EC funded project

Nier Soluzioni Informatiche (NSI), with the support of Orlandi-Leone Studio Legale, launched U2PIA, a disruptive cloud platform designed to enable the creation of in-depth analysis of the risks which Personal Data are subject to through a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA). The platform will address the requirements of the upcoming mandatory European regulation (EU) 2016/679 on Privacy Assessment that all private and public EU companies must meet, to avoid the large penalties and severe sanctions that they could suffer if proper action is not taken (failure to comply put the business at a risk of a sanction up to 20 million euros or, if higher, up to 4% of annual worldwide turnover).

U2PIA addresses the EU goal of accelerating the realisation of PIAs with a simple, didactic and affordable cloud-based tool that has no competitors as of today, pushing small and medium enterprises towards compliancy with the new EU directive. Moreover, we address effectively the demand coming from more than 20 million SMEs in Europe in the need of such tool with a wide portfolio of solutions that perfectly adapts to each targeted segment (DPOs/Consultants, SMEs, Public Instances) considering their specific needs and budget limitations.
U2PIA business opportunity will let us monetize our knowledge in ICT risk and privacy assessments through a full portfolio of B2B services customised for each segment. An opportunity that we value in a European Total Available Market of 200,000+ public instances, 250,000+ consultants and DPOs (Data Protection Officers) and 21 million private companies, all of them in the need of affordable and educational ICT risk assessment tools valid to perform the mandatory PIA.
