DORA’s asking. Does your evidence have an answer?
DORA expects in-scope financial entities to show that digital resilience works in practice, not just in policy. This guide helps EU financial teams and their ICT partners check the evidence behind ICT risk, incident reporting, resilience testing, provider oversight, and the register of information.
Turn DORA requirements into evidence you can show
Understanding DORA is the start. Proving your approach works is the test. Evidence often sits across spreadsheets, provider records, and team workflows, until someone asks you to join the dots. Use this guide to spot evidence gaps and choose a practical next step.

What you’ll learn in this readiness guide
-
Build a clearer view of ICT risk
See what to check across ICT risk records, control mapping, ownership, treatment actions, and management oversight. The guide helps you assess whether risk information is current and usable, not just documented.
-
Make incident processes easier to evidence
Review how ICT-related incidents are captured, classified, and escalated. Check whether your team can show its decisions and follow-up actions against the process it has defined.
-
Keep resilience testing connected to follow-through
Assess whether testing is planned around relevant services and risks. The guide covers recording results and making sure findings lead to tracked improvements.
-
Understand your ICT provider dependencies
Identify the providers supporting important services and functions. Review how your organisation records due diligence, contractual information, ongoing oversight, and exit planning.
-
Prepare a reliable register of information
Check whether provider, service, and entity records are complete and maintained. The guide also helps you assess whether the data can be validated and prepared for export without a last-minute rebuild.
-
Spot evidence gaps before they become urgent
Use the practical checklist and readiness questions to identify missing, outdated, or difficult-to-retrieve evidence. Focus first on the areas where your organisation has the least visibility.
