DORA Art. 3(22)

Critical or Important Functions — DORA's central pillar

The only BCMS covering every DORA obligation tied to CIFs: registry, AI justifications, ICT third-party mappings, Register of Information, concentration analysis, subcontracting chain, exit strategies, TLPT scope.

6 CIF pillars

One module covering the entire CIF lifecycle under DORA.

CIF registry compliant with Art. 3(22)

Function identification per the 4 criteria (financial performance, continuity, authorisation, other obligations). Auditable factual justification. Per-CIF RTO/RPO/MTPD.

AI justification in 15 seconds

ResiPlan AI drafts the criticality justification from name + business area + checked criteria. Audit-ready tone, explicit DORA references. Saves 2h per CIF.

ICT third-party mappings (Art. 28)

CIF ↔ ICT provider mapping with dependency level (sole/primary-backup/active-active/supporting), country, cloud service type, subcontracting chain (Art. 29), exit strategy (Art. 28(7)(j)).

Concentration analysis (Art. 29)

Top providers by CIFs covered, single-source detection, geographic concentration (EU vs non-EU, Schrems II). Overall risk level (low/medium/high/critical) + recommendations.

Register of Information (Art. 31)

Formal registry with LEI, CIF count, contracts, providers, concentration metrics. Ready for ESA submission (EBA/ESMA/EIOPA) and national authorities (ACPR, AMF, BaFin…).

TLPT scope (Art. 26-27)

CIFs flagged 'inTlptScope' are automatically included in the existing TLPT module for threat-led penetration tests every 3 years.
