European Data Act Compliance Checklist: 10 Key Steps

UNDERSTAND YOUR DATA

Clearly comprehend the types of data generated, collected, and processed by your connected products or related services.

Gain a comprehensive understanding of the types of data generated, collected, and processed by your connected products or related services. Conduct a thorough inventory of the data produced or accessed by your products and services, including both raw and pre-processed data. Categorize the data according to its nature, such as personal or non-personal, and its relevance to the Data Act requirements. This includes all raw and pre-processed data generated from the use of a connected product or a related service that is readily available to the data holder, and making the data accessible to the user and/or data recipients.

Furthermore, identify any sensitive or proprietary data elements and implement appropriate safeguards to protect them from unauthorized access or disclosure.
