DORA Register of Information Support

for Irish Financial Entities

Coordinate the provider, contract, ICT service and business-function data needed to maintain a more complete, reviewable DORA Register of Information.

Practical DORA support for Irish financial entities

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.

Provider and contract data

ICT service and function links

Ownership, review and approval

Why the Register of Information is operationally difficult

The Central Bank of Ireland requires in-scope financial entities to submit Registers of Information covering contractual arrangements for ICT services provided by ICT third-party service providers. The register draws on information held across procurement, legal, technology, risk and business functions.

The challenge is not only producing the final reporting package. Firms must identify the correct providers and arrangements, maintain consistent identifiers, connect services to functions and review the quality of the data before submission.

Provider and ultimate-parent information.

Contractual arrangement records.

ICT service classification.

Financial entity and branch details.

Supported functions and criticality information.

Internal ownership, review and approval.

Create a governed data-collection workflow

KPOData can coordinate data requests across the teams and entities that hold the required information. Each record can be assigned an owner, reviewed for completeness and linked to the relevant provider, contract, service and function.

Validation rules can flag missing mandatory fields, inconsistent references and other data-quality issues before information is exported for the formal reporting process.

01

Structured provider and contract records.

02

Assigned data owners and reviewers.

03

Controlled reference lists and identifiers.

04

Completeness and consistency checks.

05

Comments, corrections and approval history.

06

Export into an agreed downstream preparation process.

Improve data quality before submission

For the 2026 reporting cycle, the Central Bank highlighted technical validation and additional data-quality review, with potential resubmission where content issues are found. A controlled pre-submission review can reduce avoidable errors and last-minute reconciliation.

KPOData should be positioned as the collection, governance and validation workspace. Direct production of a regulator-ready XBRL OIM-CSV package should only be offered after the required mappings and validation have been fully tested.

Identify generic or placeholder values.

Check required relationships are present.

Confirm records have named owners and reviewers.

Track unresolved validation findings.

Maintain an approved submission snapshot.

Maintain the register throughout the year

The register should not be treated only as a March reporting exercise. Provider, contract and service information changes through new agreements, renewals, terminations, service changes and organisational restructuring.

KPOData can support a year-round change and approval workflow so the data is updated closer to the event and reviewed before the next reporting deadline.

New provider and contract intake.

Contract renewal and termination workflow.

Service and criticality changes.

Entity or branch updates.

Periodic owner certification.

Readiness dashboard ahead of submission.

A focused service rather than a full GRC replacement

The initial offer can be a Register of Information data-readiness review: map the current source files, identify ownership and quality gaps, configure a controlled collection workflow and produce a validated export for the firm’s existing reporting process.

This creates a clear entry project and can lead to third-party-risk assessments, supplier evidence collection, contract remediation and broader DORA workflow support.

Frequently asked questions

The proposed first version supports data collection, governance, review and export. Formal submission remains with the financial entity through the applicable Central Bank process.
That should only be offered after the relevant EBA structure, mappings and validation requirements have been implemented and tested. The initial service should integrate with the firm’s established preparation or reporting process.
Central Bank guidance indicates that all relevant contractual arrangements for ICT services should be captured, not only providers supporting critical or important functions. Firms should confirm scope against current guidance.
Yes, subject to configuration. Records can be separated and reported by entity while sharing governed provider and service information where appropriate.
Yes. A change workflow can require review and approval before revised provider, contract or service data becomes part of the approved register dataset.

Prepare the Register before the reporting deadline

Share your current RoI files, provider register or data-collection spreadsheet. We will assess the ownership, relationships and validation workflow needed to improve readiness.
