Legal
department
The primary aim of the work carried out is to arrive at a shared understanding between the State, regulators and professionals of the conditions of application of the DGA regulation and the SREN law (Loi de Sécurisation et de Régulation de l’Espace Numérique) for data intermediation and data holders/users, in conjunction with the Direction Générale des Entreprises of the Ministry of the Economy and Finance and Arcep.
Economic
department
The actions carried out in this area will initially focus on documenting existing and potential business models for data intermediaries, as well as for data holders/users in the context of data spaces.
It should be noted that these actions are carried out within a strict deontological framework, respecting in particular the anti-competitive rules set out in the association’s internal regulations.
Technical
department
Because security in terms of data exchanges and transactions relies in particular on interoperability, we felt it useful and necessary to identify the formats and work being carried out in the various data spaces, and to organize the monitoring of these and associated best practices. Based on this preliminary identification work, we will then invest in those of greatest interest to the association’s members, in conjunction with the expertise of the Data Spaces Support Centre (DSSC), Gaia-X and the Institut Mines-Télécom (IMT).
