From DORA’s text to the work it creates

DORA broken into requirements you can act on

An article is not a work item. Regulatory Nexus splits DORA and its technical standards into individual requirements and control objectives, each keeping the article reference it came from.

1
Requirements, not articles
One article holds several obligations. Each becomes its own work item, traceable to the source text.
2
What good looks like
Control objectives are set per requirement, before anyone opens your control library.
3
Read by the team that owns it
The same requirement, seen from ICT, security, procurement, continuity or compliance.
4
Standards where they belong
The RTS or ITS that elaborates an article sits with it. No reading the detail in isolation.
Policy ABC
Partial matchAI-generated

Add an explicit obligation for deployers of emotion recognition and biometric categorisation systems to inform the affected natural persons about the operation of the system.

Your controls against DORA, with the reasoning

Risk & Control matches your existing ICT and outsourcing controls to the DORA control objectives, classifies each objective covered, partially covered or not covered, and says why. Nothing is marked closed without an argument behind it.

1
Reuse what you already have
Most institutions have covered part of DORA through existing ICT, security and outsourcing frameworks. The mapping shows how much.
2
Gaps assigned as tasks
Any objective short of covered can be handed to an owner with a deadline and tracked to completion.
3
Drafted remediation
Where a control or policy clause is missing or too weak, Helia drafts the addition for a compliance officer to approve, reject or reassign.
Recommendation AI
Addition: Add an explicit obligation that human oversight prevents risks to health, safety and fundamental rights from reasonably foreseeable misuse.

The register of information as a data problem

Third-party reporting under DORA is a structured submission, not a document. Data Management treats it as one: the reporting obligation is broken into the fields it asks for, mapped to where that data lives, and reviewed before it is filed.
Fields, mapped to sources
Each item the register asks for is tied to the system or owner that holds it, with the gaps in your own data named as gaps.
Contracts in one place
ICT agreements, addenda and exit clauses sit in Vault, versioned, so the clause behind a register entry can be produced on request.
Renegotiation as work
Contracts missing a required clause become tasks against a named owner and a deadline, tracked in Task Management.

DORA did not stop in January 2025

The obligations move with each new technical standard, ESA guideline and supervisory expectation. Horizon Scanning picks the change up, Impact Assessment says what it means for the requirements you already mapped, and the affected controls are re-tested rather than re-mapped from scratch.

1
Change flagged at source
New DORA-related standards, consultations and guidance are picked up as they publish.
2
Impact scoped to your mapping
The assessment names the requirements, controls and documents the change touches, not the whole framework.
3
One audit trail
Every classification, override and approval since your first DORA assessment stays traceable to the person who made it.

Addition: Add an explicit obligation that human oversight prevents risks to health, safety and fundamental rights from reasonably foreseeable misuse.
