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.
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 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 Third-Party Risk and Vendor Selection
What third-party risks does the FIDA regulation create?
The FIDA regulation creates new risk dimensions: data access risks from FISPs accessing customer data via APIs, cyber risks through expanded interfaces, compliance risks from inadequate consent verification by third parties, concentration risks from dependency on few large platforms and reputational risks from data misuse by partners.
How do you conduct FIDA-specific vendor due diligence?
FIDA-specific vendor due diligence goes beyond traditional criteria: the provider API security standards, consent management processes, data minimization practices, incident response capabilities, compliance with Financial Data Sharing Scheme standards and FISP licensing with the competent supervisory authority.
How are FIDA and DORA connected in third-party risk management?
DORA already comprehensively regulates ICT third-party risk. FIDA adds data-specific requirements. Organizations with DORA-compliant third-party risk management can extend their existing framework with FIDA-specific checkpoints: data sharing controls, consent compliance and API usage monitoring.
What criteria matter when selecting FIDA service providers?
Key selection criteria for FIDA service providers include: valid FISP licensing, API conformity with Financial Data Sharing Schemes, demonstrated security standards, platform scalability, experience in regulated financial environments, contractually agreed exit clauses and SLA agreements for availability and response times.
How is third-party risk monitored on an ongoing basis under FIDA?
Ongoing monitoring under FIDA includes: automated API usage analytics, regular security assessments, consent compliance checks, performance monitoring against SLA targets, incident tracking and annual recertification of third parties. Anomalies trigger defined escalation processes.
What exit strategies are needed for FIDA third parties?
FIDA exit strategies must ensure continuous data availability: data migration to alternative providers, transition periods for API changes, notification of affected customers, ensuring consent transfer and archiving audit trails. Every vendor contract must include contractually anchored exit clauses.
How do you protect against concentration risk in the FIDA ecosystem?
Concentration risks arise when few large providers dominate data access. Countermeasures include: multi-vendor strategies, regular market analyses for alternative providers, contractual diversification requirements and monitoring DMA gatekeeper regulations that aim to prevent individual tech corporations from dominating the market as FISPs.
