Data science solutions for all companies embedded in their Digital Transformation Journey.
Data science solutions for all companies
Accessible modular end-to-end data science enables organizations to realize the full benefits of AI.
Flexible engagement models include traditional digital consulting, bundled fractional services, and custom products.
Data science is the great equalizer, where smaller organizations can create a big presence and big companies can create familiar connections.
Front and backend data science
We distinguish between backend and frontend data science.
We define the backend as the part that deals with hardware, efficient computing, and data storage infrastructure, or what is often referred to as data engineering.
We define the frontend as the part geared more toward data analysis and can be further divided into tasks performed by data analysts, machine learning engineers, statisticians, specialists in natural language processing, neural network, data visualization, and various roles such as data science software developers.
An integrated development environment – IDE
Tailored – Not off the shelf, not a black box, but focused on the problem at hand, aligned with what decision someone needs to make.

Compliance Certification. Risk Audits and Assessments
Complying with regulatory data laws, assessing data security, the use of data, data science models, and algorithm fairness is no easy feat for any company.
An important concern that arises alongside centralizing and processing data is that of data governance. Organizations must use data in a manner that is operationally efficient and complies with legal transparency and privacy regulations. This means that organizations must dictate and document (data cataloging) how and what data is integrated, how that data is used, that the data is accurate and consistent, and that it is accessible only to the appropriate parties.
Gain peace of mind by ensuring your company complies with increasing data regulations mitigating the harsh penalties for non-compliance and take time back for other work.
Our data auditing services include but are not limited to:
Regulatory conforming analytics - GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the toughest privacy and security law in the world. If your company targets or collects data related to people in the EU the GDRP imposes obligations regardless of your business location.
Analysis of your data process for European customers and employees to determine compliance with the GDPR. If necessary, we advise on how gaps can be closed.
For non-compliance, the regulator levies harsh fines with penalties reaching into the tens of millions or 4% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher.
Our data processing and data security not only passes GDPR regulation but also data guidelines of the German Banking supervisor (BaFin) as well as state bank regulations.
Our services incorporate GDPR regulatory compliance. When using Alephnet front or backend resources you can be sure that you are in compliance with GDPR regulations.
Data Security Assessment
Risk assessments help you understand where your sensitive data is, who has access to it and what changes are happening around it.
A successful data security risk assessment usually can be broken down into three steps:
- Identify what the risks are to your critical systems and sensitive data
- Identify and organize your data by the weight of the risk associated with it
- Take action to mitigate the risks
Data Science Education
Arguably, data science is not a discipline but rather an umbrella term used to describe a complex process involving not one data scientist possessing all the necessary expertise, but a team of data scientists with non-overlapping complementary skills. This must be taken into account when designing data science educational programs.
In a digital world, every company should be asking the question; “how can data help us achieve our goals?” Empowering the workforce to become data science citizens requires some level of education. Whether it’s a training workshop, steps to infuse into your strategic planning, or a tailored company-wide educational program our data science know-how will help you progress.
