Project objectives

Six objectives.
One operational outcome.

COMPLIANCE4DPP commits to a measurable set of outcomes — from automated verification to SME uptake — that together turn Gaia-X principles into deployable industrial infrastructure.

02.1 / OutcomesO1 — O6
OBJECTIVE O1

Automate compliance verification

Replace manual audit cycles with continuous, machine-verifiable compliance flows across federated data ecosystems.

KPI≥ 70% reduction in manual verification effort across pilots.
OBJECTIVE O2

Operationalise Bring Your Own Rules

Deliver a runtime where sectors define and govern their own compliance rules without breaking interoperability.

KPI≥ 3 distinct rule frameworks executed on a shared substrate.
OBJECTIVE O3

Enable the Digital Product Passport

Provide production-ready building blocks for issuing, exchanging and verifying DPP credentials across value chains.

KPIEnd-to-end DPP flow demonstrated in 2 industrial sectors.
OBJECTIVE O4

Express policies as code

Translate regulatory and contractual obligations into executable, version-controlled, auditable policy artefacts.

KPIOpen policy library covering ESPR, Data Act and DPP baseline.
OBJECTIVE O5

Advance Pontus-X to production

Mature Pontus-X toward production-grade DPP integration for sovereign, federated data exchange.

KPIProduction deployment validated with 2+ ecosystem partners.
OBJECTIVE O6

Make adoption SME-friendly

Lower the cost of compliance entry with accessible tooling, documentation and reference integrations for SMEs.

KPI≥ 20 SMEs onboarded across pilot and outreach activities.

Outcomes that travel beyond the project.

Every objective produces open, reusable artefacts — code, schemas, policies, reference integrations — designed for adoption across the European data-space landscape.
