How to Prepare Your Organization for eIDAS 2.0
The upcoming eIDAS 2.0 regulation marks a significant update to the current standards for electronic identification and trust services in the EU. For many organizations, this will mean adjustments to their digital processes, especially in identity verification and digital signatures. Here are some important steps your organization can take to be prepared for eIDAS 2.0 and ensure compliance with the new rules.
1. Understand eIDAS 2.0's central requirements and changes eIDAS 2.0 contains changes that increase interoperability and standardize digital identifications across the EU. One of the biggest innovations is the introduction of the European Digital Identity Wallet, EUDI Wallet, which will give citizens and businesses the ability to easily access digital services and confirm their identity. Your organization should investigate the new requirements and identify the areas that will affect your current processes and procedures.
2. Update digital signature solutions With the new standards, there will be greater requirements for secure, qualified digital signatures. Make sure your organization uses a digital signature solution that complies with the updated requirements in eIDAS 2.0. Solutions like ePact can help companies ensure that their document management and signature processes are in accordance with the new rules.
3. Implement EUDI Wallet-compatible systems A central part of eIDAS 2.0 is the ability to integrate with the EUDI Wallet, which will become a standardized platform for digital identity in the EU. Organizations should explore the possibilities of adapting their own systems to the EUDI Wallet, so they can offer secure and user-friendly solutions that can be used across borders.
4. Educate employees Make sure your team understands what eIDAS 2.0 means for the organization. It may be necessary to update internal procedures and train employees in the new digital identity standards so they are prepared and comfortable with the implementation.
By taking these steps now, your organization can ensure that it is well prepared for the transition to eIDAS 2.0 and strengthen its position as a digitally responsible and secure player in the European market.
