DMA Compliance Monitoring for Affected Businesses
The EU Digital Markets Act creates a need for tools that help businesses monitor whether gatekeeper platforms (Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft) are complying with DMA requirements. Companies relying on these platforms need to track interoperability mandates, data portability rules, and anti-circumvention provisions to file formal complaints. The November 2022 enforcement start and 2024 full compliance deadlines create urgent timing.
Problem Statement
Businesses dependent on app stores, payment systems, and platform access currently have no systematic way to track whether gatekeepers are complying with DMA requirements. Manual monitoring of platform policy changes, API modifications, and Terms of Service updates is time-consuming and error-prone. Without documented evidence, businesses cannot file effective complaints with the European Commission.
The Idea
A compliance monitoring tool for businesses and lawyers who need to track Digital Markets Act violations by major platforms, to document evidence for regulatory complaints and internal compliance.
Why Now
The DMA entered force November 1, 2022, with full enforcement starting March 2024. Platform companies are actively preparing compliance plans, and affected businesses need tools to monitor whether gatekeepers are truly complying or finding workarounds. The first enforcement decisions are expected in 2024, creating immediate demand for evidence collection.
Target User
In-house legal teams at companies distributing through app stores, external counsel specializing in EU competition law, regulatory affairs managers at SaaS companies, and compliance officers at businesses affected by platform gatekeepers.
Target Market
EU-based businesses and US companies with EU customers who distribute through Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Marketplace, or depend on Meta/Google advertising and messaging platforms.
