Data Brokering
Business-unit scale data under formal governance. A transaction process built for procurement, security review and data-protection assessment.
Enterprise organisations hold the deepest record of specialist work there is: thousands of people across regulated functions, years of ticket, contract and transaction history, and expert judgement recorded at a scale no buyer can assemble anywhere else.
They also carry the most governance around it. Data classification, retention policy, regional data-protection obligations, customer contract restrictions and security review all apply before a single record can be considered for sale. A buyer cannot work through that process for you. Someone on the company's side has to.
We act as the coordinating party on the company's side. We work with data governance, legal, privacy and security to establish what is eligible, run the inventory and valuation by business unit, specify the de-identification standard, and manage buyer diligence and contracting to your procurement requirements.
At this scale structures are usually licensing rather than outright sale, can be set up as controlled access rather than data transfer, and are staged by business unit so early approvals produce revenue while later ones are still in review. We are not legal counsel; your counsel and privacy teams own every approval.
What the process covers
At enterprise scale the data is never the constraint. Governance is.
We are built to work through it with your teams, not around them.
How We Run It
Governance first
Eligibility is settled before valuation, not after. We start with your data classification, retention rules and customer contract terms, so nothing is priced that cannot be sold.
One coordinating party
Buyers, transaction partners and your internal teams each have one point of contact. Security questionnaires, diligence requests and contract redlines run through a single, documented process.
Staged by business unit
The first unit to clear review goes to market first. Revenue starts on the approvals you have while the rest of the organisation completes its own.
Licensing over transfer
Recurring licences and controlled-access arrangements keep the asset yours, keep the audit trail clean, and keep the revenue recurring as the data refreshes.
How It Works
With governance, legal and privacy, we establish which data is eligible under customer contracts, retention policy and data-protection obligations.
By business unit: what is held, what it is likely worth, and to which buyers, before anything is listed.
We specify the de-identification standard and audit trail, and answer security and procurement questionnaires alongside your teams.
The first unit to clear review goes to market first, on licensing or controlled-access terms negotiated through our transaction partners.
Other Segments
Owner-led businesses with years of records in a handful of systems. One decision maker, a short process, and proceeds from an asset already on the books.
