From Checklist to Muscle Memory: Embed DORA in the First Line of Defense
valantic’s proposition is action over abstraction. They embed with your First Line to wire up real workflows and train teams so compliance outlives the project. Their track record recertifying 600+ IT services and implementing a group‑wide IT governance framework aligned to DORA, MaRisk, BAIT, and EBA shows how to turn a checklist into durable routines.
Where programs stall after go‑live
- Gap analyses that never translate into tickets or ownership
- Incident playbooks that exist on paper but miss time‑to‑report thresholds
- ICT risk registers that don’t reflect live operating conditions (SLA breaches, outages, vulnerabilities)
- Service recertification waves that never reach closure or don’t collect evidence
Incident management that actually runs
- Standardize incident classes, alerts, war‑room playbooks, and time‑to‑report metrics
- Configure the tooling your teams use (e.g., JIRA/ITSM) for detection, escalation, and reporting
- Exasol’s role: Aggregate SIEM/EDR/ITSM feeds for live dashboards and supervisory‑ready reports
Prepare for DORA With Confidence
Use our checklist to test your resilience and identify gaps.
ICT risk processes plugged into reality
- Connect risk registers to operational signals: vendor SLAs, outage metrics, vulnerabilities, change records
- Exasol’s role: Correlate risk items with telemetry and vendor data to prioritize by business impact and CIFs
Service recertification at scale
- Recertify services with clear ownership, remediation plans, and evidence capture standardized per service/CIF
- Exasol’s role: Generate evidence packs access logs, change records, DR test results, lineage snapshots
Capability transfer and training
Hands‑on training and documentation to embed routines and reduce dependency on external support
An eight‑week path to muscle memory
- Weeks 1–2: Map gaps to workflows; configure JIRA/ITSM; define metrics
- Weeks 3–5: Pilot top CIFs; go live with incident and ICT risk processes
- Weeks 6–8: Scale to additional services; produce evidence packs; train and hand over
Outcomes you can measure
- Faster time‑to‑detect and time‑to‑report
- Reduced critical findings and faster closure rates
- Consistent evidence production across audits and reviews
Why Exasol is the right backbone
Exasol provides the observability and evidence layer, fast queries across operational and vendor data, federated access without replatforming, and audit‑grade artifacts. It’s how Valantic turns workflows into dashboards and metrics you can defend.
