Turn Data Act obligations into shippable work with owners, controls, and evidence.
This page is a program playbook: governance, milestones, and artifacts across Chapters II-VI.

EU Data Act compliance succeeds when it is run as a cross-functional delivery program: product UX for access rights, engineering for export pipelines, security for safeguards, legal/procurement for contract remediation, and finance for compensation and billing controls. The most reliable approach is evidence-first: design workflows and controls that automatically produce logs and artifacts you can use in disputes, audits, and procurement.
Start with a scope memo per product line and per contract type: which chapters apply, who the roles are, and what dataset is in scope. This prevents building portals for data you don't control.
Assign owners by workstream, not by chapter: product, engineering, security, legal, procurement, finance.
Chapter II work is user-facing: transparency before purchase, access mechanism (direct or indirect), and secure delivery. Treat this like a product launch with security gates.
Build a single request pipeline that can handle mixed personal and non-personal data safely.
Chapter III/IV work is contract-heavy. If you don't fix contract structure and annexes, the engineering work won't be usable in disputes.
Treat unfair terms as a remediation project for click through B2B terms and platform contracts.
Chapter V requests are exceptional but urgent. Build the intake workflow now: validate exceptional need, check request completeness, minimise and secure the dataset, and calculate compensation where applicable.
Treat each request as a case file with immutable logs.
Chapter VI is both compliance and procurement. Providers must remove switching obstacles; customers should require proof before signing long commitments.
Make switching a testable capability: contracts, an online register, public disclosures, and drills.
You'll be judged on your ability to operate the program, not just publish a policy. Build an operating cadence that produces evidence continuously.
Metrics should be operational (response time, export success rate, switching drill success), not just "policy exists".
