DORA Compliance

DORA ICT change management
evidence, automated.

The Digital Operational Resilience Act requires EU financial institutions to maintain documented ICT change management processes with auditable evidence. MergeWhy captures this evidence automatically from your engineering workflow.

DORA enforcement is live since January 2025. Financial institutions face supervisory action for non-compliance.

Article 9 — ICT Change Management

DORA Article 9 requires financial entities to have a sound ICT change management process with documented evidence of authorization, testing, and rollback procedures. MergeWhy captures this evidence automatically for every code change.

Article 17 — Incident Reporting

Link ICT incidents to the code changes that caused them. MergeWhy creates an auditable chain from incident report to specific merge, with the complete decision trail: who approved it, what was tested, and what evidence existed.

Articles 24-25 — Testing Requirements

DORA mandates regular testing of ICT systems. MergeWhy captures CI/CD test results, security scans, and code coverage for every change — mapped to DORA testing requirements with per-control evaluation.

Evidence Vault for Regulatory Inspection

SHA-256 cryptographic sealing creates tamper-proof evidence that satisfies regulatory inspection requirements. Every Decision Evidence Record is immutable once sealed — auditors and regulators can verify integrity independently.

How It Works

Three steps to DORA-ready evidence.

01

Install the GitHub App

Connect your repositories in under 2 minutes. MergeWhy integrates with GitHub and GitLab for complete SCM coverage.

02

Merge as usual

Engineers change nothing. Every merge generates a Decision Evidence Record mapped to DORA ICT requirements with automatic gap detection.

03

Demonstrate compliance

Generate audit bundles with per-article evidence packages. Sealed evidence vault satisfies regulatory inspection requirements.
