Data Strategy Briefing — May 30, 2024
The revised eIDAS Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 entered the Official Journal, mandating EU digital identity wallets and trust services with strict data portability and consent controls.
Executive briefing: Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 amending eIDAS was published on 30 May 2024, obliging Member States to issue European Digital Identity (EUDI) wallets within 24 months and defining trust service interoperability, consent, and data minimisation safeguards.
Key data governance checkpoints
- Wallet integration. Plan authentication, attribute verification, and consent capture to interface with state-issued EUDI wallets.
- Qualified trust services. Review reliance on qualified electronic signatures, seals, and archiving services subject to updated supervision and security requirements.
- Data minimisation. Ensure wallet interactions request only necessary attributes and respect selective disclosure mandates.
Operational priorities
- Roadmap synchronisation. Align wallet readiness programmes with upcoming implementing acts on technical specifications and certification.
- Vendor management. Vet identity providers and trust service partners for compliance with the revised assurance and cybersecurity obligations.
- Customer experience. Update onboarding flows and UI copy to explain wallet-based authentication, consent, and data portability rights.
Enablement moves
- Brief product, legal, and security leaders on new Article 6a obligations and timelines for issuing at least one wallet per Member State.
- Enhance audit trails capturing consent, attribute exchange logs, and incident reporting tied to wallet transactions.
