Arcano Partners cut DORA reporting time by 85%

THE CHALLENGE

Making DORA part of how risk is already managed

Arcano Partners, a financial services firm, already tracked technological risk and organisational maturity with its own set of measures. DORA added a new layer of obligations, and the team did not want regulatory reporting to become a separate, deadline-driven exercise disconnected from the way it manages risk every day.

The goal was clear: meet DORA requirements in a way that strengthens the existing risk picture instead of duplicating it.

THE APPROACH

One control framework for compliance and risk

With Formalize, Arcano brought its DORA obligations and its existing risk and maturity measures together in one shared framework of controls. Compliance work and risk oversight now run on the same foundation, so obligations are documented once and the wider risk picture stays in view.

IMPLEMENTATION

Live practically from day one, with Formalize alongside the team

Formalize migrated Arcano's existing information into the platform, so the team started with its data already preloaded instead of a blank workspace. Legal and GRC specialists supported the setup and helped the team work through the configuration.

Arcano went live practically on day one and reached full coverage of its compliance needs within two months, even over the holiday season.

THE RESULTS

Less time on reporting. More time to see what is changing.

For Arcano, DORA compliance is now a structured, repeatable process that takes far less effort, and the team has a clearer view of how its risk is developing.
