Data Security at ExB? A Matter of Honor.

Anyone who works with sensitive data and documents on a daily basis knows: data security is essential. And this also applies when it comes to new or existing processes being automated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). As an established provider of Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), you can rely 100% on ExB — and we’ll tell you why. With full transparency.

What is this article about?
We’ll take you behind the scenes at ExB and transparently show you what we do to fully protect your data at all times and how we handle the topic of data security internally — from technical infrastructure and access control to data deletion at the end of a project. You’ll learn:

  • Where and how your data is stored

  • Which security mechanisms are in place day to day

  • How you stay in control at all times

  • And what ExB does differently — on purpose — when it comes to data protection

In short: if you’re looking for an AI solution that’s just as powerful as it is secure, you’ll like ExB.

Hosting in the EU – According to the Highest Security Standards

All of ExB’s services are hosted by certified providers within the EU. This ensures not only compliance with the strict requirements of the EU GDPR but also transparency and trust. Upon request, we also offer product distribution exclusively within Germany, for particularly regulated industries, for example. This is made possible by our highly flexible infrastructure — although functional limitations cannot be ruled out in such cases.

Our hosting partners:

  • ISO 27001
  • TISAX

🔍 In a Nutshell: What Does This Mean for You?

ISO 27001 – Your Benefits:

Protection against data loss, hacking, and system failures – Clear processes and responsibilities – documented and audited – Security is not a one-time state but a system with regular audits

TISAX – Because Your Industry Demands It:

  • Specifically developed for the high standards of the automotive industry

  • Protection of prototypes, development data, and IP

  • Now mandatory for partnerships with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers

Cloud Security with End-to-End Encryption

We work exclusively with cloud providers certified to international security standards — and rely on end-to-end encryption and clear separation of customer data. Your data is protected at all times from unauthorized access.

Our cloud security measures include:

  • End-to-end encryption

  • Logical separation between customer systems

  • No third-party access – only authorized ExB personnel within the project context

Access Control: Only Those Who Should, Can!

Protecting your data starts with the basics — and ends with operational excellence: our employees use two-factor authentication for critical systems. Separate environments for development, testing, and production systems ensure clear security boundaries.

And what’s most important for you:
You stay in control at all times. Upon request, we will delete your data completely — at any time and in a traceable manner.

We rely on proven encryption methods, as recommended by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). This applies to data transfers over public networks as well as to cloud storage. This ensures:

No eavesdropping. No unauthorized access. Your data stays yours.

 

Inspired by BSI: How ExB Already Lives IT Baseline Protection++

The BSI (Federal Office for Information Security) is advancing the next level of digital security standards with its new “IT Baseline Protection++” concept — focusing on automation, measurable security, and real-world applicability. At ExB, this is already the standard.

Our processes are structured so that security is not just “part of the process,” but is verifiably documented, automatically monitored, and clearly measurable.

✔️ Automated encryption & access controls
✔️ Documented availabilities, update cycles & access levels
✔️ Hosting in certified EU clouds with ISO 27001, TISAX, SOC 2
✔️ Annual penetration testing and internal audits

This means we already meet many of the requirements introduced under IT Baseline Protection++ — and offer our clients exactly the level of security transparency the market demands.

Data Lifecycle: What Happens to the Data After a Project?

Whether processing, storage, or deletion — at ExB, every step is documented and tailored to the specific project. After project completion or termination, your data is reliably and contractually deleted. Regardless of this, you can inform us at any time if you want your provided data deleted.

Our promises:

  • No unnecessary data retention

  • Clear deletion routines after project completion

  • Full transparency for our clients

Data Use & Data Protection: No Training Material for Third-Party AI

At ExB, we follow a clear principle: your data is used exclusively for processing within the scope of your project. It is never used to train models from third-party providers. This is contractually regulated, technically secured, and a matter of trust for us.

Especially sensitive data? We treat it with special care.
Right from the project start, all data is classified. Based on legal requirements and individual customer needs, we implement targeted measures — from access protection and separation of sensitive data to secure deletion.

Security Management: Proactive, Not Reactive

We perform security updates regularly — proactively every week, and immediately when necessary. Additionally, we conduct annual penetration tests on our systems to identify and resolve vulnerabilities early.

And in case of emergency?
Clearly defined processes take effect — including prompt notification of affected customers and authorities in accordance with applicable regulations.

What Sets Us Apart – Your Advantage with ExB

In a market full of promises, the difference is in the details. At ExB, data security is not an add-on — it’s a core component of every solution. Our customers benefit from:

  • Data processing strictly within the EU — upon request, exclusively in Germany 

  • Certifications according to ISO 27001 and TISAX 

  • Explicit exclusion of any data usage for training external AI models 

  • Full data access and control by you as the client

Predictive analytics: Using data to see into the future

Data can tell us what happened. But what's coming next is much more exciting. That's exactly what predictive analytics does: instead of relying on retrospectives, intelligent models provide a look ahead – data-based, precise, actionable. Companies in logistics, purchasing or production not only gain speed, but also decision-making confidence: what waves of demand are coming my way? Where are bottlenecks likely to occur? When is the best time to act? The future cannot be planned. But with predictive analytics, it can be prepared for much better.

AI
Data Capture

Data accumulations are growing exponentially and it is becoming increasingly important for companies to collect and analyze information from data effectively. In short: “Data is the lubricant of digitalization” (Albert Sachs). Data capture is of central importance in this context. By using advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, companies can gain valuable insights with the help of data capture systems. These make it possible to understand customer behavior, increase productivity and make well-founded decisions.

Process automation
Unstructured Data

Data plays a fundamental role in today's business world, which is why a comprehensive understanding of data is more important than ever in the age of digital transformation. A basic distinction can be made between three main types of data: structured, semi-structured (semistructured) and unstructured data. This article will focus on the latter type of data: As a pioneer in AI-based data processing of unstructured formats, we have summarised everything you need to know about this topic.
