DORA · Evidence & Implementation Kit
DORA is in force and your competent authority can ask. Get supervision-ready across all five pillars without building it from scratch.
Every core DORA obligation handed to you as an adopt-ready measure, with the exact evidence a supervisor examines and the finding they most often note. You personalize it, assemble your resilience file, and you can answer the regulator.
Supervision-ready in a weekend, not a quarter.
Here is the honest situation. DORA has applied since January 2025, and your competent authority now expects digital operational resilience across ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, and ICT third-party risk. The problem is producing it: a board-owned ICT risk framework, an incident classification and reporting process, a testing programme, a register of information on every ICT provider, and contracts with the mandated clauses. A consultant charges forty to a hundred thousand euros. Doing it yourself is months while the deadline is already behind you.
This Kit removes the build. It is the core DORA obligation set and evidence guide, already written, that you personalize in a weekend.
What you get, the moment you buy
26
Core obligations as adopt-ready measures. Every core article across the five pillars, written as real compliance documentation language. Personalize the placeholders and you are done.
26
Evidence-they-examine checklists. For each article, exactly what a competent authority examines, plus the finding they most often note, and the practical trigger that matters.
1
DORA Control Matrix, pre-built. Every obligation by pillar in a working spreadsheet, ready to record your measure, in-place status and evidence location.
1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each obligation and the workbook tells you your supervision readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.
The proportionality carve-out (the simplified framework in Article 16) and the third-party contractual and register requirements are called out clearly. Editable Word and Excel files, aligned to Regulation 2022/2554.
The third-party register catches most entities out
DORA requires a register of information on every ICT third-party arrangement, and contracts with mandated clauses covering audit, subcontracting, and exit. Supervisors ask for the register first. This Kit gives you the register structure and the contractual checklist, so the request does not become a scramble.
What one measure looks like
This is Article 19, reporting of major ICT-related incidents. All 26 are built to this depth.
Article 19 Reporting of major ICT-related incidents
Adopt this measure
[Financial entity] reports major ICT-related incidents to its [competent authority] using the common templates, submitting an initial notification, an intermediate report as the situation develops, and a final report with root cause once the incident is resolved, within the timelines set by the regulatory technical standards. The process defines who classifies, who approves, and who submits, and retains all reports as evidence.
In practice
Reporting is a three-stage flow (initial, intermediate, final) against defined timelines, so your classification decision in Article 18 has to be fast and defensible.
Evidence a competent authority examines
- The incident reporting procedure with roles and timelines
- Submitted initial, intermediate, and final reports for past major incidents
- The classification records that triggered reporting
- Evidence reports met the required timelines
Common finding they note: the entity has an incident process but no defined path to classify and report a major incident to the authority within the required timelines, so reporting is late or incomplete.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. Generic templates give you policy words. This tells you exactly what a competent authority examines and the finding they note, for every obligation. That is what survives supervision.
- All five pillars. ICT risk management, incident reporting, testing, third-party risk, and information sharing, with the register and contractual detail that trips most entities.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. The ICT risk and resilience controls map to ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and ISO 22301, and the mappings show you where.
Who buys this

✓ A measure for every core DORA obligation
✓ A completed DORA control matrix
✓ The evidence a competent authority examines
✓ Your third-party register and clauses scoped
✓ A readiness percentage and a fix list
✓ A defensible major-incident reporting path
