6 QUESTIONS, BRIEFLY ANSWERED
Central features are a module for the ICT third-party register with criticality classification, document management with versioning and approval workflows, and tracking of open actions from audits and tests with deadlines and ownership. Pure reporting dashboards without an underlying data structure for these three areas usually don't solve the actual documentation problem.
What matters is whether the software can handle different national reporting formats and deadlines, relevant when a group is subject to reporting obligations under several national supervisors across EU member states. Equally important is whether data can be consolidated into a group-wide view without blending the country-specific reporting obligations of individual entities.
Some GRC platforms map both frameworks in a shared data model, which is useful when a company potentially falls under both due to different business lines. Before committing to a combined tool, it's worth checking whether it genuinely maps both frameworks substantively or just offers two separate checklists under one interface.
For companies with a standard risk profile and a manageable number of ICT third-party providers, off-the-shelf software usually covers the requirements adequately. For complex, group-wide structures with many subsidiaries and inconsistent legacy systems, a custom solution or at least heavily tailored configuration may be needed to cleanly connect existing data sources.
Points to clarify include the processing location of the data, contractual exit options for a provider switch, and access and export rights to your own compliance data. Since compliance software itself qualifies as an ICT third-party under DORA, the software vendor should meet the same contract clauses DORA generally requires for critical ICT service providers.
It matters whether the DORA software can connect to existing risk management or ISO 27001 systems rather than creating an isolated parallel structure that requires duplicate maintenance. Testing the interface with real sample data before signing a contract shows more reliably whether the integration actually works than relying on a vendor's data sheet description.
