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.
A comprehensive FIDA gap analysis is the foundation for successful compliance. We systematically assess your current position, identify critical implementation gaps and develop a tailored roadmap for FIDA-compliant transformation.
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.
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 Readiness Assessment
What does a FIDA readiness assessment evaluate?
The assessment evaluates six dimensions: technical API readiness, data quality and availability, consent management capabilities, organizational change readiness, regulatory compliance gaps and strategic business opportunities through open finance. You receive a maturity score per dimension with prioritized recommendations.
How long does a FIDA readiness assessment take?
A full assessment typically takes four to six weeks. It includes stakeholder interviews, technical analysis of existing API landscapes, data quality checks and industry benchmark comparisons. The deliverable is a detailed report with a concrete implementation roadmap and effort estimates.
Which organizations need a FIDA readiness assessment?
Under Art.
2 of the FIDA regulation, the assessment is relevant for banks, insurers, asset managers, pension funds and payment service providers — all financial institutions classified as data holders. FinTechs and third parties planning to operate as Financial Information Service Providers (FISPs) also benefit from the maturity analysis.
How does a readiness assessment differ from a gap analysis?
The readiness assessment evaluates the overall maturity of your organization across six dimensions and delivers a benchmark score. The gap analysis dives deeper into specific action areas with a detailed target-vs-actual comparison. In practice, financial institutions start with the readiness assessment and use the results as the basis for targeted gap analyses.
What deliverables does the assessment produce?
You receive a maturity score per dimension, a gap analysis with identified action areas, a prioritized roadmap with quick wins and strategic measures, effort estimates for FIDA implementation and industry benchmark comparisons.
How does the assessment account for existing DORA and PSD3 initiatives?
FIDA, DORA and PSD 3 together form the new regulatory framework for the European financial sector. Our assessment specifically checks for synergies: existing ICT risk controls from DORA can be reused for FIDA. PSD 3 adjustments for payment data feed directly into the FIDA readiness evaluation. This avoids duplicate compliance efforts.
When should financial institutions start the FIDA readiness assessment?
Now. The FIDA regulation is in EU trilogue and expected to be finalized in 2026. Phased implementation begins
24 months after entry into force. Experience shows financial institutions need
12 to
18 months for implementation. An early assessment ensures sufficient lead time and avoids last-minute compliance pressure.
