Audit-ready, not audit-weary: How WeCross transforms compliance for GDPR, NIS2 & eIDAS 2.0.

For Chief Compliance Officers (CCOs), Data Protection Officers (DPOs), and legal teams across Europe, the regulatory landscape is a complex, ever-shifting terrain. Mandates like GDPR, the NIS2 Directive, and the upcoming eIDAS 2.0 (with its European Digital Identity Wallet) demand rigorous adherence, transparent processes, and demonstrable proof of compliance. Traditional approaches to compliance, often involving manual data collation, periodic checks, and cumbersome audit preparations, are no longer sustainable. They are costly, error-prone, and leave organizations in a perpetual state of “audit-readiness anxiety.”

WeCross offers a new path forward, leveraging Verifiable Credentials (VCs) and sophisticated “Credential Orchestration” to transform compliance from a burdensome obligation into a streamlined, integrated, and continuously verifiable state.

The compliance officer’s challenge: Navigating a sea of regulations

Compliance leaders face several key challenges. First, GDPR’s emphasis on data minimization raises the question of how to reduce personal data storage while still fulfilling verification requirements. Next, NIS2 brings intense scrutiny to supply chains, demanding reliable and continuous proof of the cybersecurity posture of suppliers and partners. Meanwhile the rollout of eIDAS 2.0 and the European Digital Identity Wallet creates the need to integrate seamlessly with the new wallet infrastructure and manage qualified attestations of identity attributes. Lastly audit processes have grown more complex and compliance teams must find ways to gather irrefutable evidence for auditors without disrupting ongoing operations.

WeCross directly addresses these challenges, aligning with our core claims of ensuring Compliance and providing Up-to-date Data:

WeCross inherently supports GDPR’s data minimization principle by verifying only the credentials presented by users rather than storing copies of their personal data. This user-centric approach ensures that sensitive information remains with the individual and is accessed by your organization only when needed.

For supply chain security under NIS2, WeCross lets your suppliers present verifiable credentials attesting to their security certifications or compliance status. Our platform orchestrates these checks continuously, creating an auditable record of your due diligence efforts without requiring large-scale data storage.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with the emerging European Digital Identity Wallet ecosystem, WeCross empowers your organization to issue and verify qualified attestations of attributes. This readiness for eIDAS 2.0 means you can manage digital identity and attribute verification in full compliance with upcoming regulations.

Audits are transformed from frantic evidence-gathering sessions into streamlined processes in which every piece of critical compliance information whether an employee certification, a supplier security attestation, or proof of consent is provided as a cryptographically verifiable credential. Auditors receive immutable, instantly accessible proof that dramatically reduces both audit time and cost.

Because every verification is based on live credentials, compliance decisions and regulatory reporting rely on accurate, up-to-date data. This live verification model minimizes the risk of errors or penalties arising from outdated information and ensures your compliance posture remains current.

The power of Credential Orchestration for compliance

WeCross isn’t just a VC issuance or verification tool; it’s a “Credential Orchestration” platform. This means it intelligently manages the flow of verifiable information within your existing compliance workflows and backend systems. This integration capability is key to realizing the full compliance benefits without disruptive system overhauls.

For compliance leaders, WeCross offers a strategic advantage: the ability to build a more resilient, transparent, and demonstrably compliant organization. It’s about moving from a reactive, document-centric approach to a proactive, data-centric, and verifiably compliant posture.
