DORA — operational resilience evidence on one platform.
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554) became applicable on 17 January 2025 across the EU financial sector and its critical ICT third parties. DORA harmonises ICT risk-management, incident reporting, threat-led penetration testing, third-party risk, and information sharing across banking, insurance, investment firms, crypto-asset service providers, and more.

What DORA requires.
Chapter II (Articles 5-15) — ICT risk management framework: governance, identification, protection + prevention, detection, response + recovery, learning + evolving, communication.
Chapter III (Articles 17-23) — ICT-related incident reporting: classification, initial / intermediate / final reports to the competent authority within prescribed windows.
Chapter IV (Articles 24-27) — Digital operational resilience testing: programme, threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) for significant entities every 3 years.
Chapter V (Articles 28-44) — Managing ICT third-party risk: register of contractual arrangements, due-diligence, contractual provisions, oversight framework for critical ICT third-party providers (CTPPs).
Chapter VI (Articles 45-49) — Information-sharing arrangements.
How TeamSync addresses DORA.
1. ICT risk management documentation as TeamSync structured base.
ICT risk policies, control evidence, risk-register entries modelled as structured TeamSync documents.
2. Incident-reporting workflow.
Incident classification, initial / intermediate / final report generation per ESA-published templates; submission tracking; timeline evidence anchored.
3. Third-party register.
[Article 28] register of contractual arrangements with required attributes (criticality, function supported, data location, exit strategy, etc.); maintained continuously, exportable on demand.
4. TLPT evidence vault.
Threat-led penetration testing scope, methodology, results, remediation tracked with audit anchors.
5. Information-sharing artefacts.
Article 45 information-sharing structured for participation in industry exchanges.
6. Audit ledger anchors all DORA evidence.
Merkle audit ledger anchors evidence; supervisor inquiry (ECB / EIOPA / ESMA / national competent authorities) answered from cryptographic record.
