What to do this quarter

Concrete next steps for Cyprus businesses, in the order that minimises legal exposure fastest.

Run a baseline WCAG 2.1 AA scan. You can't fix what you can't see, and most enforcement actions target the same handful of failures (contrast, alt text, form labels, keyboard navigation).
Publish an accessibility statement. This is a separate EAA obligation under EN 301 549 — every consumer- facing site needs one, and several countries (notably France) attach a separate fine for missing it. Free generator →
Identify your highest-risk surfaces first. If you sell anything online, your checkout matters more than your blog. Prioritise the user journeys that produce revenue.
Document remediation. The fine ranges above describe maximum statutory penalties. In practice, regulators across the EU look at good-faith effort and a clear remediation plan when deciding what to actually impose.
