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. You build a catalog of all IS with links to business owners, technical administrators, data flows, and the legal basis for operation. Your IT department meets national IS inventory obligations.

GDPR & Citizen Data Protection

GDPR requires knowing where personal data resides, how it flows, and who has access. You use data lineage to map personal data across systems. Your DPO answers regulator questions in minutes instead of weeks.

Open Data Identification & Preparation

EU Open Data Directive requires publishing selected datasets. You identify, classify, and approve datasets for publication through a governance workflow that ensures only reviewed data reaches the public.

Data Discovery & Internal Data Marketplace

Most departments don't know what data exists two floors away. You scan your systems and build a searchable catalog. Teams discover existing datasets, request access, and share data products across departments without duplicating work.

Why Public Institutions Choose Dawiso

Built for organizations where transparency, data protection, and audit readiness are legal requirements.

Full Data Landscape Visibility

You scan all your information systems and build a central catalog. You see what data exists, who owns it, and how it flows between departments.

Automated Data Lineage

You trace data from source registers through transformation layers to statistical outputs and regulatory reports. Auto-generated via SQL Parser.

Fits Public Procurement

Transparent per-user pricing. On-premise, SaaS, or hybrid with full feature parity. LDAP and Azure AD integration. Live in weeks.

Why Now: Compliance Pressure Is Growing

Public institutions face expanding data governance, cybersecurity, and transparency requirements. Dawiso helps you address them from a single platform.

GDPR

Personal data protection is a legal obligation in the public sector. Data lineage maps where citizen data resides and flows, enabling rapid response to data subject requests.

NIS2

Already in effect. Expanded cybersecurity requirements now include public administration. Data governance is a prerequisite for compliance.

Open Data

EU Open Data Directive (2019/1024) requires publication of selected datasets. Dawiso helps identify, classify, and prepare data for publication.

eIDAS 2.0

European digital identity framework requiring data interoperability between member states. Multilingual data governance is a foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Dawiso deployed in the public sector?

Dawiso runs at public institutions and state enterprises across Europe, with 6+ years of continuous collaboration. Built for organizations with strict governance, security, and compliance requirements typical of the public sector. On-premise, SaaS, and hybrid deployment options available.

Can Dawiso be deployed fully on-premise?

Yes, and for institutions handling citizen data, on-premise is the recommended model. Your data and metadata stay inside your infrastructure perimeter. Hybrid and SaaS deployments are also available. Enterprise authentication via Azure AD and LDAP included.

How does Dawiso help with GDPR compliance?

You use automated data lineage to map where personal data resides and how it flows across systems. The business glossary defines categories of personal data. When your DPO or a data protection authority asks "where is citizen personal data?", you answer in minutes with a visual map, not a manual spreadsheet.

Can Dawiso help with open data publication?

You use Dawiso as the internal catalog where you identify, classify, and approve datasets for publication. The governance workflow ensures only reviewed data reaches the public. Integration with national open data catalogs depends on your infrastructure. Contact us to discuss options.

40+ connectors out of the box: databases (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL), data platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, Azure Synapse), BI tools (Power BI, Tableau), and ETL frameworks. The REST API and MCP server enable custom integrations with any information system in your landscape.
