An SDK that generates compliant EU Data Act switching endpoints for SaaS providers

SaaS providers operating in or selling to the EU became subject to the EU Data Act switching obligations on 12 September 2025. The Act requires them to give any customer the ability to export all their data, receive it in a machine-readable structured format, and complete the full switch to another provider within 30 calendar days of request, with no technical or contractual barriers. There is no turnkey way to satisfy this today. Fivetran published an addendum covering only their own pipeline. Vanta, Drata, and OneTrust cover GRC frameworks but have no portability or switching-endpoint tooling. SaaS teams are building compliance from scratch, incurring weeks of engineering work and ongoing legal audit risk. This SDK drops into any SaaS backend and immediately exposes a standards-compliant switching interface. It generates the required data-export endpoint, handles the switching request lifecycle, produces both machine-readable (JSON, CSV) and human-readable export bundles, writes an audit-proof switching log, tracks deadlines and SLAs per the Act's 30-day and 2-month caps, serves a customer-facing self-service switching portal, enforces identity and authorization checks on every export request, and generates a regulator-ready compliance report. All configuration is code-first via a provider manifest (schema, entities, export adapters). The customer calls one endpoint; the SDK handles the rest end to end.

Gap Assessment

CompetitiveMultiple tools exist but differentiation opportunities remain

5 tools exist (Fivetran EU Data Act Addendum, OneTrust, Vanta, Drata, Airbyte) but gaps remain: Does not give other SaaS vendors any tooling to expose their own compliant switching endpoint; purely a legal self-declaration; No EU Data Act switching-endpoint generation, no machine-readable export bundle creation, no 30-day SLA tracking per the Act.
