Evaluate your online safety compliance readiness
Take our free online safety readiness questionnaire to discover what regulations apply to your platform. This tool has been developed by our partners, Illuminate Tech, ex-regulators who provide tooling for international online safety regulatory compliance.
Safer platforms start with regulatory compliance
Online safety regulation is evolving fast. The EU Digital Services Act (DSA) and the UK’s Online Safety Act (OSA) require platforms to understand their risks, take proportionate action to reduce harm, and clearly evidence how their Trust & Safety operations meet regulatory expectations.
Compliance is no longer a retrospective exercise - it is a foundational part of building and scaling safer platforms. Knowing which regulations apply to you, and what they require in practice, is the first step towards operating with confidence and regulatory readiness.
