For sectors and ecosystem owners
Managed data space as a service.
Sector-wide data sharing only works when identity, rights, consent and governance are built in from day one. We design, govern and operate the data space so participants move from intent to usage.
What's in the data space managed service
Full Protium stack as a managed service
Trust, credentials, authorization and platform — operated end-to-end by Protium under one accountable contract.
Participant identity, rights and consent flows
Every participant onboarded with verifiable identity, defined access rights and EU Data Act-aligned consent.
Governance model and operating agreements
We co-design the participation rules, the governance forum and the operating contracts that make the data space work over time.
Available via data-space-as-a-service.eu

Buyer questions, answered
Who owns the data space — Protium or the sector?+
The sector owns the data space. We operate it under contract. The governance forum is yours to convene; we provide the secretariat function if needed.
How do new participants join?+
Through a documented onboarding flow we operate. Identity verification, credential issuance, consent registration and access provisioning happen in one process.
What standards does this use?+
iSHARE v3 as the trust framework, OID4VCI and SD-JWT for credentials, EUDI Wallet ARF v1.5+ where wallets are involved.
How long does it take to launch a sector pilot?+
Pilot scope depends on participant count, regulatory complexity and integration depth. We size this in the Discovery phase.
How does this relate to EU Data Spaces (Common European Data Spaces)?+
Our stack is built on the same standards. We can plug into the Common European Data Spaces approach for sectors that adopt it.
