The difference

GDPR-compliant is not the same as privacy-by-design.

A "GDPR-proof" tick box means little if your data ends up on American infrastructure. The server location is only half the story: the ownership and legal structure also determines who can really access it.

We design from the ground up for data minimisation and European control, not as an afterthought.

Safeguarded three ways
Infrastructure in the EU

Your solution runs on European servers (including Amsterdam and Frankfurt). Your data does not leave the EU.

Dutch law

Development and processing under Dutch jurisdiction, beyond the reach of non-European legislation such as the US Cloud Act.

Encrypted backups

Backups and databases stay within the EU, encrypted, with clear agreements on who has access to them.

The AI question

AI without giving your data away.

AI models raise the question of where your data goes. We discuss that choice up front, not afterwards. Two routes, you decide the balance:

Option AUS technology

The performance choice

ModelsClaude, Google Gemini or OpenAI
WhyThe most powerful models in the world. Strongest in complex logic, code and reasoning.
DataProcessed on American infrastructure, with enterprise privacy agreements.
Recommended forCommercial organisations where capacity comes first.
Option BEU compliance

The sovereign choice

ModelsMistral AI (France)
WhyA powerful, open model built and hosted entirely in Europe.
DataYour data does not leave the EU. Processed on European servers, under European law.
Recommended forGovernment, healthcare and legal sectors where data residency comes first.

You decide the balance, we set it out before anything goes live.

Our sovereign stack

Database

AI models
European (Mistral) or international with enterprise privacy, you choose
No AWS or Azure. We host on UpCloud, RunCloud and Laravel Cloud, with servers in the EU.

For the IT lead

So you can sleep soundly.

We are transparent about our stack and processors, outsource nothing to parties outside the GDPR, and set out which models and systems are used. No surprises, no grey area.
