DORA compliance consultants and resilience specialists

DORA compliance consultants assess applicable requirements against your ICT risk management framework and turn findings into assigned remediation work. They map controls to regulatory obligations and identify missing evidence, so management can distinguish documented policy from controls that operate in practice.

Work can cover ICT asset inventories and business-service dependencies, alongside risk assessments and management reporting. Specialists update policies with control owners and maintain evidence for internal audit or supervisory requests. Scope reflects your entity's obligations and the applicable proportionality requirements.

Incident response specialists adapt operational runbooks to DORA incident classification and reporting requirements. They define escalation responsibilities and prepare reporting templates aligned with applicable regulatory technical standards and implementing technical standards.

Practical support includes connecting service-desk records with security incident workflows, establishing evidence capture and documenting reporting decisions. Tabletop exercises test handovers between technical responders and compliance teams. Specialists can also review actual incidents and update procedures where reporting deadlines or classification decisions exposed gaps.

Digital operational resilience specialists validate whether critical business services can recover within agreed recovery time and recovery point objectives. They review dependency maps and run restoration exercises against documented recovery procedures, recording failures as technical remediation tasks.

Testing can include vulnerability assessments and scenario-based disruption exercises. Where threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) applies, specialists support scoping and coordinate remediation with qualified testers. Ongoing support covers retesting after infrastructure changes and maintaining evidence that identified weaknesses have been addressed.

DORA third-party risk consultants assess ICT supplier dependencies and maintain the evidence needed for ongoing oversight. They work with procurement and legal teams to address gaps without treating a signed contract as proof of operational resilience.

• Register of information: Structure supplier and contractual records using applicable DORA templates, with validation checks and ownership for updates.
• Supplier assessment and exit planning: Review concentration risk and subcontracting dependencies. Assess contractual provisions against DORA requirements and develop testable exit plans for services supporting critical or important functions.
