Home / Why Maya
The missing layer for enterprise AI

You've already bought AI. What you can't buy is permission to use your most sensitive data with it.

Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic and Google sell you the models. None of them can make your customers, contracts, pricing and operations safe to use with AI. Maya is that permission layer.

Where Maya sits

Not another AI app. The layer underneath every AI app.

Maya is not a chatbot, an LLM, a model provider or an AI workspace. It is the infrastructure that makes enterprise data safe enough to use with all of them.

01 Why you need it

The data that creates the most value is the data you can't safely use

Three forces are converging at once — and together they turn your best data from an asset into a liability the moment AI touches it.

The result is a bottleneck every enterprise feels: AI projects held back by data restrictions can finally move forward — that is the outcome Maya delivers.

The operating principle

Not all data should take the same path

Internal AI can use most of your data. External AI should narrow as sensitivity rises. Maya turns that principle into an operational control — classifying and routing data so the right information reaches the right model, and nothing more.

Not another AI app

AI applications help people use AI. Maya helps AI use your intelligence.

Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Glean — they put AI in your team's hands. They take AI up to your data and stop where the risk begins. Maya carries it the rest of the way.

02 Why Maya's different

Others solve one layer. Maya has all five in one.

Alone, each control is common. Together, in a single layer, they become the difference — and each turns into a business outcome, not a feature.

01
🔄

Prompt-level anonymization + re-identification

Sensitive elements are tokenized before transit and mapped back for authorized users.

 AI you can trust with real prompts, without real data ever leaving.
02
🧩

Cross-system consistency

The same entity resolves to the same token across SAP, Oracle, files and prompts.

 AI reasons across your whole business, not one disconnected tool at a time.
03
🗑️

Zero data storage

AISafe retains nothing. There is no repository of your data to breach or hand over.

 No sensitive-data repository to secure, audit, or explain to regulators.
04
🇲🇪

EU-native + air-gapped deployment

Deploy in your cloud, on-prem, or fully air-gapped for sovereign environments.

 AI adoption becomes possible even where cloud AI is not allowed.
05
📜

Granted patents (EPO + USPTO)

Patents protect Maya's Data Safe AI Transformations (DSAIT) — the core technology.

 The hard part is already built and proven, so you don't have to build it.

The empty quadrant

Map any competitor against all five and the overlap is empty. Almost nobody can claim every one.

 The missing layer between your enterprise data and your AI strategy.
Not just private infrastructure

Private AI controls where AI runs. Maya controls how your intelligence is used.

Self-hosted Llama, Azure OpenAI private, Prem AI — they keep the model in your walls. They do nothing about what it's allowed to know once your data is in the prompt.

Private AIMaya
Enables selective AI access
Creates auditability
Controls external exposure
Preserves cross-system relationships
Makes proprietary intelligence usable
Keeps models, inference & infrastructure private
Private AI keeps the box private. Maya governs what’s inside it — and still anonymizes your raw data at source before any model sees it.

Private AI protects infrastructure. Maya protects enterprise advantage.

Why not the tool you already have?

Copilot, Langdock, DLP and governance solve a different problem

Copilot gives productivity. Langdock gives AI access. DLP gives blocking. Governance gives policy. Maya gives AI-safe access to the business knowledge those tools cannot safely use raw.

Not an AI chat platform

Maya sits alongside the models you already use — it doesn't ask you to adopt yet another chat app.

×

Not just DLP

DLP detects and stops. Maya transforms — so the use case proceeds safely instead of being cut off.

×

Not a governance dashboard

Governance describes policy — OneTrust, Purview, Immuta and IBM watsonx tell you who should access what and keep the evidence you should retain. Maya is the technology that acts on it: it enforces the control, applies the anonymization, routes the data, selects the model and records the outcome — at the one moment that matters, when data meets a model. Governance tells you what should happen; Maya makes it happen.

The control model

Three layers of control

Governance describes these. Maya operationalizes them — enforced at the moment data meets a model.

