Fund XP’s DORA Register Solution

Fund XP provides a comprehensive solution to help financial entities efficiently produce the DORA register of information required by the financial authorities.

Financial authorities must submit the register to the ESAs by 30 April 2025, using the reference date of 31 March 2025 for the first submission.

Fund XP simplifies this process by streamlining the generation of the register in the required CSV format.

Once the register is submitted, the authorities will perform validation checks from 15 April 2025 to 30 April 2025. If any errors are detected, Fund XP ensures that the financial entity can quickly address and correct them for resubmission before the 30 April deadline.

During May 2025, the ESAs will perform their own checks. If they identify any additional errors, Fund XP will facilitate the correction and re-submission of the register, who will then communicate it to the ESAs.

Importantly, the ESA will not provide tools or scripts for generating the register, as was done during the Dry Run exercise. Fund XP offers a reliable solution to ensure that your register is correctly formatted and ready for submission without additional manual effort.

How it works?

Utilizing Excel templates, Fund XP integrates advanced functions to ensure seamless data production, validation, and checks. Our solution automates the process of compiling and verifying critical information, drastically reducing manual errors and improving efficiency. Everything is done locally on your system, ensuring complete control over your data and processes.

The solution is multi-jurisdictional and fully compliant with jurisdictions that require filing in CSV/JSON formats.

What is Dora?

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), effective from 17 January 2025, aims to strengthen the digital operational resilience of the EU financial sector. This regulation introduces a unified legal framework to manage ICT-related risks, enhance incident reporting, conduct resilience testing, and oversee third-party ICT providers. DORA applies to 20 types of financial entities, including banks, insurers, and investment firms.

Luxembourg’s Transposition of DORA

In Luxembourg, DORA is directly applicable from January 2025. The CSSF and CAA are designated as the authorities ensuring compliance with DORA. Specific laws and regulations, such as Circular CSSF 24/847, are already in place to enhance incident reporting and align with DORA’s framework.

(b) payment institutions, including payment institutions exempted pursuant to Directive (EU) 2015/2366;

What kind of information should be provided?

Template Code Template Name Short Description
B_01.01 Entity maintaining the
register of information
This template identifies the entity maintaining and updating the register of
information at entity, sub-consolidated and consolidated level,
respectively.
B_01.02 List of entities within the
scope of consolidation
This template identifies all the entities belonging to the group. Where the
financial entity responsible for maintaining and updating the register of
information does not belong to a group, only that financial entity shall be
reported in this template.

arrangements – general
information
This template lists all contractual arrangements with direct ICT third-party
service providers.
For each contractual arrangement with a direct ICT third-party service
provider, the financial entity maintaining the register of information shall
assign a unique ‘contractual arrangement reference number’ to identify
unambiguously the contractual arrangement itself.
B_02.02 Contractual
arrangements – specific
information
This template provides details in relation to each contractual arrangement
listed in template B_02.01 with regard to:
(a) the ICT services included in the scope of the contractual arrangement;
(b) the functions of the financial entities supported by those ICT services;
(c) other important information in relation to the specific ICT services
provided (e.g. notice period, law governing the arrangement, etc.).
B_02.03 List of intra-group
contractual arrangements
This template identifies the links between intra-group contractual
arrangements and contractual arrangements with ICT third-party service
providers which are not part of the group using the contractual reference
numbers when part of the ICT service supply chain.
B_03.01 Entities signing the
contractual arrangements
for receiving ICT
service(s) or on behalf of
the entities making use of
the ICT service(s)
This template provides information on the entity signing the contractual
arrangements with the direct ICT third-party service provider for the
entity making use of the ICT services. Where the register of information is maintained and updated at entity
level, the entity signing the contractual arrangement and the entity making
use of the ICT services is the financial entity maintaining and updating the
register of information.
In the context of sub-consolidation and consolidation, the financial entity
making use of the ICT services provided is not necessarily the entity
signing the contractual arrangement with the ICT third-party service
providers.
B_03.02 ICT third-party service
providers signing the
contractual arrangements
for providing ICT
service(s)
This template identifies all the ICT third-party service providers referred to
in template B_05.01 signing the contractual arrangements referred to in

provided by ICT third-party service providers and registered in the register
of information.
The entities making use of the ICT services shall be either the financial
entities in scope, or the ICT intra-group service providers.

providers
This template lists and provides general information to identify:
(a) the direct ICT third-party service providers;
(b) the ICT intra-group service providers;

providers listed in points (a), (b) and (c).
B_05.02 ICT service supply chain This template identifies and links the ICT third-party service providers that
are part of the same ICT service supply chain.
Financial entities shall identify and rank the ICT third-party service
providers for each ICT service included in each contractual arrangement.
Example: a financial entity has a contractual arrangement with an ICT
third-party service provider (‘ICT third-party service provider X’) to receive
2 specific ICT services (‘ICT service A’ and ‘ICT service B’) and the service
provider makes use of a subcontractor (‘ICT third-party service provider
Y’) to provide one of those services (‘ICT service B’).— In relation to ICT service A, the ICT service supply chain is composed
of one ICT third-party service provider, ICT third-party service
provider X, which will be ranked as number 1 in the template. ICT
third-party service provider X is the direct ICT third-party service
provider.
— In relation to ICT service B, the ICT service supply chain is composed
of two ICT third-party service providers:

under two licensed activities (‘activity A’ and ‘activity B’) will be given two
unique ‘function identifiers’ for the same function X (e.g. sales) performed
for activity A and activity B, respectively. The function identifier will be:
