Towards a Digital Clearinghouse 2.0 lisa Thu, 10/16/2025 - 09:40 Tue, 01/27/2026 - 12:00

The digital regulatory landscape now extends beyond data protection, consumer protection and competition law. In response to rapid technological and regulatory developments, the EDPS invites you to discuss the future of cross-regulatory cooperation.

Effective cross-regulatory cooperation is necessary to ensure consistent application of recent laws such as the Data Governance Act, Digital Markets Act, Digital Services Act, Data Act, and Artificial Intelligence Act - each of which highlight the critical role of personal data in the digital economy and the need to protect individuals. The EDPS proposes a Digital Clearinghouse 2.0 to provide competent authorities with a forum to exchange and coordinate on issues of common interest.

When: 27 January 2026
Where: European Commission, Charlemagne building, Brussels

EDPS Recognised for Accountability at GPA Awards francesco Wed, 10/01/2025 - 12:16 Wed, 10/01/2025 - 12:00

the EDPS has been awarded at the GPA Awards in the Accountability category for two strategic initiatives to enhance personal data breach management across EU institutions: The Data Breach Awareness Campaign and PATRICIA Exercise - Personal dATa bReach awareness In Cybersecurity Incident hAndling!

The Data Breach Awareness Campaign, targeted at selected participants, was structured to assess existing breach management practices, identify critical areas, evaluate process implementation, and provide tailored recommendations. 

In addition, together with the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), we jointly organised two table-top exercises in Brussels. The initiative was designed to raise awareness among staff from European Union Institutions on how to effectively manage personal data breaches.

This recognition by the Global Privacy Assembly highlights the value of joint initiatives where supervisory authorities build capacity, foster collaboration, and promote continuous improvement in data protection.

We thank the Global Privacy Assembly for this recognition and remain committed to strengthening cooperation and preparedness in the protection of personal data.
