Navigating the EU Data Act: Why orchestration helps

Data has become a crucial asset for businesses, prompting the EU to implement regulations like the EU Data Act, which will take effect in December 2023 and enforceable from September 2025. This regulation aims to establish rules for data access, sharing, and use, especially concerning data generated by connected devices and digital services, to ensure fairness, transparency, and user control. Compliance with the EU Data Act is imperative, with non-compliance resulting in substantial penalties, and it necessitates IT and security leaders to focus on interoperability, auditability, and secure data handling by default. Intelligent workflow platforms like Tines can help businesses meet these requirements by offering API connectivity for seamless data flow, built-in audit trails, and the ability to automate compliance workflows, thus aligning IT, security, compliance, and legal functions to reduce operational friction and support organizational growth while meeting regulatory obligations.
