This commitment has driven the country's rapid digital transformation, bringing significant benefits to citizens and government alike. \n\nAs more services moved online and data sharing between institutions increased, Ukraine sought to build on this foundation and:\n- further strengthen public trust\n- proactively address concerns over data privacy\n- encourage greater service uptake.\n\nBy 2021, Ukraine had already established critical digital infrastructure through [Trembita](https:\u002F\u002Fcyber.ee\u002Fresources\u002Fcase-studies\u002Fukraine-trembita\u002F), its e-Government Interoperability System. Implemented by Cybernetica using [UXP technology](https:\u002F\u002Fcyber.ee\u002Fproducts\u002Fsecure-data-exchange\u002F) and adopted by hundreds of organisations, Trembita enables seamless data exchange across government entities, embodying the principle of \"making data run, not people.\"\n\nWhile this platform successfully eliminated institutional silos and accelerated digital service delivery, it created a new imperative: citizens needed visibility into how their personal data was being accessed and used across this interconnected system.\n\nTo address this need, Cybernetica was contracted to develop the Personal Data Access Monitoring Solution (PDAMS), built on [UXP's Access Tracking ](https:\u002F\u002Fcyber.ee\u002Fproducts\u002Fuxp-data-privacy-tools)capabilities. The development drew on lessons from Estonia's Data Tracker system while requiring new development to meet Ukraine's scale and specific requirements. These included:\n- seamless integration with the existing Trembita platform\n- compliance with strict regulatory and software certification standards\n- efficient deployment processes for diverse participating organisations.\n\nThe system is now fully developed, with official launch scheduled for early 2026.\n\n## Personal Data Access Monitoring Solution (PDAMS)\n\nThe PDAMS solution is designed to protect the digital rights of Ukrainian citizens and foster trust in institutions by ensuring adherence to data protection and privacy regulations.\n\nFor citizens, PDAMS will deliver visibility into personal data usage. Through the Diia app, citizens receive real-time notifications and can see exactly who accessed their data and the stated purpose, which organisation published it originally, and which entities collected the data.\nWhen data is accessed through Trembita, PDAMS automatically records comprehensive metadata: timestamp, purpose, specific data fields requested, and requesting entity. This level of overview would be virtually impossible in paper-based systems, making any misuse traceable and addressable.\n\nFor organisations, PDAMS will serve as a compliance tool, providing automated verification that data access aligns with legal requirements and creating standardised audit trails across all entities using Trembita. This reduces the burden on individual organisations to develop their own compliance tracking systems, creating a unified, government-wide approach that ensures accountability while reducing administrative overhead.\n\n## Cybernetica’s contribution\n\nCybernetica's role in the PDAMS project encompassed three primary areas:\n1. technical development\n2. ongoing support and maintenance\n3. security certification.\n\nThe development phase included software development, installation and configuration, as well as integration with the existing Trembita interoperability platform and comprehensive quality assurance.\n\nBeyond technical development, Cybernetica provided user training, technical consultation, and additional support to ensure smooth implementation of the PDAMS. \n\n## Impact of the project\n\nThe impact of the PDAMS solution is threefold.\n\nFor citizens, PDAMS will return control over personal data use, enabling enhanced privacy and data protection. Rather than relying on trust alone, individuals will have clear information about who accesses their personal data and for what purpose. This transparency mechanism is expected to increase trust in Ukrainian digital society as a whole, helping to improve the uptake of digital services that some citizens might otherwise be hesitant to use.