What is the EUDI wallet?

The European Digital Identity Wallet lets citizens and businesses share attributes securely — for example age, professional qualification or company registry data — without oversharing personal data. Member states and recognised providers build wallet ecosystems under EU specifications.

Privacy and security

Wallet implementations must demonstrate data minimisation, consent and logging under GDPR and eIDAS. Consider: which attributes are requested, retention, who is controller versus QTSP?

Link wallet projects to DPIA, risk assessment and vendor management in your ISMS — not as a standalone IT project.

Integration for organisations

If you offer services that accept wallet attributes: plan API security, fraud detection, fallback when wallet is unavailable, and clear UX on which data you need and why.

Checklist

  • Inventory eID, QES and QTSP use
  • Map vendors and trust list status
  • Link to ISMS, GDPR and risk register
  • Plan DPIA where wallet or identity data
  • Test fallback and incident scenarios

Practical next step

For EUDI wallet, ISO Ready links identity, trust and security measures in one ISMS — with actions, evidence and vendors toward audit. Run the readiness scan on iso-ready.nl.
