EHDS implementation with Ferrum

Scoped engineering on Ferrum: components that match common EHDS infrastructure themes—your legal and governance work stays separate.

Custom development, project-based, on-premise, Rust

EHDS is an evolving policy area: what applies to your organisation depends on applicable law, your role, and your contracts. We provide engineering and technical orientation. Legal assessment, formal compliance decisions, and DPO work remain with you and your professional advisors.

  • • No managed cloud service; runs in your own infrastructure.
