Who we help

Financial organisations

Financial organisations in scope — banks, payment and e-money institutions, investment firms, insurers, crypto-asset service providers and other financial entities — must show how they manage technology risk under DORA. We help you see where you stand, organise the evidence and keep it current.

The benefit: you are prepared for supervision and audit, management has clear decisions, and evidence and fixes are kept current and tracked.

Scope and price are confirmed in writing before work starts.

Discuss your case

Is this you?

  • A credit institution, payment or e-money institution, investment firm, insurer or reinsurer, insurance intermediary, crypto-asset service provider, fund manager, crowdfunding provider or another entity listed in DORA (EU Digital Operational Resilience Act) Art. 2.
  • Your supervisor, auditor or management body asks how you manage ICT (information and communication technology) risk, incidents, testing and suppliers.
  • Some smaller entities apply a simplified ICT risk framework (DORA Art. 16) — we confirm which regime applies to you.

Scope exemptions apply: for example, insurance intermediaries that are micro, small or medium-sized enterprises are excluded (DORA Art. 2(3)). We confirm whether DORA applies to your organisation.

What DORA asks of you

ICT risk framework

Governance, policies and controls for technology risk, approved and overseen by the management body, which remains responsible (Art. 5–16).

Incident reporting

Major ICT-related incidents are classified and reported to the competent authority on strict deadlines — the initial notification is due within hours (Art. 17–23).

Resilience testing

A testing programme for critical systems, and threat-led penetration testing every three years for designated entities (Art. 24–27).

ICT third parties

A register of information on all ICT arrangements and specific contract clauses with providers (Art. 28–30).

Boundaries

  • We are not a certification body and do not issue legal opinions; legal questions are commissioned separately from a lawyer.
  • We do not act as a statutory EU representative (under GDPR, NIS2 or the AI Act) — that is a separate legal role.
  • Responsibility for decisions and reporting stays with the organisation’s management.
  • We do not promise full compliance or a positive supervisory outcome — we help you show what has been done and what remains.

Discuss your case

EU law first, national law where it applies. EU regulations such as DORA, the AI Act and the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) apply directly in every Member State. Directives such as NIS2 (EU cybersecurity directive) are transposed into national law, so scope details, authorities, reporting channels and deadlines depend on the Member State where you are established or operate. Examples on this site often use Bulgarian law; in each engagement we confirm the national law that applies to you and involve local counsel where needed.

For the register structure and evidence, start with what the DORA register contains. A supplier responding to your request can use the guide for suppliers to financial entities.
