LoopIQ Pro for DORA Release Evidence
LoopIQ Pro automates DORA release evidence by capturing approvals, testing, and deployment signals inside your delivery workflow and turning them into audit-ready release certification. It is built for VPs and directors at regulated enterprises subject to the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act who need to show, per release, that ICT changes were controlled and tested. LoopIQ supports the ICT-risk-management and resilience-testing pillars where they touch software delivery; no tool alone confers DORA compliance, but LoopIQ makes the release-level evidence continuous and defensible.
The problem
DORA raises the bar on how financial entities manage and evidence ICT risk, including how software changes are controlled, tested, and documented. For engineering teams, that means every release now needs a demonstrable trail: who authorized the change, what resilience and functional testing occurred, and how the deployment was monitored. Most teams generate these signals already but scatter them across issue trackers, CI logs, and chat, so producing DORA-aligned release evidence becomes a manual reconstruction under regulatory pressure.
How LoopIQ handles it
LoopIQ captures release evidence from the delivery workflow and structures it around the five governance questions that map cleanly to DORA's ICT-change and testing expectations:
Change authorization — each ICT change is linked to its request and approvals.
Access governance — who could act on the change is recorded in context.
Test and validation — functional and resilience test results tie to the change they validate.
Release certification — a signed, timestamped record accompanies each release.
Monitoring and response — deployment and post-release signals close the loop.
The evidence is assembled as releases happen, so it stands up to examination without a pre-audit scramble.
Key capabilities
Automated evidence capture — change, test, and deployment signals recorded from GitHub and CI/CD.
Release certification — audit-ready proof of controlled, tested releases by default.
Resilience-test traceability — test outcomes link to the ICT changes they cover.
Change control workflows — authorization and review steps enforced and logged.
Unified evidence trail — release-level records queryable in one workspace.
Traceable intelligence — AI-assisted actions in the workflow remain auditable.
How it fits your stack
LoopIQ complements the GRC and ICT-risk platforms that own your broader DORA program. It feeds verified upstream SDLC evidence to tools such as Vanta, Drata, and Secureframe rather than replacing them, and it does not manage third-party risk registers or incident-reporting obligations on its own. It integrates with GitHub and CI/CD to listen for release events and imports existing project data via CSV or a full database dump with intelligent mapping (there is no native Jira integration).
Common questions
Does using LoopIQ make us DORA compliant? No. DORA compliance is an organizational program spanning governance, third-party risk, incident reporting, and resilience testing. LoopIQ automates the release-level evidence for the ICT-change and testing pillars and feeds it to your GRC platform.
How does this connect to our GRC tool? LoopIQ captures the upstream delivery evidence and passes verified signals to platforms like Vanta or Drata, which manage the overall control framework and reporting.
Can we produce release evidence for changes already in flight? Yes. Import current work through CSV or a database dump with intelligent mapping, then LoopIQ certifies releases going forward with a complete evidence trail.
