What dataxchange does

dataXchange is a web-based secure file transfer platform operated by Pro-Active Business Information Limited, a private UK company headquartered in Chichester. The platform targets mid-market and enterprise businesses that have outgrown consumer-grade tools such as WeTransfer or Dropbox, or that still rely on email and FTP, and it differentiates on AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest, full audit trails, authentication controls, automatic 60-day file deletion, 4TB file-size limits, and white-label branding. Underlying infrastructure is built on Amazon S3 with optional hosting in UK, EU, or US regions, and the platform is certified to ISO 27001:2013 (British Assessment Bureau, Certificate No. 211778) and Cyber Essentials Plus, with annual third-party penetration testing against NIST, OWASP, PTES, and PCI DSS 3.2 methodologies.

The business model is annual subscription SaaS with three tiers: Bronze at £395/year (3 users, 100GB), Silver at £795/year (10 users, 500GB), and Gold at £1,195/year (20 users, 1TB). All tiers include unlimited external users, unlimited file sizes, support, white-label branding, and monitoring; a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 2-week no-card-required free trial reduce acquisition friction. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct sales with dedicated account managers for enterprise buyers, inside sales via phone/web for mid-market, and self-serve trial for SMBs, supported by content marketing through the Insights blog and SEO on dataxchange.eu. Named customers include Leeds United FC, Watford FC, Goodwood, National Autistic Society, Whistl, and Retail Week, spanning sports, luxury, non-profit, logistics, and media. The company is privately held, has no disclosed funding rounds, and operates with a small visible team (Director and Data Protection Officer John Noble, Director Jason Boxall, Lead Developer Steven Wright).
