What this page covers
A register template for ICT incidents, suppliers, tests and verifier-ready evidence packets.
Evidence question
DORA ICT evidence register template answers a concrete audit question: what must be retained so a third party can verify the relevant event chain later?
- Which event happened and which system produced it.
- Which policy, model, supplier or human approval was active.
- Which hash, signature, Merkle root and verifier receipt prove integrity.
Attesto proof layer
Attesto complements GRC, SIEM, storage and workflow systems by sealing selected evidence records instead of replacing the operating system.
- Raw data can remain encrypted or customer-controlled.
- Proof material can be shared with auditors or customers.
- A verifier can test whether a record still matches the anchored root.
Legal timing
DORA has applied since 17 January 2025 for financial entities and relevant ICT providers. Incident, resilience testing and third-party evidence should be reviewable over time.
This page is implementation guidance for evidence planning, not legal advice.

Where Attesto fits
Attesto turns this topic into verifiable evidence by connecting operational records to hashes, signatures, Merkle proofs and verifier receipts.
FAQ
How is this different from a normal log?
A normal log asks an auditor to trust the system that produced it. Attesto records hashes, signatures, Merkle proofs and verifier receipts so selected evidence can be checked independently.
Does Attesto need to expose raw sensitive data?
No. Raw records can remain encrypted or customer-controlled while proof material is shared for verification.
Where does DORA ICT evidence register template fit in the compliance stack?
Attesto turns this topic into verifiable evidence by connecting operational records to hashes, signatures, Merkle proofs and verifier receipts.
