Standard Guidance

Reach EU Digital Markets Act (DMA) readiness without rebuilding your policy programme

The EU Digital Markets Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/1925) sets rules for "gatekeepers" — large digital platforms providing core platform services. Imposes obligations + prohibitions to ensure contestable + fair digital markets including interoperability, data portability, anti-self-preferencing + transparent app stores. Enforced by EU Commission. Fines up to 10% global turnover (20% for repeats). Indirectly affects retail through marketplace + advertising rules. Quick Policy maps EU Digital Markets Act (DMA) into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs - and keeps it current between audits.

Why EU Digital Markets Act (DMA) matters for your operating model

EU Digital Markets Act (DMA) doesn't just dictate document templates - it shapes which controls auditors test, what evidence they ask for, and which gaps surface first during diligence. Getting it wrong creates renewal slippage, audit findings, and stalled customer deals.

  • Issued by EU Commission and primarily enforced in EU.
  • Directly shapes policy families including Digital Services, Competition — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
  • Common artifacts include Policy.
  • Obligation model: Conditional — meaning you need defensible reasoning for in-scope vs out-of-scope decisions, not just signed policies.

How Quick Policy helps you stand up EU Digital Markets Act (DMA)
