Digital Regulatory Timeline

The profusion of digital regulation in the UK and at EU level creates the twin challenges of:

1. keeping track of relevant regulatory developments, in a time of rapid change and in an enforcement climate that is hotting up across the UK and EU; and
2. identifying which pieces of legislation will actually affect your business.

Our multi-jurisdictional digital regulatory team have developed this digital regulatory timeline to help you keep track of developments on the horizon and identify which pieces of legislation could impact on your business.

It offers an overview of major digital regulation that is on the horizon, is in the legislative process, or is coming into force soon. We update it regularly, and add new content as it comes into view on the horizon.

Separately, we monitor developments around specific topics such as dark patterns, subscriptions and digital inclusion.  

If you have any questions, or would like any further information, please do get in touch.

In addition to this timeline, our multi-jurisdictional digital regulatory team has developed a series of products to help you navigate this area. You can see them here. They include:

• Digital regulation health check – audits your business's compliance with relevant digital regulations

• Product launches – ensures your product is legally compliant when it launches

• Horizon-scanning – keeps you updated and informed about legislation on the horizon which will impact your business

• Scoping exercise – establishes whether your business or certain products are within scope of a particular piece of regulation

• Impact assessment – determines compliance of the business or a product against a piece of legislation and identifies any gaps in compliance, evaluates the risk and proposes mitigations and solutions

All of our advice is provided in a practical, useable and product-team-friendly manner. You can find out more here.
