Gemeinsam gegen Geldwäsche: Wie EuroDaT den sicheren Austausch sensibler Finanzdaten ermöglicht
EuroDaT, a subsidiary of the state of Hesse, is a pioneering data trustee enabling controlled, case-specific exchange of sensitive financial data. Their safeAML system, developed with major banks, digitalizes information sharing to combat money laundering effectively. Traditionally, this process involved cumbersome phone calls due to strict data privacy regulations. safeAML allows banks to digitally access necessary transaction details from others without direct data exposure.EuroDaT utilizes Google Cloud's infrastructure, specifically Google Kubernetes Engine, to build a scalable and GDPR-compliant platform. This cloud-native approach ensures secure, isolated environments for each data request, managed through Infrastructure as Code for automated compliance. safeAML is currently being piloted by German banks, accelerating suspicion checks and reducing false alarms. The system facilitates faster, more accurate transaction analysis without compromising data confidentiality.EuroDaT's model extends beyond finance, offering solutions for secure data sharing in areas like ESG reporting and healthcare research. They are collaborating with the German Sustainability Code to help SMEs securely share ESG data with financial institutions. In healthcare, EuroDaT is enabling the secure aggregation of sensitive health and employment data for research and policy decisions, as demonstrated by a study on post-COVID employment impacts.The core principle is to empower data sovereignty by facilitating secure and controlled data exchange when necessary. By acting as a neutral data trustee, EuroDaT ensures data protection remains paramount. Their partnership with Google Cloud embeds data privacy into the foundation of digital collaboration between businesses, authorities, and research institutions.
