletion processes, and access rights for documents and conversation histories. Search indexes and backups are included. With a custom LXI solution, we integrate these building blocks directly into the implementation.

Choose your location: Germany, EU, or own servers

A cloud environment in Germany or the EU offers you a targeted data location with flexibly available capacity. Your own environment enables clear access rules and processing tailored to your company.

With on-premise AI, application, models, and knowledge stay on your own servers. A hybrid solution combines internal data with cloud functions. For GDPR-compliant use, each variant includes appropriate processing, safeguards, and required agreements.

The building blocks for your secure AI use

  • Clear task: A defined use with recognizable benefit for your team.
  • Targeted data basis: The documents and information the task needs.
  • Regulated access: Roles and permissions for sources, results, and actions.
  • Transparent processing: Documented locations, data flows, and involved service providers.
  • Suitable agreements: Data processing and technical and organizational measures.
  • Controlled lifecycle: Update, deletion, export, and backup.
  • Supported rollout: Professional approval and contact for ongoing operation.

Start in practice with a pilot project

A pilot shows how your AI works in everyday life. With suitable test data, answers, access rights, and deletion processes can be tested. Your team sees the benefit and gains a clear basis for rollout.

With LXI you get development, integration, and optionally operation from a single source. Describe your use case to us. We show you the right path to your GDPR-compliant business AI.

Your own AI solution starts here.

We bring AI into your workflows: in the cloud in Germany or the EU or on your own servers.
