How to Use the Power of AI 100% GDPR-Compliant and Turn Your Own Company Knowledge into a Decisive Competitive Advantage
As a CEO or decision-maker in a medium-sized company, you face a dilemma: You recognize the enormous potential of AI models like ChatGPT or Gemini for increasing efficiency. At the same time, you know that careless use of these tools poses an existential risk to your company data.
You’re probably googling “use ChatGPT GDPR compliant,” “secure AI for companies,” or wondering how to prevent employees from entering sensitive data into public AI tools.
The good news: You don’t have to choose between innovation and security. But the best solution isn’t what you might expect.
The Core Problem: Why Public AI Tools Are Off-Limits for Your Company
Direct use of ChatGPT (in the free version) or similar US-based services is high-risk for three key reasons:
- Massive GDPR Violation: Your data – and your customers’ data – is processed on US servers. Without a legally secure data processing agreement (DPA) and with the uncertain legal situation regarding data transfer to the USA (keyword: Schrems II), you risk significant fines.
- Loss of Control Over Your Know-How: In standard versions, providers reserve the right to use your inputs to train their global models. Your valuable internal knowledge, strategies, and confidential data flow into a system you cannot control.
- Missing Company Context: ChatGPT doesn’t know your internal processes, products, and documentation. The benefit remains superficial because the AI cannot access the data treasure that makes your company unique.
The “Safe” Path: Azure OpenAI – Good, but Complex
Experts rightly recommend the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service. This allows running the powerful GPT models in European data centers. Data doesn’t leave the EU, and you get a DPA with Microsoft. This is the technical foundation for GDPR-compliant use.
But for most medium-sized companies, the next hurdle arises: Implementation is a complex IT project. You need Azure expertise, must set up infrastructure, configure security, and develop a user-friendly interface for your employees.
And this is exactly where we come in.
The Best Solution for Your Company: CompanyGPT from innFactory
At innFactory, we recognized this challenge and developed the solution for German medium-sized businesses: CompanyGPT.
CompanyGPT is not another AI software, but your turnkey, private, and highly secure AI environment.
Think of it this way: We take the power and security of Azure OpenAI Service and build a solution around it that’s perfectly tailored to your company’s needs.
The 4 Decisive Advantages of CompanyGPT:
- 100% GDPR-Compliant with German Contractual Partner: You conclude a DPA directly with us, innFactory from Rosenheim. All data processing takes place on Azure servers in Germany in your own Azure account. You can’t demonstrate your compliance more easily or securely.
- Your Company Knowledge Becomes a Superbrain: This is our unique selling point. We securely connect CompanyGPT with your internal data sources: be it Confluence wiki, your SharePoint, product documentation, or your CRM. When an employee asks a question, the AI doesn’t answer with general knowledge from the internet but with precise information based on your own, current company data. A new employee asks: “What does our onboarding process for customer XY look like?” – CompanyGPT delivers the answer directly from your internal process documentation via an n8n MCP server.
- Maximum Security and Full Control: Your data is never used to train external models. It remains isolated in your private environment. You define which employees have access and which data sources the AI may access. No unwanted “shadow IT” emerges.
- Turnkey and Immediately Ready to Use: Forget months-long IT projects. We handle the entire setup, configuration, and maintenance. Your employees get access to an intuitive, chat-based interface and can be productive immediately – without training effort.
Make the Strategically Right Decision
The question is no longer whether you use AI, but how. While others are still weighing ChatGPT risks or stuck in complex Azure projects, you can start securely and value-creating immediately with CompanyGPT.
Give your employees a tool that increases their efficiency while maintaining full sovereignty over your most valuable asset: your data.
