Our mission and vision
IDSA is on a mission to create a digital future, across Europe and around the world; in which all players can realize the full value of their data through equal access to secure and sovereign data exchange among trusted partners.
The most trusted standard in the world
We envision trusted data exchange taking place through federated, international data spaces that are globally certified by IDSA. IDS-certified products, services and systems open the door to a data economy in which businesses can share data up and down the value chain without security concerns. This approach will support new business models and enable a data economy based on true collaboration and trust, defined by data usage rules that are self-determined by data providers themselves.
Data Sovereignty
IDSA aims to enable data providers, of all types and sizes, to determine what happens to their data and define how, when and at what price others may use it across the value chain. We call this data sovereignty.
Data Spaces
Our vision depends on data spaces – which comprise relationships between trusted partners that are governed by the IDSA standard for secure and sovereign data exchange, certification and governance for business and industry across Europe and around the world.

The IDSA unlocks the data economy of the future by providing the access code for secure, self-determined data exchange among trusted partners. The IDS standard will change the way the world shares data.​
