Why Data Protection Matters in AI
Artificial intelligence can accelerate processes and unlock knowledge efficiently – but many solutions rely on external cloud providers. This creates significant risks:
- Loss of data control
- Non-transparent data processing
- Use of sensitive information for model training
With Mikis, you take a different approach:
Your data never leaves your systems.
Risks of External AI Platforms
What happens when data is uploaded to cloud-based AI systems?
- No data sovereignty: Content is processed outside your organization
- GDPR risks: Especially critical with personal or sensitive data
- Loss of control: Transmission to third parties, unclear storage, deletion processes
- Model training by providers: Many vendors use submitted data to improve their own models
- Vendor lock-in: Dependence on a single provider and their infrastructure
Mikis eliminates these risks through local data hosting, open-source components, and transparent data processing.
Mikis Architecture: Secure & Sovereign
Mikis is based on a modern RAG architecture (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). This allows your internal documents to be contextually retrieved and used – without external training and without cloud access.
Technical Features
- Local or private cloud processing
- No external data transfer at any point
- Fully compatible with your security policies and network architecture
- Support for encryption, access controls, and audit logs
Model Selection & Data Control
Mikis supports both locally hosted language models (e.g. via Ollama with Llama 3.2, Gemma 2, Phi 3) and selectively integrated cloud models (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini).
Your advantage:
- Full control over which models are used for which types of content
- Local models for sensitive data, cloud models for non-critical use cases
- All data flows remain traceable and controllable
Data Quality & Transparency
Data protection starts with the quality of your input data. Mikis offers tools for data preparation, source verification, and version control.
Benefits:
- Only approved content is used
- Source-based responses with references
- Transparent outputs for legally compliant documentation
