A more defensible process

Four questions every sensitive
file exchange should answer.

The practical GDPR risk is often not the transfer itself, but the organisation’s ability to explain and evidence what happened afterwards.

Who?

Was access limited to the intended, named recipient?

ACCESS CONTROL
What?

Which file was shared, opened, downloaded or forwarded?

TRACEABILITY
When?

Can the organisation evidence the timeline of activity?

ACCOUNTABILITY
Why?

Were the controls proportionate to the sensitivity of the data?

GOVERNANCE
Principle by principle

The regulation on the left.
The mechanism on the right.

GDPR places obligations on the organisation, not on a software platform alone. My MX Data provides practical controls and evidence that can support the principles your DPO, clients and auditors are likely to examine.

ART. 5(1)(c)Data minimisation

Files exist to be delivered, not hoarded. MX removes them after the exchange and enforces expiry dates and download limits, so personal data is held only as long as necessary.

ART. 5(1)(f)Integrity & confidentiality

Every transfer is anonymised, sharded and restored only for its named recipient, layered on AES-256, via the quantum secure patented methodology. There are no public links to leak.

ART. 5(2)Accountability

Time-stamped activity records show who accessed a file, when access occurred and what actions were taken, helping your organisation provide clearer evidence of accountability.

ART. 32Security of processing

Multi-factor authentication, recipient-level permissions and regional hosting options put technical and organisational measures where the regulation expects to find them.

ART. 33Breach notification, 72 hours

Exportable activity records help identify affected files, recipients and timelines, giving compliance teams a clearer starting point when assessing a potential incident.

ART. 15Right of access

Unlimited file sizes and exportable activity records simplify subject access requests: gather, evidence and deliver without wrestling upload caps or fragmented histories.

MX facilitates GDPR compliance; it does not guarantee it. No honest platform can, because responsibility ultimately sits with how your organisation manages policies, retention and people. What MX provides is the technical foundation and the evidence.

Article 33, without the panic

72 hours is plenty,
when the log already knows.

Where a personal-data breach is notifiable, GDPR sets a 72-hour reporting window from the point the organisation becomes aware of it. My MX Data supports investigation by keeping file, recipient and activity information together in a clear, exportable record.

Identify in minutes

Query the audit trail for any file, user or window and see exactly what was touched.

Export in one click

Export activity records in a structured format to support internal assessment and regulatory reporting.

Contain by design

No public links and named-only access mean the blast radius is small before you even start.

Nine controls, one workflow

Practical controls for a more
defensible sharing process.

Explore the controls that help organisations manage access, trace activity and reduce reliance on public links or informal file-sharing workarounds.

Quantum secure methodology

The patented ASR methodology works alongside AES-256 encryption to add another layer of protection to sensitive file exchanges.

Recipient-specific access

Only named individuals can open a file, and every download, view or open is logged for accountability.

Governance-focused architecture

Encryption, permissions and traceable logs work together, built to support data protection obligations.

Real-time activity logs

Live visibility of uploads, downloads and access points as they happen. Transparency, front and centre.

No file size restrictions

Large datasets and archives move without caps, simplifying subject access requests and reporting.

Secure upload portals

Collect personal data through branded, encrypted intake, protected from the moment of upload.

Access & IP monitoring

Every interaction is logged with IP tracking, supporting audits and demonstrating due diligence.

Multi-factor authentication

A second check at login strengthens user verification wherever personal data is handled.

No public file links

Open sharing links are blocked outright, so personal data is seen only by those explicitly granted access.

Compliance, facilitated

The paperwork behind the promises.

Badge by badge: the certifications, alignments and controls your reviewers will ask about. MX facilitates compliance rather than claiming to guarantee it, and the documentation stands ready for your next security questionnaire.

who read the regulation.

GDPR used to mean endless paperwork and after-the-fact checking. MX built compliance into the workflow itself. Permissions are clear, audit logs are automatic and evidence is there when regulators ask for it. It's cut the time we spend preparing for audits in half and the anxiety levels have dropped with it.

Compliance was once a patchwork of policies and manual checks. MX changed that by embedding GDPR requirements into the workflow. Now every transfer has an audit trail and we don't spend nights worrying about gaps.
PS

GDPR worried us constantly until MX. The platform's structure aligns with requirements automatically, which removed hours of manual checking. Audit trails are clean and we can finally answer compliance questions without scrambling.

Sophie W.GDPR & Compliance Consultant
For years we were cobbling together manual processes to satisfy GDPR checks. MX stripped away that nonsense. Permissions are clear, audit trails are immediate and we don't have to explain gaps to auditors anymore. It has made compliance less of a looming fear and more of a standard practice.

No, and be wary of any platform that says otherwise. MX facilitates GDPR compliance with strict access controls, end-to-end encryption, EU storage options for shard distribution and complete audit trails, but responsibility ultimately lies with how your organisation manages policies, retention and user practices. With around 30% of European businesses still non-compliant, MX provides an effective technical foundation. Details in Features.
Three ways. Identity over links: mainstream services rely on public links, while MX enforces named-user transfers that only the intended recipient can decrypt. Exchange over storage: MX removes files after delivery, so sensitive material does not linger online. Proven auditability: every exchange lands in an detailed log. Compare in Dropbox vs MX or WeTransfer vs MX.
Yes, through risk reduction. Unauthorised access and mishandling are two common fine triggers, and MX addresses both with the quantum secure patented methodology, tight access control and recorded exchanges. With GDPR fines now exceeding EUR 5.88 billion since 2018, measurable evidence of due diligence also helps mitigate penalties if an incident does occur. See our Case Studies.
Two mechanisms. Evidence of control: detailed logs show who accessed what, when and from where, a verifiable record for regulators. Minimisation in practice: files are removed after delivery, so personal data is held only as long as necessary, aligning with Article 5(1)(e). With EUR 1.2 billion in European fines issued in 2024 alone, that evidence increasingly matters.
Yes, through traceability. In a suspected breach, the audit trail identifies affected files, recipients and timelines immediately, and logs are detailed and exportable for supervisory authorities. Considering it takes organisations an average of 258 days to identify and contain a breach, that transparency dramatically shortens investigation time.
Named-user transfers prevent the classic misdirected-email mistake, while download limits, expiry dates and recipient-level restrictions contain the damage when people slip. Just as importantly, a system this easy to use stops staff drifting to risky personal platforms, a problem affecting 30% to 80% of organisations. More practical examples in our Case Studies.
