LoopIQ Pro for DORA Compliance Automation

LoopIQ Pro helps EU financial services teams meet DORA compliance obligations by capturing ICT risk-management and incident-reporting evidence directly from the software delivery work engineers already do. It is built for VPs and directors at banks, insurers, payment firms, and other financial entities in scope of the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act who need release-level proof without stalling delivery. No tool on its own makes an organization DORA compliant, but LoopIQ automates the SDLC evidence that resilience, change, and incident controls depend on.

The problem

DORA raised the bar on operational resilience across ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, and third-party risk. For engineering teams, that translates into constant proof that changes were authorized, tested, and traceable to a resilient release process. Most teams still assemble this evidence by hand across GitHub, CI/CD, ticketing, and spreadsheets during pre-audit or pre-supervisory scrambles. The result is roughly two days lost per release to paperwork and evidence that is stale the moment it is collected.

How LoopIQ handles it

LoopIQ treats evidence as a byproduct of delivery rather than a separate project. As work moves from idea to plan, implementation, test, and deploy, LoopIQ listens to release events and records the artifacts that answer the five questions auditors and supervisors ask: change authorization, access governance, test and validation, release certification, and monitoring and response. That maps cleanly onto DORA's ICT change-management and resilience-testing expectations, giving supervisory-ready release certification pulled from live signals instead of reconstructed after the fact.

Key capabilities

  • Automated evidence capture. Approvals, test results, and deployment signals are recorded against each release with timestamps and owners, no manual collection.

  • Release certification. Every release carries an audit-ready record showing what changed, who authorized it, and how it was validated.

  • Change authorization trails. Change approvals are linked to the releases they govern, supporting DORA's ICT change-management controls.

  • ICT incident context. Deployment and monitoring signals connect release activity to incident timelines for faster, evidenced reporting.

  • Traceable AI actions. Any agentic AI work inside delivery is logged and auditable, so automation does not create evidence gaps.

  • Unified workspace. Delivery signals, approvals, and compliance evidence live in one place with cross-team visibility.

How it fits your stack

LoopIQ complements your GRC platform rather than replacing it. Tools like Vanta and Hyperproof are strong at organizing control frameworks, managing policies, and running the audit and attestation program across the business; that remains their job. LoopIQ sits upstream on the SDLC-evidence layer, capturing verified proof from GitHub, CI/CD, scanners, and monitoring, then feeding that evidence into your GRC system of record. It integrates with GitHub and CI/CD and listens to release events; there is no native Jira integration, but you can import existing data via CSV and a full database dump with intelligent mapping. Nothing gets ripped out.

Common questions

Does LoopIQ make us DORA compliant on its own? No. DORA compliance is an organizational program spanning governance, third-party risk, and resilience testing. LoopIQ automates the SDLC and release evidence that several DORA pillars require, which shortens audit prep and closes evidence gaps, but it is one part of a broader program.

Do we still need Vanta or Hyperproof? If they already run your control and audit program, keep them. LoopIQ feeds them cleaner, release-linked evidence from delivery so your existing GRC workflows are better sourced, not duplicated.

How disruptive is rollout? LoopIQ connects to your current GitHub and CI/CD pipelines and captures evidence from work in progress, so teams keep shipping while the audit trail builds itself.