🗃️

Data controls

Classification, minimization, anonymization, access boundaries and retention logic.

🧰

Model controls

Approved model lists, capability routing, version awareness and fallback paths.

Outcome controls

Output validation, human review, escalation, evidence and continuous improvement.

A win for every stakeholder

One layer. A different reason to buy for every decision-maker.

The same platform answers the question each stakeholder is actually asking — in their own language.

03 Why act now

Waiting is not neutral. The cost compounds on two sides at once.

Every month you delay, employees keep using unsanctioned AI while your regulated data stays off-limits to approved projects. That is a double loss — one you pay for in exposure and in missed advantage.

👁

Uncontrolled usage rises

  • Staff keep pasting real customer and contract data into consumer AI.
  • You can't see it, log it, or govern it.
  • Sensitive information leaves the organization uncontrolled.
🔒

High-value AI stays on hold

  • Approved initiatives stall in security and privacy review.
  • Your most valuable data stays unavailable to AI.
  • AI keeps running on public information everyone else has too.
There is also a clock. EU AI Act transparency obligations (Article 50) are approaching, and every quarter of delay adds migration and build complexity later. Establishing the privacy layer early is what lets you scale AI faster and more safely than competitors who wait.
Security & proof

Trust, engineered in — and independently attested

Maya is a European privacy-engineering company built for regulated industries from the ground up. Privacy is designed into the architecture, not bolted on afterwards.

  • ISO 27001 & SOC 2 — independently attested security and confidentiality controls.
  • EPO + USPTO patents — for Data Safe AI Transformations (DSAIT).
  • Production, not pilots — live across Norway, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Ireland.
  • Zero data storage — nothing retained, nothing to disclose.

Questions buyers ask

The questions that decide the evaluation

Strategy
Why not simply use ChatGPT Enterprise, Copilot or Claude Enterprise?
Those are AI applications; Maya is AI infrastructure. They help users interact with AI. Maya ensures sensitive information is anonymized before it leaves your organization, keeps data under enterprise control, and avoids dependence on a single vendor. The two are complementary, not competitive — many customers run Maya underneath them.
Can Maya help us use data that is currently off-limits to AI?
Yes — this is one of Maya's strongest use cases. Customer records, healthcare data, financial information and employee data that cannot be used today become AI-ready while privacy controls are maintained.
Does Maya support agentic AI?
Yes. As organizations move from AI chat to AI agents, the volume of sensitive information accessed rises sharply. Maya's data minimization, anonymization and controlled re-identification become even more important in agentic environments.
Technology & security
Does Maya store our prompts or data?
No. Zero data storage is a core differentiator. Sensitive information is transformed in real time without permanent storage of your data — so there is no repository to secure, audit, or explain to regulators.
Can we deploy on-premises or air-gapped?
Yes — on-premises, private cloud, hybrid or fully air-gapped. This makes AI adoption possible even where cloud-based AI is not permitted: government, defense, healthcare, financial services and critical infrastructure.
Will Maya reduce AI quality?
No. Maya preserves business context while removing identifying information. The objective is to protect privacy and preserve utility — teams keep receiving useful AI outputs without exposing sensitive data.
Does Maya create vendor lock-in?
The opposite. Maya is model-agnostic, so you can switch or mix providers — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, open-source or private models — while keeping your policies, integrations, privacy controls and audit trails intact.
Value & ROI
Why spend on Maya instead of simply buying more Copilot or ChatGPT licences?
AI licences increase access to AI. Maya increases the amount of enterprise data that can safely be used with AI. Without it, employees have AI but enterprise data stays restricted; with it, that data becomes usable and projects scale faster — so Maya raises the value of every licence you already own.
Why not build this ourselves?
Most organizations underestimate the complexity of cross-system anonymization, referential integrity, controlled re-identification and AI-safe transformation across SAP, Oracle, files and prompts. Building and maintaining it internally typically costs far more than deploying a proven, patent-protected platform.
