EU-facing brand with social presence but no DSA / transparency report link

This check looks for a transparency or DSA compliance page, DSA being the EU's Digital Services Act, on sites that have a significant social presence and deal with EU-based visitors. This site was flagged as EU-facing with social activity but no transparency report or DSA-related link anywhere, such as in the footer.

Why this matters

The EU Digital Services Act sets transparency reporting duties for online platforms and intermediary services, and those duties vary by the size and type of service. Most brands are not covered. Some enterprise buyers may still ask smaller providers about data-handling and content policies during procurement, and a transparency page can help answer those questions. Check with a legal adviser whether the DSA applies to you.

How to fix it

Your legal and marketing teams should publish a transparency or DSA report page that covers which platforms you operate on, your content moderation approach, and any ad-network disclosures. Even a starter version of this report is enough to answer most procurement questions, and the engine estimates about a week to research and write it.
