When a financial customer raises a DORA-driven requirement.
A supplier may receive contract and evidence requests from a financial customer without becoming a financial entity under DORA. Direct scope must be assessed separately.
Start with the request that reached your team.
A financial customer sent a questionnaire
The customer is asking for evidence about the service, controls, incidents, testing or subcontractors.
A contract addendum needs a decision
New notification, audit, access, exit or cooperation terms require technical, commercial and legal owners.
Direct scope is uncertain
The organisation needs to distinguish its own legal position from duties that arrive through a customer's contract.
Map the request, scope and owner separately.
- The customer's exact request and the decision it supports
- The service, data, subcontractor and contract boundaries involved
- Existing evidence and the owner responsible for maintaining it
- Terms that require technical, commercial or legal review
- A separate legal scope assessment where the organisation's own position is uncertain
A focused customer-requirement engagement.
The engagement brings together the specific request, the relevant contract boundary, existing evidence and internal owners. Direct legal scope and legal interpretation require separate qualified legal advice.
What is the financial customer asking for?
Describe the request and the decision that depends on the answer.
Send a question→Put the requirement into a plan that leadership and the responsible people can run.
A requirement becomes useful only when the company has chosen the goal, assigned responsibility, planned capacity and supplier contributions and agreed how the result will be checked. Accel Comply can advise leadership and lead the agreed work from decision to handover.
Make the customer requirement manageable.
Start with the specific request, the internal owner and the missing evidence.
You will receive a direct answer on fit, what the first deliverable could be and what information is needed to begin.
