The Digital Operational Resilience Act calls for improved operational resilience. The road to compliance starts with knowing your digital exposure and the supplier connections behind it.
Our discovery data feeds your DORA compliance program by enhancing visibility across ICT assets, third parties, and external exposures that inform DORA reviews. See how we support each requirement.
Article 8(4): Identify all information and ICT assets and map their configuration and interdependencies.
Article 8(6): Maintain inventories, update them periodically, and whenever any major changes occur.
Automated Asset Discovery and SupplyChain Mapping continuously identify domains, IPs, APIs, certificates, and connections, including third-party and forgotten infrastructure.
Article 8: Continuously identify allsources of ICT risk.
Article 9: Continuously monitor andcontrol ICT security and functioning.
Article 10: Have mechanisms topromptly detect anomalous activities.
Continuous external discovery of both your own attack surface and your connected vendors, including shadow IT and unmanaged assets, helps maintain real-time visibility into exposure to identify anomalies.
Article 28: Maintain a register of all contractual arrangements with ICT third-party service providers.
Article 30: Ensure contractual rights for monitoring, auditing, and obtaining information from providers.
Supply chain discovery gives actionable visibility into vendor and supplier risk, with Digital Proximity scoring to understand how deeply each is integrated and what impact they could have.
Article 18: Classification of ICT related incidents and cyber threats.
Article 24: A risk-based approach
to conducting digital operational resilience testing.
A risk scoring engine with 100+ cyber hygiene indicators, including missing or misconfigured HTTP headers, weak or outdated SSL/TLS protocols, insecure forms, supports evidence-based prioritisation and mitigation efforts.
Article 17: Track, log, and classify ICT-related incidents. Identify, document, and address root causes to prevent recurrence. Put in place early warning indicators.
Contextual risk reports and remediation recommendations show which assets, vendors, or misconfigurations are most critical, helping you act before incidents happen.
Article 19: Reporting of major
ICT-related incidents and voluntary notification of significant cyber threats.
Article 20: Standardized
reporting templates.
Reporting insights plug into GRC, SIEM, or EASM workflows to streamline documentation, support audits, and board or executive reporting.
Articles 28 30: Understand the
location of service providers and their subcontractors.
Article 29: Assess ICT concentration risk.
Geo located scanning and global points of presence help respect data residency requirements and support compliance with specific sovereignty needs.
EASM can support DORA by maintaining an up-to-date view of internet-facing ICT assets and externally observable exposure. Continuous discovery helps regulated organisations identify unknown systems, monitor changes, improve vulnerability scope and collect evidence that supports ICT risk management, testing and incident readiness. DORA also places substantial emphasis on ICT third-party risk. Traditional EASM may show supplier-hosted assets without explaining the full dependency or contractual context, so it should be complemented with supply chain intelligence and governance records. ThingsRecon connects external asset discovery with supplier relationships and Digital Proximity, helping teams understand which external dependencies sit closest to critical services. It supports evidence; it does not replace legal, governance or operational compliance work.
Digital operational resilience is an organisation’s ability to continue delivering critical services through technology failures, cyber incidents and third-party disruption, then recover within acceptable limits. It depends on more than prevention. Organisations need visibility of assets and dependencies, tested response plans, continuity measures, clear ownership and evidence that controls work under stress. Supplier and fourth-party relationships are central because a service can fail even when the organisation’s own systems remain secure. External discovery and supply chain mapping help expose dependencies that may be absent from internal inventories, while continuous monitoring shows when the risk landscape changes. In practice, teams should record the supporting evidence, confirm ownership and business criticality, and connect the finding to an accountable workflow. This prevents a useful observation from becoming another isolated score or dashboard alert.
GRC-ready security reports present findings in a form that governance, risk and compliance processes can use, with clear scope, evidence, ownership, priority, status and historical context. They should support control testing, risk acceptance, remediation tracking and audit review without requiring teams to reinterpret raw technical output. ThingsRecon provides configurable, evidence-based reporting that connects external assets and suppliers to business context and ongoing changes. The reports support GRC workflows, while the organisation remains responsible for its control framework and regulatory conclusions. In practice, teams should record the supporting evidence, confirm ownership and business criticality, and connect the finding to an accountable workflow. This prevents a useful observation from becoming another isolated score or dashboard alert.
