eIDAS compliance
The term eIDAS refers to the European regulation that regulates trust in electronic transactions. This legislation determines how to prove the identity of senders and receivers, and how to legally substantiate the delivery and content of digital messages.
What is eIDAS
The term eIDAS refers to the European regulation that regulates trust in electronic transactions. This legislation determines how to prove the identity of senders and receivers, and how to legally substantiate the delivery and content of digital messages. Within eIDAS, there is a special category: electronic registered delivery service (ERDS). This provides the same legal weight as physical registered mail, including proof of transmission, proof of delivery and the integrity of the content sent.
The Goal
Minimize the risk of data breaches
Verify recipients before delivering sensitive data
Provide a legally demonstrable proof of secure delivery
Who needs to comply?
eIDAS applies to organizations in the public domain and healthcare sector that handle sensitive or medical data via email. Examples include:
- Healthcare providers — hospitals, clinics, GGZ institutions
- Municipalities & public services
- Youth care institutions
- Judiciary & legal bodies
- Safe Home & probation services
- Government agencies & ministries
