Data Protection

Protecting your data throughout every stage of the EDI process.

Data sits at the centre of EDI operations — orders, invoices, pricing, partner references and operational metadata. Data protection is not just about security controls, but about how information is handled, accessed and governed across its lifecycle.

XEDI is designed to support responsible data handling while enabling efficient, automated trading.

Our approach to data protection

Data protection is built into the platform’s architecture and operational processes, supporting secure handling without adding unnecessary complexity.

Our approach focuses on:

  • minimising unnecessary data exposure

  • controlling access and visibility

  • maintaining traceability

  • supporting compliance requirements across industries

Data handling and processing

Purpose-driven processing

Data is processed solely to support configured document flows, integrations and operational requirements. Information is not used outside of its intended purpose.

Logical data separation

Customer data is logically separated within the platform, ensuring document flows, partner configurations and operational data remain scoped appropriately.

Data lifecycle awareness

Documents and associated metadata are handled as part of controlled workflows, with clear processing stages and traceable events.

Access control and visibility

Role-based access

Access to data and platform functions is governed through user roles and permissions, helping ensure users only see what they need to perform their role.

Multi-user environments

XEDI supports multi-user access while maintaining accountability for actions such as retries, corrections and configuration changes.

Data transmission and storage

Secure transmission

Data is transferred using secure, encrypted protocols appropriate for enterprise integrations and partner connectivity.

Controlled storage

Operational data is stored in line with platform requirements and retention considerations, supporting traceability and audit needs.

Auditability and traceability

Strong traceability supports both operational control and data protection obligations.

XEDI provides:

  • document-level tracking

  • timestamps for key processing events

  • visibility into retries, corrections and outcomes

  • clear linkage between documents and partners

This helps organisations respond confidently to audits, investigations and partner queries.

Supporting regulatory requirements

Data protection obligations vary by organisation, geography and industry. XEDI is designed to support common requirements such as:

  • secure data handling

  • controlled access and permissions

  • traceable processing

  • accountability for changes and actions

While compliance responsibilities remain with the customer, the platform provides the technical foundation to support those obligations.

Data protection in integrations and partnerships

  • Secure connectivity methods for inbound and outbound data

  • Validation and error handling to reduce unexpected data processing

  • Clear boundaries between partner configurations

  • Controlled retry and correction workflows to prevent data leakage
