I’m not sure what “DFM” refers to in your question, and “EDPS case” could mean different things depending on the context. If you mean the European Data Protection Supervisor’s investigations , a case is typically identified by a formal investigation decision and a case number, such as the EDPS listing “investigation case 2025-0787” on its investigations page.

If you mean EDPS investigations

An EDPS case is usually identifiable by:

  • A formal decision to open an investigation.
  • A case number in the EDPS format.
  • Public listing on the EDPS investigations page.
  • Supporting documents such as decisions, announcements, or final decisions.

What to look for

The EDPS says it may start an investigation when it has a strong suspicion of a data-protection infringement, and the investigation ends with a final decision on whether an infringement occurred.

If you are checking a document or portal, look for wording like “investigation case” , decision , announcement letter , or final decision.

If you meant something else

If DFM is a specific system, forum, or internal workflow, send me:

  • what DFM stands for,
  • where you saw “EDPS,” and
  • a screenshot or sample text if possible.

Then I can help you identify the case more precisely.
