Data Providers Overview

Data Providers, also called Data Holders, are organisations that offer data, usually user-permissioned, to other organisations -- Data Receivers.

With Raidiam, Data Providers:

  • Establish secure data exchange channels by using OAuth, mutual TLS, and more.

  • Authenticate Data Receivers and verify that the organisation trying to access the data really is a part of the ecosystem or federation.

  • Add their Authorisation Servers enabling Data Receivers to discover their configuration and get access tokens -- a mean to access data with OAuth.

  • Publish APIs (like data APIs or consent APIs) with ease and using endpoint discovery that automatically defines the available endpoints required by ecosystem or federation.

  • Prove and advertise their compliance with various security profiles, data profiles, customer journey requirements, and more.

  • Streamline the onboarding process for organisations and partners to access data in a standardized way.

If your organisation wants to share data, see the Provide Data getting started guide to learn how quickly add authorisation servers, publish your organisations APIs, and more.

A Data Provider, as an organisation, is not limited only to offering their data but can also act as a Data Receiver to get data from other organisations to enhance its services and offering. If this is a case for your organisation, see the Receive Data getting started guide.
