How to Use ChatGPT GDPR-Compliant and Legally Secure in Your Company – With CompanyGPT to Private GPT

Tobias Jonas Tobias Jonas | | 4 min read

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence offers companies enormous opportunities for efficiency gains and productivity optimization. At the same time, using AI systems like ChatGPT poses significant challenges for data protection. Given the strict requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the upcoming EU AI Act, it is essential for companies to rely on solutions that meet the highest security and compliance standards. Our platform is based on a fork of LibreChat and combines the latest open-source innovations with targeted extensions specifically tailored to the requirements of SMEs and corporations in Germany. Thanks to individual hosting in your Azure or STACKIT cloud, you ensure that all data is processed exclusively in the EU.

ChatGPT in the Enterprise: Potentials and Challenges

Using ChatGPT in a business context offers versatile benefits. From AI automation of internal processes to support in text creation to customer service optimization. Nevertheless, sensitive company data must be absolutely protected. Many conventional solutions, even the paid versions of ChatGPT, reach their limits here as they often don’t provide the necessary data control. Another critical aspect in the enterprise context is often the problem of shadow IT, where employees independently use public AI services like ChatGPT. This practice not only carries the risk of violating GDPR when personal data is copied or processed without authorization but also endangers the protection of trade secrets. An example from the early days of ChatGPT shows how Samsung lost some secret information that OpenAI used for training new models. With a solution operated in your own cloud instance, you can ensure that all data remains within the EU and all AI models are accessed exclusively on EU servers. Additionally, such a solution protects your trade secrets.

Private GPTs and Managed LibreChat: Security and Custom Extensions

The increasing interest in Private GPT or Enterprise GPT stems from the desire to have full control over deployed AI models. Our innFactory CompanyGPT solution is based on a fork of LibreChat but has been adapted through targeted improvements and custom feature extensions such as Confluence integration. These CompanyGPT adaptations address specific problems that are not solved in LibreChat itself. Thus, you benefit from the latest developments of the open-source community while also receiving additional features precisely tailored to company-specific requirements. As an added value, we integrate the AI workflow software n8n on request, so complex processes can be seamlessly orchestrated and the entire solution can be operated highly available and securely. We offer you a managed full-service in your cloud at a fair price, as you mainly pay for infrastructure and tokens without per-user license costs.

Managed Enterprise AI as a Strategic Success Factor

Our solution goes far beyond a mere chatbot. It enables the integration of state-of-the-art language models like GPT-4 from OpenAI and the connection of other methods, such as Claude or Gemini, and the creation of custom AI agents and prompt catalogs.

With a fully automated Continuous Deployment process, realized through GitHub and Terraform, the entire infrastructure, including Kubernetes cluster, is always kept up to date. This automated update process guarantees not only fast and reliable implementation but also regular improvements oriented to the dynamic requirements of your company. A key advantage of our solution lies in the consistent use of modern DevOps methods. Through fully automated deployment via GitHub and Terraform, the technical environment is continuously and transparently maintained. Automated updates ensure that all components always meet the latest security standards while also fulfilling the strict requirements of GDPR and the EU AI Act.
