In a coordinated action, the board sets a specific priority for national DPAs to follow. The results of the national enforcement activities are aggregated and analyzed to gain deeper insight into the issue and enable targeted follow-up at national and EU level if needed, the EDPB noted.

Prior coordinated actions involved the use of cloud-based services by the public sector (2023); designation and position of data protection officers (2024); and implementation of data subjects' right of access by controllers (2025), the board noted.

This year, the EDPB also launched coordinated enforcement on the right to be forgotten under the GDPR, with a report due in coming months.
