EYD gains international recognition as the first MyData Operator in Norway!

As the first company in Norway, EYD has been recognized with the global MyData Operator Award 2022. The MyData Operator Award recognizes personal data companies that have shown leadership by empowering individuals to control their personal data. The MyData Operator Award recognizes personal data companies that have shown leadership by empowering individuals to control their personal data. As promoted by the European Commission, putting people in the center of digital transformations is needed for a safe and sustainable digital future. Further, boosting data sharing and ensuring its trustworthiness is critical to reaping the benefits of our digitized lives. Organisations awarded with the MyData Operator Award are vital enablers for such a vision, providing value for companies and individuals alike.

"This is an important acknowledgement for the significant investments we have made to our platform for services for the exchange of personal data. We have developed a platform that by using self-sovereign and distributed identities creates valuable connections between individuals, companies and services", says EYDs CEO Louise Helliksen. 

The reality for the public is that personal data management seems remote, technical, and at times incomprehensible. As more organisations ingest, use, store, and share personal data, concerns about data protection have increased. MyData Operator Awards emphasize the best of both worlds – promoting how privacy and data protection can be ensured, whilst outlining how companies can empower individuals regarding their data. Individual empowerment means helping individuals access, share and get insights from their digital footprints to make informed decisions and get better services. This is achieved by connecting their data, such as health, travel, or financial, with other personal data to build a comprehensive overview of their life.

With the emergence of web 3.0, decentralized and distributed identities are the new buzzwords, thus prompting a new global change. Web 3.0 enables a future where distributed users and solutions are able to interact with data, value and other counterparties via a substrate of peer-to-peer networks without the need for third parties. The result: a composable human-centric & privacy preserving computing fabric for the next wave of the web. 

"Since I founded EYD we have relentlessly worked towards a goal building the next generation platform service. With the portfolio solution SafeSpot we have delivered a proof of concept to the market and this the MyData Operator Award has given it a global recognition of such", says CEO Louise Helliksen. 

EYD is a Norwegian technology company founded in 2018 and led by CEO Louise Helliksen. Since 2020 the company has been known by supporting thousands of companies throughout the pandemic with the solution SafeSpot, soon to be launched with multiple new services. In addition, following long preparations to build it's platform EYD is preparing to scale it's platform services to it's customers and partners. 

We are continuously looking for new partners and customers to grow our platforms ecosystem and encourage interested parties to get in touch.
