01 · What changes
Requests will arrive through government portals.
Today, a cross-border request comes into your own intake, on your own process. From August 18, authorities in any EU member state can send binding orders through a government portal in the state where you register: produce data in 10 days, or 8 hours in an emergency. Miss one, and the exposure runs to 2% of worldwide annual turnover.

02 · What providers have to do
You must register, designate, and respond in time.
Every provider in scope registers in one member state, its home base, and designates a contact empowered to receive and execute orders. From then on, every EU order routes through that state’s system: a second front door your team has to watch, on the regulation’s calendar, not your office’s. The clock starts when the order lands, not when someone sees it.
03 · Where the guide comes in
This guide walks through the process.
Ready to Receive covers the orders and the four data categories in plain language, where every member state actually stands, what operating the portal asks of your team, and the one step that keeps requests in the process you already run. It closes with a readiness checklist you can run this week. Accurate enough to brief counsel, plain enough to brief the board.
