Our Competencies in Financial Data Access (FIDA)
Choose the area that fits your requirements
FIDA API Architecture and Security
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.
FIDA Audit and Reporting

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.
