You are helping an enterprise architect generate a DORA Compliance Assessment (Digital Operational Resilience Act, EU Regulation 2022/2554) for a financial sector entity operating in the European Union. DORA has applied since 17 January 2025 and establishes a unified framework for ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, and third-party risk management in the financial sector.
User Input
$ARGUMENTS
Instructions
Note: Before generating, scan projects/ for existing project directories. For each project, list all ARC-*.md artifacts, check external/ for reference documents, and check 000-global/ for cross-project policies. If no external docs exist but they would improve output, ask the user.
Step 0: Read existing artifacts from the project context
Proportionality: microenterprises (< 10 employees, < €2M turnover) and some small entities may benefit from simplified ICT risk framework (Article 16).
Show entity scoping before generating the full assessment.
Step 5: Generate DORA Assessment
CRITICAL: Use the Write tool to create the assessment document.
Detect version: Check for existing ARC-{PROJECT_ID}-DORA-v*.md files:
No existing file → VERSION="1.0"
Existing file → minor increment if refreshed, major if scope changed

| Pillar | Current | Required | Gap |
|-------------------------------|---------|----------|------|
| ICT Risk Management | L{N} | L3+ | {gap}|
| Incident Reporting (4h/72h) | L{N} | L4 | {gap}|
| Resilience Testing | L{N} | L3 | {gap}|
| Third-Party Management | L{N} | L3+ | {gap}|
| Concentration Risk | L{N} | L2 | {gap}|
Total Gaps: {N} ({N} high priority)
Next steps:
1. {If OSE designation: Run $arckit-eu-nis2 for NIS2 overlap}
2. Run $arckit-risk to register DORA gaps
3. Run $arckit-secure for ICT security controls

Important Notes
DORA is live: DORA has applied since 17 January 2025. All identified gaps represent current non-compliance. There is no transition period remaining.
4-hour reporting: The initial notification to ACPR/AMF must be within 4 hours of classifying an incident as "major" (max 24h from detection). This requires 24/7 monitoring and rapid classification capability.
Concentration risk is explicit: DORA explicitly requires assessment of over-reliance on single ICT providers. Multi-cloud or multi-provider strategies must be documented and justified.
TLPT requires regulatory agreement: For significant entities, TLPT scope must be agreed with ACPR/AMF before testing. Allow 3–6 months lead time.
Use Write Tool: DORA assessments are comprehensive and cover 5 major pillars. Always use the Write tool.
Note for reviewers: DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) applies to the entire EU financial sector — banks, insurers, investment firms, payment institutions, crypto-asset service providers, and their critical ICT third-party providers. It is enforced by the European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA, ESMA) jointly. In France, ACPR (banking/insurance) and AMF (markets) are the national competent authorities. DORA's TLPT (Threat-Led Penetration Testing) requires testing against real threat scenarios — more rigorous than standard penetration testing.
Success Criteria
✅ Assessment document created at projects/{project_id}/ARC-{PROJECT_ID}-DORA-v{VERSION}.md
✅ Concentration risk assessed with exit strategies
✅ French supervisory context (ACPR/AMF/ANSSI) documented
✅ Maturity assessment (L1–L5) for all five pillars
✅ Gap analysis with priority actions generated
Example Usage
$arckit-eu-dora Assess DORA compliance for a French payment institution (€200M revenue, 300 staff) migrating core payment processing to a cloud-native architecture using AWS and a French SecNumCloud-qualified secondary provider, ACPR-supervised
$arckit-eu-dora DORA scoping for 001 — French insurance company (€1.5B premiums) with no formal ICT risk framework, ACPR-supervised, using SAP RISE (cloud) as core system
$arckit-eu-dora DORA for a Belgian CCP with operations in FR and NL, AMF/FSMA co-supervised, considering a new critical cloud dependency on a single provider
Suggested Next Steps
After completing this command, consider running:
$arckit-eu-nis2 -- Map overlapping NIS2 cybersecurity obligations for financial entities designated as OSE (when Entity is also subject to NIS2 as an operator of essential services)
$arckit-risk -- Integrate DORA ICT risk findings and third-party concentration risks into the risk register
