AI benefits without
the compliance pain
Your data is yours, not fuel for tech giants.
All data stays inside your organisation, never shared with third parties
Legal certainty through full data control
Plug-and-play setup, no lengthy IT projects
Why cloud-based AI puts your data at risk
Overview of the risksCloud-based AI systems such as ChatGPT, Deepseek or Copilot promise productivity and efficiency, but they introduce significant risks as soon as confidential information is entered. Data is processed on external servers, often outside Europe, removing it entirely from the company’s control.
Even a GDPR label does not protect against the real risk: if a leak or misuse occurs, valuable corporate data falls into the wrong hands, and the damage is irreversible.
Data leaks and exposure
Once data is in the cloud, confidential content may end up in training datasets or log files.
Uncertain legal landscape
Organisations risk violating GDPR and industry-specific regulations.
Lack of transparency
How, where and for how long data is stored usually remains opaque to users.
External dependencies
Strategic corporate information ends up in the hands of global corporations.
Local AI instead of cloud dependency
The alternative pathThe alternative to cloud-based AI is operating it within your own organisation. Instead of handing data over to external providers, everything remains inside your infrastructure. Processing takes place exactly where your sensitive information originates: within your systems, under your control.
Airene is the on-premise AI solution developed by IOWIS. It delivers the benefits of modern language models while ensuring full data sovereignty. Cloud services remain black boxes, but Airene provides maximum traceability and creates a foundation that data protection officers, IT teams and executives can rely on equally.
GDPR-compliant from the start
Data protection is not an add-on, but an integral part of the system. All requirements are automatically met because no data ever leaves the organisation. No legal grey areas around data processing agreements or international data transfers.
Independent from third parties
Your data and processes are not dependent on cloud providers whose business models or security standards you cannot influence. With a local solution, you maintain full control over availability, security and future development.
Full transparency
You always know where your data is stored, how it is processed and who has access. All processes are transparently documented and can be reviewed or audited at any time.
Controlled infrastructure
All systems run within your own IT environment. You define access rights, security measures and update cycles. Your IT landscape remains consistent, transparent and fully under your control at all times.
Secure AI, running in your own infrastructure
AIRENE
Airene brings modern language models into your organisation without sending sensitive company data to external AI providers. It runs on your own infrastructure and gives teams a simple web interface for working with text, analysing documents and using AI assistants tailored to specific roles and tasks.

FAQWhat exactly is Airene and what can I use it for?
Airene is a compact AI appliance (hardware + software) that runs as an on-premise enterprise AI system directly in your environment. It lets you use modern AI capabilities such as text generation, document analysis and translation without any sensitive data leaving your organisation. As a local large language model, Airene can be flexibly adapted to your requirements.
Do I need special IT expertise to use it?
No. Airene is designed as a plug-and-play solution. You connect the appliance to your network and use the AI features via an intuitive dashboard with user management and AI personas. Our team supports you during setup.
How quickly is Airene ready for use?
Thanks to the plug-and-play concept, Airene can be set up within a few hours. The appliance is delivered with pre-installed software and can be integrated directly into your IT infrastructure so you can benefit from its AI capabilities quickly.
Do I need an internet connection?
No. Because Airene runs on-site as an offline LLM, performance depends on your internal network, not on your internet connection. You only need internet access for optional software updates. Alternatively, we offer secure offline update options.
How is Airene different from cloud-based AI offerings?
The key difference is full data sovereignty. As an air-gapped AI system, Airene runs locally in your organisation and all data remains within your internal network. No sensitive information is transmitted to external providers. This ensures GDPR compliance and full control over your data.
Is my data really secure with local processing?
Yes. That is precisely the advantage of an on-premise generative AI solution. Airene operates entirely within your organisation, your data stays on your own hardware and is not sent to external servers. This helps you meet strict data-protection requirements.
What prerequisites are required?
Airene is delivered as a turnkey package, including optimised hardware and pre-installed AI software. You only need a network connection and power supply. For integration into existing systems (for example Active Directory), we are happy to advise and support you.
Can we connect our own data?
Yes. Airene supports ingesting your own documents via the central chat interface with document uploads. Processing takes place exclusively on-premise as a private language model, so no data is exposed externally. Depending on the edition, additional modules can be added.
Do I have to provide additional training for my employees?
In most cases, a short introduction is sufficient, as Airene’s interface is very user-friendly. If required, we also offer targeted trainings and workshops so your team can make full use of Airene’s capabilities.
Is a trial version available?
Absolutely. We are happy to provide a live demo of our GDPR-compliant AI solution. If you wish, we can also offer a trial deployment so you can evaluate the benefits of the on-premise AI appliance without obligation.
What support do you provide after installation?
Our expert team is at your side not only during initial setup, but also throughout ongoing operations. This includes regular software updates, maintenance and direct consulting on individual questions and extension requests. That way, you can focus on your core business while we ensure smooth and reliable AI operations.
