The OSA Risk Gauge guides users through the key requirements of the OSA, helping them determine whether their services are likely to be caught by the legislation, whether they fall into category user territory (with more onerous compliance obligations), or whether they may qualify for an exemption. The main benefit of the OSA Risk Gauge is that it provides a clear, accessible, and efficient way for businesses to understand their regulatory exposure and compliance requirements under the OSA, enabling them to take timely and appropriate action to manage legal and reputational risks.
