About
Building compliance infrastructure for connected products
Dativo exists to make EU Data Act compliance operationally feasible for every connected product manufacturer — from a 50-person OEM running Docker Compose to a €5B industrial group deploying on Kubernetes.
Our Mission
The EU Data Act (Regulation (EU) 2023/2854) represents a fundamental shift in how manufacturers must handle the data generated by their connected products. Since September 2025, customers have a legal right to access the data produced by the products they purchase, and to share it with third parties of their choice.
This creates a complex operational challenge: manufacturers must build infrastructure to register equipment, map data sources, classify trade secrets, and fulfill data access requests — continuously, for every customer, every product line, and every new data source. Doing this manually doesn't scale.
Dativo exists to solve this problem. We provide the open-core platform that makes EU Data Act compliance operational, auditable, and scalable — so manufacturers can focus on building great products.
Our Principles
Built by engineers who use AI to move fast
We ship in weeks what others plan for quarters. Our team embraces AI as a development accelerator — not just a product feature, but a way we build. The result is faster iteration and higher quality.
Open Source Commitment
We believe the compliance engine should be transparent and auditable. The Community Edition is genuinely useful — not a lead gen trap. The commercial features exist because enterprise compliance, advanced integrations, and managed infrastructure are genuinely harder problems worth paying for.
Regulatory Depth
We don't build generic data tools. Every feature is designed around specific Data Act articles and their practical implications for manufacturers.
Industrial Focus
We understand manufacturing environments — the data volumes, the integration complexity, the deployment constraints. CISOs at industrial OEMs won't send equipment telemetry to third-party clouds. That's why we offer self-hosted deployment with source transparency.
Built by Unio Lab
Dativo is a product of Unio Lab, a spec-driven product lab based in Germany, France, and Tunisia. Unio Lab builds production platforms using a rigorous methodology: human-authored specifications as the source of truth, AI agents handling implementation under contract, and human engineers governing every architecture decision and quality gate.
Dativo was specified, built, and shipped by a two-person team in weeks — not because corners were cut, but because specification eliminates rework. The same lifecycle that produced Dativo is available to any team with a system that needs engineering.
