Platforms are navigating an unprecedented wave of overlapping obligations from the DSA, DMA, OSA, AI Act, NIS2, and DMCC. Tackling each regulation in isolation creates duplication, inefficiency, and unnecessary risk. This panel will examine how legal and compliance leaders can design a global compliance architecture that unifies these requirements into a single, coherent framework.

• Harmonising compliance obligations across multiple regimes without duplicating effort
• How to build a scalable global compliance architecture that adapts to future regulation
• Practical approaches to embedding compliance into operations while maintaining agility and innovation
• Lessons from leading organisations on managing fragmented regulatory landscapes

For digital platforms that span regions, product lines, and regulatory regimes, piecemeal compliance approaches create inefficiency, duplication, and risk. Leaders need operating models that are scalable, adaptable, and embedded into the business, rather than reactive fixes to each new regulation. This session explores how to build frameworks that balance global consistency with local responsiveness.

• Developing standardised compliance frameworks that can flex to meet global and local regulatory requirements
• Reducing silos and duplication by streamlining processes across legal, policy, and product functions
• Building agility into operating models to adapt quickly as new regulations emerge (safety, data, AI, competition)
• Connecting regional and business unit operations to central oversight for consistency and accountability
