As outlined in Part 1, the European Data Act presents significant challenges for companies across various industries. Stream Analyze Data Broker is a comprehensive solution designed to simplify and empower your data management, ensuring compliance with this new regulatory landscape.
The Compliance challenge
Navigating the European Data Act is no small feat. The Act introduces a series of compliance challenges that must be addressed to avoid hefty penalties and operational disruptions.
• Complexity of integration: Adapting existing data systems to comply with the Data Act involves complex technical adjustments. Businesses must align their data handling with not only this Act but also other international data protection regulations, which complicates compliance.
• Data portability and accessibility: The Act requires that data be readily accessible and transferable, necessitating major updates to IT system architectures. Implementing these changes could demand significant investments in new technologies and staff training.
• Maintaining data security and privacy: As data sharing increases under the new rules, so does the risk of breaches and privacy violations. Companies need to enhance their cybersecurity measures to safeguard sensitive data and comply with the Act’s strict security requirements.
These challenges stress the necessity for a robust solution that simplifies the compliance process without compromising on operational efficiency.
