Simplify DGA Compliance With Comprehensive Security Controls and Automated Documentation

The EU Data Governance Act (DGA) establishes a framework for data sharing and intermediation services, requiring compliance from public sector bodies, data intermediation service providers, and data altruism organizations across all industries handling sensitive data.

Kiteworks helps organizations comply with DGA requirements through its Private Content Network, which enables secure data sharing with comprehensive governance controls. The platform’s advanced security features, including encryption, access controls, and audit logging, ensure compliant data transfers while maintaining data sovereignty. Kiteworks’ unified platform streamlines DGA compliance by providing the necessary technical and organizational measures for secure cross-border data exchanges and third-party oversight.

Navigate Complex Data Sharing Requirements While Protecting Sensitive Information Across Borders

Organizations must implement strict technical and organizational measures to ensure secure data sharing while preventing unauthorized access and maintaining compliance with varying requirements across EU member states and sectors.

Meet Data Security and Privacy Requirements Without Compromising Access

Organizations must balance robust data protection with necessary data sharing and processing needs. They face multiple technical challenges: implementing secure processing environments, maintaining data anonymization, managing consent mechanisms, and preventing unauthorized access. Companies need comprehensive systems to protect both static and dynamic personal data while enabling controlled data spaces that prevent unnecessary third-party transmission. These requirements demand significant technical infrastructure and organizational processes.

Standardize Consent Management and Data Exchange Across Borders

Complex data sharing infrastructures must be developed that support uniform consent management across EU member states while maintaining interoperability between different systems. They need to implement tools for consent collection, withdrawal mechanisms, and data format conversions—while ensuring continuity of service. Additional challenges include creating automated information points, managing multi-lateral data sharing platforms, and establishing specific infrastructure for interconnecting various stakeholders.

Extensive Documentation and Reporting Requirements

There are administrative burdens to maintain detailed records of data processing activities, unauthorized access incidents, and data sharing permissions. Organizations must track processing dates, durations, and technical methods while keeping public registers current. Companies need robust systems to document data holder notifications, maintain activity logs, and update multiple regulatory bodies. These documentation requirements demand substantial resources for continuous monitoring and reporting.
