Regulatory Intelligence
& Digital Trust
Most websites violate at least one EU regulation without knowing it. Cookie consent fines reach €600,000. The European Accessibility Act has been enforceable since June 2025 — France filed the first lawsuits within ten days.
Elgarde continuously monitors your website for privacy, cookie consent, and accessibility risks, delivering proof-grade reports with precise statutory references across jurisdictions.
Europe — ePrivacy, EAA, GDPR, WCAG 2.1 across all 27 EU member states (jurisdiction-specific rules applied)
Continuous monitoring — alerts when compliance can break, even when regulators introduce new requirements

Why Elgarde
Compliance that scales with your business, not your budget
Whether you're a 5-person startup or an established enterprise, Elgarde gives you regulatory intelligence — continuously, automatically, across jurisdictions.
The cost of non-compliance
Fines, lawsuits, and complaints are not hypothetical
Regulators fine. Competitors file complaints. Disability rights organizations sue. The Dutch DPA is scanning 10,000 websites for cookie violations. France's CNIL issued 69 fast-track fines in 2024 alone.
Every jurisdiction, one dashboard
Cookie consent rules differ between the Netherlands and Portugal. Accessibility deadlines differ by member state. Elgarde knows which regulations apply to your site and cites the exact statutes in your reports.

Compliance can break after any website update
A CMP update, a new analytics script, a redesigned form — any change can introduce violations. Elgarde monitors continuously and alerts you the moment something breaks. Not quarterly audits. Not annual reviews. Always on.
- — Continuous monitoring — stays compliant even as regulations evolve
- — Instant alerts on new violations
- — Documented diligence — proof you actively monitor compliance, a strong defense if claims arise
Evidence your lawyer and your developer both understand
Every finding comes with a HAR network capture, annotated screenshots, the specific statute violated, and step-by-step remediation. Hand the PDF to legal for audit prep, or to your developer for the fix.

French EAA enforcement (2025)
France filed accessibility lawsuits against four major retailers within ten days of the European Accessibility Act becoming enforceable. Fines reach up to €100,000 per country — and each member state enforces independently.
The EAA changes everything. Since June 2025, the European Accessibility Act makes website accessibility legally enforceable across all 27 EU member states. France already filed the first lawsuits against four major retailers within ten days. Fines reach up to €100,000 per country — and each member state enforces independently. See common violations →
