Natlink, a Finnish company committed to secure and transparent data services, has chosen Steelbridge as its EU Data Act compliance infrastructure partner. The partnership enables Natlink to meet its Data Act obligations efficiently — without diverting engineering resources from its core product.
The EU Data Act places specific requirements on companies that process data from connected devices and IoT systems. For Natlink, meeting these requirements is both a regulatory obligation and a reflection of the company's core values around secure, transparent, user-centric data services.
"At Natlink, we're committed to meeting the requirements of the EU Data Act while continuing to deliver secure and transparent services. To speed up compliance, we've partnered with Steelbridge. This collaboration gives us a faster and more efficient path to enable user-controlled data access, consent-based sharing, and emergency data availability — without shifting focus from our core work."Vitalij Kanarskij · Engineering Manager, Natlink
How the partnership works
Steelbridge's platform integrates as a compliance layer alongside Natlink's existing systems — handling the technical obligations of the Data Act as a managed service. The integration covers user-controlled data access rights, consent management, third-party data sharing with appropriate access controls, and the emergency data availability requirements introduced by the regulation.
For Natlink's engineering team, this means compliance is implemented and actively maintained without requiring a dedicated internal team to track the evolving regulatory landscape.
Compliance as infrastructure, not overhead
The Natlink partnership illustrates the core value proposition of the Steelbridge platform: compliance should be a utility, not a project. Steelbridge provides ongoing compliance infrastructure that keeps pace with regulatory changes, enforcement guidance, and evolving best practices — keeping Natlink compliant without additional internal effort.
