EU Digital Operational Resilience Act

Ensure DORA Compliance with AI-Powered Requirements and Full Traceability

Strengthen operational resilience and align with the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) by centralizing ICT risk, incident, governance, and third-party requirements inside Azure DevOps.

Built for insurers, reinsurers, and financial institutions needing traceability, audit readiness, and automated compliance evidence.

The Regulatory Shift

Why DORA Changes How Insurance & Financial Firms Manage ICT

Stricter ICT Risk Governance

DORA requires financial entities to maintain governed, documented ICT risk frameworks tied to development and change management activities.

Mandatory Incident Reporting & Traceability

All major incidents must be documented, assessed, and traced across systems, controls, and remediations.

🔗
Increased Third-Party Oversight

Firms must track third-party risk, SLAs, and responsibilities—requiring structured documentation and evidence.

🛡
Testing, Continuity & Resilience Requirements

DORA obligates firms to run resilience tests and prove traceable control coverage.

Answers for Compliance Teams

Frequently Asked Questions

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is an EU regulation requiring financial institutions and insurers to ensure their ICT systems can withstand, respond to, and recover from disruptions. It covers ICT risk management, incident reporting, operational resilience testing, ICT third-party oversight, and consistent documentation practices. DORA becomes enforceable on 17 January 2025.

Yes. DORA explicitly applies to insurance undertakings, reinsurance companies, intermediaries, and captive insurers operating in the EU. If your organization writes EU policies, runs EU branches, or supports EU financial clients, DORA applies — even if your headquarters are outside the EU.

Insurance firms must:

  • Establish a comprehensive ICT risk management framework
  • Maintain full traceability across ICT assets, risks, controls, requirements, and tests
  • Implement a structured incident classification and reporting process
  • Run regular resilience tests, including TLPT for critical functions
  • Maintain a Register of Information (RoI) for all ICT systems and vendors
  • Oversee and monitor all ICT third-party providers
  • Produce audit-ready documentation for regulators

Modern Requirements supports all documentation, mapping, requirement, testing, and traceability needs.

Modern Requirements creates a unified compliance workspace inside Azure DevOps, allowing insurers to:

  • Import DORA Articles and build structured control frameworks
  • Map policies, controls, requirements, and tests with traceability
  • Document ICT services, risks, assets, and dependencies
  • Link resilience testing and incident records to DORA obligations
  • Generate audit-ready reports, dashboards, and baselines

Automate requirements, documents, and test cases using built-in AI.

Modern Requirements uses intelligent automation to support:

  • AI-generated DORA requirements and test cases
  • Automated quality checks to catch ambiguity and gaps
  • AI-written SOPs, playbooks, and policy drafts
  • Instant diagrams of ICT dependencies and service relationships
  • Summaries of RTS/ITS sections for risk and audit teams

This removes significant manual effort and reduces human error.

You can capture and link ICT incidents, classifications, remediation tasks, and lessons learned as connected work items. Incidents can be mapped directly to DORA Articles and controls, ensuring complete traceability and review readiness.

Yes. You can document:

  • TLPT scope, preconditions, and testing procedures
  • Resilience test scenarios, outcomes, and remediation actions
  • Links between tests, risks, assets, and regulatory obligations
  • Impact assessments before and after changes

All testing evidence is captured with full audit trails.

You can maintain a DORA-aligned Register of Information containing:

  • Third-party providers
  • Services they support
  • SLAs, contracts, exit strategies
  • Resilience testing results
  • ICT dependencies and criticality assessments

This makes DORA’s third-party oversight requirements actionable and traceable.

For DORA, yes. Regulators expect a structured, traceable, repeatable compliance model. Spreadsheets cannot provide:

  • Version control
  • End-to-end traceability
  • Audit trails
  • Complex mapping (Articles → controls → tests)
  • Automated reporting
  • Collaboration across risk, ICT, compliance, and audit teams

Modern Requirements replaces manual spreadsheets with one connected compliance workspace.

Yes. You can:

  • Import DORA Articles
  • Map internal policies and controls
  • Identify missing links or testing coverage
  • Compare baselines over time
  • Build remediation workflows

This gives you a clear, measurable view of DORA readiness.

Absolutely. The platform is used by:

  • Global insurers and reinsurers
  • Mid-size insurance groups

How We Power Through For Your Projects

Zions selected Modern Requirements4 DevOps as a solution uniquely positioned to fill our need, while also adding additional requirements functionality. We quickly began migrating content from DOORS Next Generation to the new platform. We collaborated weekly, and as a result implemented a seamless migration with additional requirements visualization features.

Russell Webster

VP, Sr. Manager

We had already selected Azure DevOps as our ALM solution so Modern Requirements seemed like a natural fit. After further investigation, the solution was a great fit for the Systems, Electronics, Mechanical, Software and other Engineering teams. During the 30-day trial alone, we successfully imported existing requirements, linked them together, undertook a team review with audit history, and produced an easy-to-understand report compliant with our QMS.
