DORA made the ICT third parties behind your firm a board-level problem. Coverbase helps you manage them.
The Digital Operational Resilience Act has applied to EU financial entities since January 2025. It expects a real ICT third-party risk framework, a register of every provider arrangement, and incident reporting on a tight clock. Coverbase gives you the inventory, oversight, and evidence to run it.
Who DORA applies to
DORA (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554) is an EU regulation that applies directly across all member states. It covers roughly twenty categories of financial entities, from banks and payment firms to investment firms, insurers, and crypto-asset service providers, plus the ICT third-party providers that serve them. It has applied since 17 January 2025.
What DORA asks of you
An ICT third-party risk framework
Treat reliance on ICT providers as part of your overall risk management, with diligence proportional to how critical the service is.
A register of information
Maintain a complete register of every contractual arrangement with ICT third-party providers, ready to report to your competent authority.
Contractual safeguards
Provider contracts must cover service levels, data access and recovery, audit rights, sub-contracting, and exit, with stricter terms for critical or important functions.
Major incident reporting on a clock
Classify and report major ICT-related incidents fast: an initial notification within hours, an intermediate report within 72 hours, and a final report within a month.
Run your ICT third-party risk program in one place
DORA rewards organizations that can show their work. Coverbase keeps the inventory, diligence, and evidence current so you're not rebuilding it for every authority request.
Register-ready inventory
Keep a structured, exportable record of every ICT provider arrangement and the function it supports.
Diligence, automated

Contract terms tracked

See where you depend on the same critical providers, and the fourth parties sitting behind them.
