In force since September 2025, the EU Data Act imposes new data sharing obligations on manufacturers, IoT vendors, and industrial operators across Europe. Most companies are behind. The ones who move first will turn compliance into a competitive advantage.
Talk to an ExpertAnyone who uses a connected product — a machine, a sensor, a vehicle — now has a legal right to access the data it generates, in real time. If you make or operate connected equipment in the EU, you must be able to provide that data on demand.
Businesses can be required to share data with third parties — including competitors — under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms. Industrial companies that rely on proprietary data moats need a new strategy.
In exceptional circumstances (emergencies, public interest), government bodies can compel private companies to share data. This is particularly relevant for energy, utilities, and critical infrastructure operators.
Data processors and cloud providers must enable seamless switching between services. Vendor lock-in strategies built on proprietary data formats are now legally constrained — and your data architecture needs to reflect that.
Manufacturers of connected machines, sensors, and industrial equipment — you now have data sharing obligations built into product design
Industrial operators using IoT-connected equipment — you have new rights to your operational data, and your vendors must comply
Energy, utilities, and critical infrastructure companies — subject to both sharing obligations and potential public sector access requirements
PE-backed portfolio companies operating in Europe — data compliance is now a diligence item and a valuation risk if not addressed
We map your connected products, data flows, and existing contracts against EU Data Act requirements. You get a clear picture of where you're exposed, what needs to change, and how urgent each item is.
Compliance requires data that is accessible, portable, and auditable. We redesign your data infrastructure to meet those requirements — and in doing so, build the foundation for analytics and AI you've been deferring anyway.
We design and implement the APIs, access controls, and data sharing mechanisms the Act requires — in a way that protects your competitive data while meeting your legal obligations.
Companies that build proper data infrastructure for compliance end up with better operational data, faster analytics, and a platform for AI — years ahead of competitors who treat it as a box-checking exercise.
Compliance deadline has passed. The Act is in force. The question now is whether you're building for the minimum or for the advantage.
A structured audit of your connected products, data flows, contracts, and current architecture against EU Data Act requirements. Delivered as a prioritized action plan with legal exposure mapped to specific systems and processes.
We redesign your data infrastructure for portability, accessibility, and auditability — the three properties the Act implicitly requires. Built to support compliance today and AI workloads tomorrow.
We design and implement the data sharing interfaces required for user access rights and B2B sharing obligations — with access controls that protect proprietary data while meeting legal requirements.
Existing contracts with equipment vendors, cloud providers, and data processors may now be non-compliant. We identify the gaps and recommend renegotiation priorities before they become liabilities.
Ongoing compliance requires governance — clear ownership of data assets, access policies, audit trails, and processes for handling data access requests. We build the framework and train your team to run it.
For companies that need ongoing leadership rather than a one-off engagement, we operate as your embedded data executive — accountable for compliance, architecture, and turning the program into a long-term data advantage.
We'll review your connected products, data flows, and current architecture against EU Data Act requirements — and give you a clear picture of your exposure and the fastest path to compliance.