\n\nFor institutions, PDAMS streamlines compliance with regulatory and operational requirements. As every request for personal data is registered, organisations benefit from automated documentation of data access without needing to develop their own tracking systems.\n\nAt a national level, PDAMS brings Ukraine closer to European data protection standards. The Access Tracking system is designed to meet the requirements of the GDPR, demonstrating Ukraine's commitment to privacy rights while advancing its European integration objectives. The system enhances control and accountability surrounding data, making misuse easier to detect and deter.\n\n### Looking forward\nAs Ukraine continues its digital journey, PDAMS represents a model for other countries seeking to balance innovation with privacy protection. The system demonstrates that transparency and efficiency can coexist in digital government, and that citizens don’t have to sacrifice privacy for the convenience of online services.\n\n**Want to know more?**\nFor more information about the PDAMS Access Tracking solution, please contact us or continue reading:\n- [DT4UA: Digital Solutions that Change Ukraine](https:\u002F\u002Fega.ee\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F05\u002Fdt4ua_brochure_en.pdf)\n- [Ukraine is digital by design: Resilience and trust, embedded in governance](https:\u002F\u002Fega.ee\u002Fukraine-digital-by-design\u002F)\n",{"featuredImage":13},{"documentId":14,"url":15,"alternativeText":16,"width":17,"height":18,"formats":19,"mime":24},"p66tbmd5li9a3g0dhwlxe9y1","\u002Fuploads\u002FUkraine_flag_36bcc416ff.jpg","",2000,1334,{"large":20,"small":29,"medium":36,"xlarge":42,"xsmall":49,"thumbnail":56},{"ext":21,"url":22,"hash":23,"mime":24,"name":25,"path":10,"size":26,"width":27,"height":28},".jpg","\u002Fuploads\u002Flarge_Ukraine_flag_36bcc416ff.jpg","large_Ukraine_flag_36bcc416ff","image\u002Fjpeg","large_Ukraine flag.jpg",28.94,1000,667,{"ext":21,"url":30,"hash":31,"mime":24,"name":32,"path":10,"size":33,"width":34,"height":35},"\u002Fuploads\u002Fsmall_Ukraine_flag_36bcc416ff.jpg","small_Ukraine_flag_36bcc416ff","small_Ukraine flag.jpg",9.82,500,334,{"ext":21,"url":37,"hash":38,"mime":24,"name":39,"path":10,"size":40,"width":41,"height":34},"\u002Fuploads\u002Fmedium_Ukraine_flag_36bcc416ff.jpg","medium_Ukraine_flag_36bcc416ff","medium_Ukraine flag.jpg",17.9,750,{"ext":21,"url":43,"hash":44,"mime":24,"name":45,"path":10,"size":46,"width":47,"height":48},"\u002Fuploads\u002Fxlarge_Ukraine_flag_36bcc416ff.jpg","xlarge_Ukraine_flag_36bcc416ff","xlarge_Ukraine flag.jpg",82.59,1920,1281,{"ext":21,"url":50,"hash":51,"mime":24,"name":52,"path":10,"size":53,"width":54,"height":55},"\u002Fuploads\u002Fxsmall_Ukraine_flag_36bcc416ff.jpg","xsmall_Ukraine_flag_36bcc416ff","xsmall_Ukraine flag.jpg",1.03,64,43,{"ext":21,"url":57,"hash":58,"mime":24,"name":59,"path":10,"size":60,"width":61,"height":62},"\u002Fuploads\u002Fthumbnail_Ukraine_flag_36bcc416ff.jpg","thumbnail_Ukraine_flag_36bcc416ff","thumbnail_Ukraine flag.jpg",3.62,234,156,{"title":64,"slug":65,"icon":66},"Government","government",{"icon":65},[],{"metaTitle":69,"metaDescription":70,"shareImage":71},"Cybernetica creates access-tracking technology for Ukraine","Explore how Ukraine implemented PDAMS with Cybernetica to enable real-time personal data tracking across government, advancing GDPR compliance and citizen trust.",{"formats":72},{"large":73,"small":74,"medium":75,"xlarge":76,"xsmall":77,"thumbnail":78},{"ext":21,"url":22,"hash":23,"mime":24,"name":25,"path":10,"size":26,"width":27,"height":28},{"ext":21,"url":30,"hash":31,"mime":24,"name":32,"path":10,"size":33,"width":34,"height":35},{"ext":21,"url":37,"hash":38,"mime":24,"name":39,"path":10,"size":40,"width":41,"height":34},{"ext":21,"url":43,"hash":44,"mime":24,"name":45,"path":10,"size":46,"width":47,"height":48},{"ext":21,"url":50,"hash":51,"mime":24,"name":52,"path":10,"size":53,"width":54,"height":55},{"ext":21,"url":57,"hash":58,"mime":24,"name":59,"path":10,"size":60,"width":61,"height":62},1788355367353]
