Proven Use Cases in Public Sector
From information system catalogs to citizen data protection — here is how public institutions use Dawiso.
Information System Inventory & Catalog
Your institution runs dozens to hundreds of information systems without a central overview. Dawiso gives you a central catalog of all IS, with links to business owners, technical administrators, data flows, and the legal basis for operation. Meet national IS inventory obligations.
GDPR & Citizen Data Protection
GDPR requires knowing where personal data resides, how it flows, and who has access. Dawiso's data lineage automatically maps personal data across systems. Your DPO can answer regulator questions in minutes instead of weeks.
Open Data Identification & Preparation
EU Open Data Directive requires publishing selected datasets. Dawiso helps identify, classify, approve, and prepare datasets for publication — with governance workflow ensuring only approved data reaches the public.
Audit Trail & Compliance for Oversight Bodies
Supreme audit institutions, data protection authorities, and internal audit require provable change history. Dawiso automatically records every change with a complete audit trail. Approval workflows ensure changes follow defined governance processes.

The platform is built for organizations with strict governance, security, and compliance requirements typical of the public sector.

Integration with national open data catalogs depends on your specific infrastructure — contact us to discuss options.
