Data governance for the EU Data Act.
The EU Data Act obliges manufacturers of connected products to share usage data. We build the governance foundation for it: responsibilities, metadata and transparency across vehicle usage data.
The question
How does an automotive manufacturer comply with the EU Data Act when transparency across vehicle usage data, clear responsibilities and processes are missing?
Our answer
We took over project management for the data-governance stream and implemented a multi-stage approach. First, we identified all relevant usage-data sources from vehicles and connected services, anchored data ownership at management level and secured budgets for maintenance and classification. In parallel, we assessed data flows in backend systems for EU Data Act relevance together with the responsible owners and the legal department, and developed a standardised metadata model that we integrated into the company-wide inventory approach.
What we delivered
Usage-data sources identified systematically.
Captured all relevant data from vehicles and connected services and assessed it for EU Data Act relevance.
Ownership anchored at management level.
Data ownership clearly assigned, budgets secured for continuous maintenance and classification.
Standardised and integrated company-wide.
Uniform documentation and categorisation, aligned with the central architecture and meeting compliance requirements.
What it achieved
- Developed a standardised metadata model to comply with the EU Data Act.
- Anchored clear responsibilities for data assessment and upkeep.
- Identified the relevant backend systems for connecting to outbound data-sharing technologies.
- Created a governance foundation that lowers regulatory risk and makes data-sharing processes efficient.
