EU Data Act · In Force Since September 2025
EU Data Act compliance for connected product manufacturers
Dativo is the operational platform that enables manufacturers of connected products to share product-generated data with customers and authorized third parties — as required by Articles 3–6 of Regulation (EU) 2023/2854.
The Challenge
What the EU Data Act means for manufacturers
Connected product manufacturers face a new regulatory reality. Here's what's at stake.
The EU Data Act is in effect
Regulation (EU) 2023/2854 is enforceable since September 2025. Manufacturers of connected products must provide customers with access to product-generated data. Non-compliance carries penalties of up to 4% of global annual turnover. This is not a future obligation — it is a current one.
Your equipment data lives in silos
Equipment data is scattered across Snowflake, Databricks, legacy SQL databases, SAP, and IIoT platforms. You can't share what you can't find. Conflicting identifiers — serial numbers, SAP IDs, asset tags — make it nearly impossible to build a unified view of what data exists for which equipment.
Compliance is a continuous obligation
This is not a one-time project. Every new customer, every new product line, every new data source needs to be mapped, classified, and made accessible. You need a platform that scales with your obligations, not a consulting engagement that ends with a report.
How It Works
From equipment registry to compliant data sharing
Three steps to operationalize your EU Data Act obligations.
Manufacturer
Register your equipment install base
Import equipment records via CSV or API. The platform resolves conflicting identifiers — serial numbers, SAP IDs, asset tags — and builds a unified equipment registry with quality scoring.
Manufacturer
Map data to equipment and classify
Connect your data sources (CSV included, Snowflake and Databricks with Commercial). Map datasets to equipment types. Classify trade secrets. The platform tracks what data exists for which equipment.
Customer
Customers access their data
Self-service portal where customers see their equipment, browse available datasets, request access, and download data. Fulfillment queue with SLA tracking ensures requests are resolved on time.
Capabilities
Everything you need for Data Act compliance
A purpose-built platform covering the full scope of your data sharing obligations under the EU Data Act.
Equipment Identity Resolution
Unified registry with quality scoring and fuzzy identifier matching. Import thousands of equipment records and resolve conflicts automatically, with intelligent matching that improves over time.
Dataset Catalog & Data Mapping
Define data sources, configure mapping rules between raw datasets and equipment types, and manage schema associations. Auto-suggested mappings reduce manual configuration by up to 80%.
Customer Self-Service Portal
Branded portal for customers to view equipment, explore datasets, request data access, manage users, and designate third-party recipients. No support tickets required.
Fulfillment Engine with SLA Tracking
Task queue that tracks every data access request from submission to resolution. Built-in SLA monitoring ensures Article 4 timing requirements are met.
Trade Secret Classification
Classify datasets as trade secrets with economic damage justification. Manage withholding records and confidentiality agreements. Full Article 4(3) compliance.
Compliance Audit Trail
Every action logged with timestamps, actors, and legal basis. Compliance dashboard with regulatory export. Ready for supervisory authority review.
Connector SDK
Plugin architecture for data source connectors. CSV included. Snowflake, Databricks, and custom connectors available in Commercial. Build your own with the open SDK.
Third-Party Data Sharing
Complete Articles 5–6 workflow: customer-designated third parties, authorization verification, data scoping, FRAND compensation terms, and pre-contractual transparency.
