DMA compliance, fair and contestable markets
Track gatekeeper obligations and structure the compliance reports the European Commission expects.
The Digital Markets Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/1925) sets obligations for gatekeepers: large platforms the European Commission designates for core platform services such as app stores, search, messaging and operating systems. Gatekeepers must comply within six months of designation and report annually. Fines reach 10% of worldwide turnover, or 20% for repeat infringements.
TL;DR
- Designation thresholds: €7.5bn EU turnover or €75bn market value, plus 45 million monthly EU end users.
- Obligations apply six months after designation.
- Gatekeepers file compliance reports with the Commission and update them at least annually.
- Fines up to 10% of worldwide turnover, or 20% for repeat infringements.

Operating effectiveness is recorded over time, ready for your observation window.
Report & hand off
Organized, current evidence is packaged for auditors and stakeholders.
