DORA operational resilience

Talk to IGX
01 · Where you start

DORA obligations span ICT risk, incident management, testing, third parties and business operations. The mandate becomes urgent when an audit, regulatory change, incident or assurance request requires the organisation to prove how an obligation operates in practice.

02 · What makes the difference

Critical functions and their supporting dependencies traced in one evidence-backed model give supervisors and boards a chain they can follow, from obligation to retained evidence.

03 · What changes when you get it right

DORA asks financial entities to withstand, respond to and recover from ICT disruption, including governance of ICT third-party dependencies. A connected model makes that a continuous capability rather than an annual exercise.

04 · How to get there

Connect critical functions, ICT assets, third parties, controls, incidents and testing. Change and assurance are managed as connected operational work, with accountable remediation and evidence available by design.

05 · What you gain
  • More complete registers, clearer resilience gaps and faster supervisory evidence assembly
  • Faster regulatory impact assessment
  • Earlier detection of control and evidence gaps
  • Reduced audit and inspection preparation
  • Defensible traceability from duty to execution
06 · Questions to ask yourself
01
Which critical function depends on the most third parties?
02
Where is register information maintained?
03
Can incidents and tests be related back to critical functions?
04
Which obligation is hardest to trace to a named operational owner and control?
05
What evidence would prove implementation rather than policy publication?
07 · What the research says

The EBA states that in-scope financial entities must maintain comprehensive registers of ICT third-party contractual arrangements.

European Banking Authority: DORA Registers of Information

DORA requires financial entities to maintain a sound, comprehensive and documented ICT risk-management framework and addresses incident management, testing and ICT third-party risk.
