Our Competencies
Choose the area that fits your requirements
The technical implementation of FIDA requires solid API architectures and the highest security standards. We develop secure, flexible, and FIDA-compliant API solutions that optimally combine data protection, performance, and regulatory requirements.
Ensure complete FIDA compliance through professional audit and reporting services. We support you in implementing monitoring systems, preparing for regulatory examinations, and maintaining continuous compliance documentation.
The EU Financial Data Access regulation (FIDA) requires banks, insurers and financial institutions with 250+ employees to share customer data with licensed third parties via standardised APIs. A structured compliance programme is essential to meet FDSS membership, consent management and real-time data provision requirements on time.
The FIDA regulation requires data holders to provide every customer with a permission dashboard – an online interface for monitoring and managing all granted data sharing permissions. We develop consent management systems that combine granular permissions, real-time overviews and simple revocation functions meeting both FIDA and GDPR requirements.
As a specialized FIDA consulting partner, we support financial institutions with the technical implementation of the Financial Data Access regulation. From API architecture and consent management to scheme integration, we offer proven consulting services for sustainable FIDA compliance.
Successful implementation of the Financial Data Access Regulation requires precise technical execution and strategic implementation planning. We accompany you from system architecture through to go-live with proven implementation methodologies.
Specialized incident response strategies for FIDA compliance incidents. We support you in the rapid and effective handling of data breaches, API outages, and regulatory compliance incidents in the FIDA context.
A structured assessment of your FIDA readiness provides the foundation for successful compliance and strategic market positioning. We evaluate your current position across six dimensions, identify concrete action areas and develop a prioritized implementation roadmap with quick wins.
The Financial Data Access Regulation (FIDA) defines new regulatory standards for data access in the financial sector. We support you in achieving full compliance implementation and strategic positioning within the new regulatory landscape.
Professional sandbox environments and comprehensive testing services for FIDA implementations. From API validation to compliance testing — we ensure that your FIDA solution is production-ready and regulatory compliant.
The Financial Data Access regulation requires robust frameworks for third-party risk management and vendor selection. We develop strategies for secure and FIDA-compliant data sharing partnerships — from FISP licensing verification through vendor due diligence to ongoing risk monitoring.
The Financial Data Access Regulation requires comprehensive employee qualification and organizational awareness. We develop tailored training programs that optimally prepare your teams for FIDA requirements and ensure sustainable compliance success.
Frequently Asked Questions about FIDA Gap Analysis
What does a FIDA gap analysis cover?
A FIDA gap analysis systematically assesses the difference between your institution's current state and the requirements of the Financial Data Access regulation. Six core areas are examined: technical API infrastructure and interface capabilities, data quality and availability across all financial products, security architecture and access controls, consent management processes, organizational governance structures and existing compliance processes. The result is a quantified readiness score with prioritized recommendations.
How long does a FIDA gap analysis take?
A complete FIDA gap analysis typically takes three to six weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the institution. The first week covers kick-off, document analysis and stakeholder interviews. The second and third weeks focus on technical assessment of the API landscape and data architecture. The final weeks are dedicated to results consolidation and creation of the prioritized implementation roadmap.
What deliverables does the FIDA gap analysis produce?
You receive a detailed report with a quantified readiness score per assessment area, an overview of all identified gaps with risk ratings, a prioritized implementation roadmap with effort estimates and timelines, concrete recommendations for quick wins and strategic measures, and a cost-benefit analysis for different implementation scenarios.
Why should the FIDA gap analysis be conducted now?
The FIDA regulation is expected to be adopted in mid‑2026, with the implementation deadline ending in late
2027 or early 2028. Given the technical complexity — API development, data integration, security architecture — most institutions need
12 to
18 months for implementation. An early gap analysis creates the necessary lead time for timely compliance.
How does the FIDA gap analysis differ from a general IT audit?
The FIDA gap analysis is specifically aligned to the requirements of the Financial Data Access regulation. It evaluates not only technical capabilities but also regulatory compliance, consent management processes and readiness for industry-wide data sharing through FIDA Schemes. A general IT audit does not capture these regulation-specific aspects.
What areas are examined in the technical API assessment?
The technical API assessment covers existing API gateways and interface architecture, authentication and authorization mechanisms, data transformation and mapping capabilities, performance and scalability aspects, monitoring and logging infrastructure, and compatibility with common FIDA Scheme specifications. Special attention is given to legacy system integration.
Can the gap analysis also be used for PSD3 preparation?
Yes. FIDA and PSD 3 are being negotiated in the same legislative package and share significant overlap in technical requirements. The FIDA gap analysis covers API security, consent management and data architecture — areas that are also relevant for PSD3. Many institutions use the FIDA gap analysis as a starting point for combined FIDA/PSD 3 preparation.
