RADAR - Regulatory Assessment for Digital Service Act Risks

RADAR is a standardised framework for identifying, categorising, and reporting Digital Service Act (DSA) compliance issues across digital platforms.

🎯 What is RADAR?

RADAR provides a systematic approach to DSA compliance assessment through:

• Standardised infringement tags (e.g., cr_01, dp_02)
• Observable behaviours for each infringement type
• DSA article mappings for legal reference
• Machine-readable formats for automated analysis

📊 Current Framework Statistics

• 14 Categories covering all major DSA compliance areas
• 89 Infringement Types with unique identifiers
• 300+ Observable Behaviours for practical assessment
• 35+ DSA Articles mapped to specific violations

🚀 Quick Start
