We are excited to announce that Steelbridge Oy has officially signed a strategic partnership with Deloitte Germany to deliver end-to-end EU Data Act compliance solutions for IoT and connected-service companies across Europe. This partnership combines Steelbridge's cutting-edge Data Act SaaS platform with Deloitte's extensive consulting expertise and global market reach, ensuring that manufacturers, service providers, and data-driven enterprises can navigate regulatory requirements with confidence.
Together, we will empower businesses to transform compliance into an opportunity — unlocking new data monetization models, streamlining consent management, and building user trust across the EU's unified digital market.
The EU Data Act creates a complex set of obligations for manufacturers of connected products — including user data access rights, third-party data sharing frameworks, emergency data availability, and trade-secret protection mechanisms. While the technical obligations are well-defined in the regulation, operationalising compliance in large organisations requires both the right infrastructure and significant organisational change management.
Steelbridge handles the technical implementation of these obligations as a managed service. Deloitte provides the strategic and organisational change management expertise that enterprise IoT manufacturers need to operationalise compliance at scale — from initial gap analysis to architecture design, implementation governance, and ongoing monitoring.
"This partnership is the natural next step for companies that take compliance seriously. Deloitte brings the enterprise relationships and change management expertise; Steelbridge brings the technical infrastructure. Together we can move clients from obligation to live implementation faster than any alternative."Steelbridge team
