1. The Online Safety Act (OSA) 2026
With Ofcom now fully enforcing codes of practice, any service that allows user interaction or search must proactively manage “illegal content.”
Key Requirement: Annual Illegal Content Risk Assessments and, for larger platforms, transparency reporting.
How Enactia Achieves This: * Risk Assessment Module: Enactia provides built-in templates specifically for the OSA to identify and mitigate risks of harmful content.
Incident Logging: Track and document content takedowns to provide an audit trail for Ofcom.
2. Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA)
This act has revolutionized how Companies House operates, requiring mandatory identity verification for all directors and “Persons with Significant Control” (PSCs).
Key Requirement: Enhanced “Failure to Prevent Fraud” corporate offence and verified-filer models.
How Enactia Achieves This: * Entity Management: Centralize the identification and verification documents for all company officers.
Internal Controls Declaration: Use Enactia’s Compliance Universe to monitor and declare the effectiveness of material controls, a new requirement for premium listed companies.
3. The Bribery Act 2010 (2026 Focus)
The UK remains one of the strictest jurisdictions for anti-corruption. A “Failure to Prevent Bribery” is a strict liability offence unless you can prove you had “Adequate Procedures” in place.
Key Requirement: Proportionality, Top-level commitment, and Due Diligence.
How Enactia Achieves This:
Policy Management: Distribute anti-bribery policies to all employees and third parties with automated “read and accept” tracking.
Vendor Due Diligence: Automatically vet suppliers and associated persons to ensure they meet your ethical standards.
4. Modern Slavery Act 2015 (Updated Guidance)
For organizations with a turnover of £36m+, reporting on supply chain transparency is now more granular with the 2025 “Level 1 and Level 2” disclosure templates.
Key Requirement: Annual Modern Slavery Statements and deeper supply chain mapping.
How Enactia Achieves This:
Supply Chain Mapping: Visualize your vendor tiers to identify high-risk geographical zones.
Disclosure Templates: Use Enactia’s reporting engine to generate statements that align with the latest UK government international reporting templates.
