Where your data goes
-
Your data never leaves Europe
Everything we run for you sits on European servers. Nothing is copied to another continent, and nothing is sold to anyone.
-
Checked against the new European rules
Every audit includes a written check that what we build for you is allowed under the EU AI Act, which applies from August 2026.
-
Compliance is handled first, not last
The agreement and the compliance checklist are on the table at the first meeting, so nothing turns up later as a surprise.
We do not yet hold a third party security certification. What protects your data is everything above, and all of it is verifiable today.

- The client is named and located only with their permission, withheld here at their request. Exact figures are rounded or shown as ratios so the firm cannot be identified, and euro aggregates are converted at 48 UAH to the euro, so the measured saving of about 1.13 million UAH a year, the same as the audit's base case, is about 23,500 euro.
- Methodology and benchmarks. Margin Check figures are good-faith estimates based on conservative automation benchmarks for mid-market finance and back-office work, not a guarantee of results. Your exact numbers come from the audit. Accounts payable automation cuts per-invoice cost by roughly 80 percent, from about 12 to 18 euro down to 2 to 4, and frees 30 to 60 hours a month at 200 invoices (Peakflo; brokenrubik). Typical build 15 to 40 thousand euro, operations 2 to 4 thousand a month (SmartDev; Arsum). Higher headline figures quoted by vendors are best-case ranges, not guarantees (Lleverage; ChatFin). Around 30 to 50 percent of automation projects fail industry wide (EY). Adoption figure (Cognizant), pilot abandonment figure (Gartner), EU AI Act obligations live 2 August 2026.
