DORA readiness and compliance audit
Ensure your institution’s full compliance with DORA with a comprehensive audit that will provide you with a ready roadmap and evidence for auditors. Our experts will conduct an in-depth gap analysis of your organization and help you prepare for a financial oversight audit.
Having procedures on paper is not the same as being able to defend them against an auditor.
The deadline for implementing DORA has passed. Now the time for verification has begun. The Financial Supervisory Authority (FSC) will systematically check whether financial institutions have realistically implemented the regulation’s stringent requirements. Lack of solid evidence of action in key areas is the easiest way to a negative audit result and severe sanctions.
First inspections will focus on third-party risk management and real operational resilience
The scenario that is happening now
The CISO at a large insurance company receives an official letter from the FSA announcing an audit in the area of DORA implementation. Management immediately requests an urgent report confirming full compliance.
The CISO realizes that while many procedures have been implemented to “tick off” requirements on time, their practical application in the organization is still limping along. ICT vendor management documentation is incomplete, and resilience test plans have yet to be fully tested. A feverish catch-up process is beginning.
In the event of an audit, are you able to provide complete documentation and solid evidence within 48 hours that your company is realistically managing digital resilience in accordance with DORA?
Our solution: a comprehensive audit and roadmap to full compliance
Our DORA compliance audit is a comprehensive service that systematically verifies every aspect of your digital operational resilience required by the regulation. We don’t leave you with a list of problems – we provide you with a ready-made treatment plan that takes you step-by-step to full compliance.
Our approach is based on 3 pillars:
An in-depth assessment of ICT risk management
We conduct a detailed analysis of your digital risk management framework. We verify that your policies, procedures and technical measures are fully compliant with DORA.
Third-party risk management audit
We perform an analysis of your ICT vendor management process. We review your supplier registry, risk assessment processes, contract provisions and contingency plans.
Verification of resilience testing program
We assess whether your safety testing program complies with DORA requirements. We analyze the scope, frequency and results of past testing.
Our audit process in 5 steps
From documentation analysis to a ready-made action plan.
Opening workshop and context analysis
We start by meeting with your team (Compliance, IT, Security) to understand your specifics and define the precise scope of the audit.
In-depth analysis of documentation (gap analysis)
Our experts analyze existing documentation: policies, procedures, supplier agreements and reports, comparing them with DORA requirements.
Interviews with key employees
We conduct a series of interviews with process owners to verify that procedures written on paper are realistically applied in practice.
Development of a report with a road map
You get a detailed report with Gap Analysis and, most importantly, a prioritized roadmap with specific tasks.
Presentation of results to the board
We discuss the results of the audit with management and key people, explaining the risks and helping to plan the implementation of the recommendations.
