The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) released its Annual Report 2025, outlining a year of heightened activity and the launch of its expanded mandate under the EU Digital Rulebook. The report highlights the creation of a dedicated AI Unit and the pilot of an AI regulatory sandbox that allows EU institutions to test AI systems under guidance. It also records the highest number of legislative consultations—145 in total—covering topics from digital identity to GDPR amendments. The EDPS maintained its supervisory role with investigations and audits, including a probe into the European Commission’s use of Microsoft 365 and reviews of key IT systems at Europol, Frontex and Eurojust. The authority also joined the Inter‑Institutional Cybersecurity Board and began preparing for its role as market surveillance authority under the AI Act. Full report available on the EDPS website.
