EU Data Act compliance with Polarion: Unlock new data-driven business models

Do your connected products collect, transmit, or store data? If so, you are highly likely to be affected by the EU Data Act. It requires companies to provide users with fair and transparent access to their data and to meet stringent security and governance standards. With the introduction of the new “Data Access by Design” requirements on 12th September 2026, companies must ensure that data access is systematically embedded into product development.

The challenge: Compliance is not a one-off task to be completed before a product launch. It must remain verifiable and manageable throughout the product’s entire lifecycle—even following updates, releases, or architectural changes.

Managing this workload using standard office tools quickly becomes a burden. An integrated Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solution offers a remedy: it reduces the compliance burden, ensures transparency, and opens new business opportunities. After all, structured management of data access enables companies to develop data-driven services, identify new revenue models, and create additional value for customers.

In this joint webinar, Siemens and Deloitte demonstrate how you can build a structured and scalable approach to EU Data Act compliance using Polarion ALM while creating long-term business value from data and enhancing your innovative capabilities.

Key takeaways:

• Understanding the EU Data Act: What is the impact for your company and products.
• Leveraging the Potential of "Access by Design" and Data-Driven Innovations: How to tap into these opportunities, recognizing success factors and pitfalls.
• Efficient Compliance Throughout the Product Lifecycle: How to prevent costly mistakes and avoid reputational risks.
