What changed

The 12 May 2026 official source check confirmed ESMA describes DORA as applying from 17 January 2025 and covering ICT risk management, third-party risk, testing, incidents, information sharing, and oversight of critical providers.

Why it matters for teams

Finance, SaaS, ICT vendor, risk, procurement, and operations teams should use this as an early evidence and owner-readiness prompt before making public claims or sending sensitive material.

First practical question

Which ICT services, owners, and evidence files would be hard to assemble this week?

  • Identify third-party, subcontractor, and contract owners.
  • Collect resilience, continuity, testing, and incident evidence.
