Genius Air
Printing and scanning in your security architecture
Highly secure cloud print and scan solution for critical infrastructures.
GDPR, ISO and KRITIS compliant. Made in Germany.
The challenge
Print and scan are the invisible security vulnerability
In traditional IT security architectures, printing and scanning processes are treated as secondary functions. Yet it is precisely through these processes that highly sensitive information flows on a daily basis: patient records, administrative documents, KRITIS documentation.
Uncontrolled print jobs, unsecure scan paths, and missing identity checks create data leaks that often become visible too late during GDPR or KRITIS audits.
Solution
This is how you benefit from Genius Air
Your print data stays in-house: Original data does not leave the local relay server, only metadata is processed in the cloud. Sensitive documents remain with you.
Managed Services instead of in-house operation: Software from Genius Bytes, hardened security hardware and cloud hoster from Germany from a single source. You receive the complete solution ready for operation, without your own servers, without your own operating team.
Processing takes place in compliance with GDPR. CRITICAL infrastructures are supported by a variety of security settings.
Benefits
This is what Genius Air does
Zero-Trust by Design
Genius Relay separates local devices from the cloud, enabling secure and controlled communication, either via a customer server or a hardened, BSI-certified appliance.
Identity and Access Management
Every print and scan operation is authorised on an identity-based basis. Genius Air integrates seamlessly with existing IT security and identity systems.
End-to-end encryption
End-to-end encryption across the entire data path from the client to the output device.
High-security integration
The solution is designed for the requirements of KRITIS environments and supports secure access via common high-security workstations.
Business Continuity and mobile workspaces
Business-critical printing and scanning processes continue to run even in the event of a failure. Mobile workstations are provided with the same level of security as stationary ones.
Managed Service
Genius Air is operated as a managed service. Genius Bytes takes care of the setup, operation, and maintenance of the solution. You can utilise the security architecture without having to operate servers, hardware or cloud infrastructure yourself.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Genius Air
For which applications is Genius Air designed?
Genius Air is designed for CRITIS environments and highly sensitive areas of operation. This includes authorities, healthcare, and CRITIS operators, among others. Its security architecture extends to the highest protection classes and supports secure access via standard high-security workstations.
Where is the data?
The original print data remains on a local relay server on-site. Only metadata is processed in the cloud. The cloud runs on a hoster based in Germany and is GDPR-compliant.
How is Genius Air operated?
Genius Air is operated as a managed service. Genius Bytes provides the software, operates the hardened security hardware, and is responsible for cloud operations. You use the complete security architecture without needing to build and maintain your own server or cloud infrastructure.
Printing and scanning in your security architecture
Genius Air closes the gap that classic IT security architectures leave in printing and scanning processes. After a personal consultation, we will make you a concrete proposal for your protection classes, site structure, and operating model.
