Coordinate the people, evidence and remediation work behind the Central Bank of Ireland ICT Self-Assessment Tool through one controlled assessment workspace.
Use a structured workspace to organise responses, evidence, findings, owners and remediation actions. KPOData supports the process; regulatory and legal conclusions remain with the firm and its appointed advisers.
Structured workspace for all responses and evidence.
Clear ownership and accountability.
Built-in review and quality controls.
Action tracking and management reporting.
The Central Bank describes ICT-SAT as a structured framework for assessing how regulated entities manage ICT risks and protect operations. Responses may draw on technology, security, business continuity, outsourcing, risk and governance teams.
When the assessment is managed through email and spreadsheets, it can be difficult to determine who owns each response, which document supports it, whether reviewers accepted the evidence and what remains unresolved.
Separate ownership of assessment sections.
Evidence attached directly to the relevant question.
Reviewer comments and clarification requests.
Completion and quality status by function.
Actions created from incomplete or weak controls.
KPOData can configure the ICT-SAT as a structured workflow. Questions can be grouped by topic, assigned to contributors and routed through review stages. Required evidence can be requested alongside the response, reducing the need to reconcile answers and files later.
Invite internal and external contributors securely.
Set due dates and automated reminders.
Require supporting evidence for selected responses.
Return incomplete sections for correction.
Capture final approval and maintain an audit history.

The value of an ICT self-assessment is limited if gaps remain in a static report. KPOData can convert findings into an action register with accountable owners, milestones and evidence of closure.
Management can view open risks, overdue actions, evidence gaps and progress by business function. This supports ongoing oversight and makes the next review easier to prepare.
Risk and priority classification.
Named owner and responsible function.
Target dates and escalation reminders.
Closure evidence and reviewer sign-off.
Dashboards and exportable management reports.
The engagement begins with the firm’s assessment scope, existing records and stakeholder map. KPOData is then configured around the required questions, evidence types, ownership and approval sequence.
A short discovery phase should confirm whether the firm needs a guided one-off assessment, a reusable annual process or a broader DORA evidence and remediation workspace.
Review the applicable assessment structure.
Map owners, reviewers and approvers.
Configure questions, evidence requests and statuses.
Import available responses where practical.
Run the assessment and monitor completion.
Export the final response and open-action summary.
This approach is especially useful for regulated firms that do not want to procure a large enterprise GRC platform but still require a controlled, repeatable assessment process. It can also support advisers who deliver ICT assessments across multiple client organisations.
