Financial Services Addendum
DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) is the EU Regulation that aims to strengthen the IT security of financial entities such as banks, insurance companies, and investment firms. DORA harmonizes rules for the financial sector across the EU and aims to ensure that the financial sector is able to stay resilient in the event of a severe operational disruption. As an ICT Services Provider to regulated entities subject to DORA, our Financial Services Addendum (“FSA”) offers contractual commitments designed to address the DORA requirements for non-critical ICT services procured by our customers.
A Word document version of the FSA can be downloaded here for Customer review.

Customer will have the right to submit security questionnaires to Digital.ai in the event any identified gaps or unresolved questions exist following Customer’s review of Digital.ai’s documentation.

Customer must ensure that any personnel performing the inspection (whether internal or external to Customer) has appropriate and relevant skills and knowledge to perform the relevant audits and/or assessments effectively. Customer is responsible for the acts and omissions of its auditor when performing the audit.
d. If an audit is requested and performed by Customer’s Supervisory Authority and to the extent required under applicable law, Digital.ai shall reasonably cooperate with the Supervisory Authority, including with persons appointed by the Supervisory Authority, for requested information regarding the Services provided to Customer, so long as Customer does not otherwise have access to the relevant information. Customer will respond directly to a Supervisory Authority’s request(s) for Customer Data and shall not circumvent such requests by referring such matters to Digital.ai.
e. Any information provided by or obtained from Digital.ai pursuant to this Section 7 shall be considered Confidential Information of Digital.ai and is subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement. Any audits or inspections will be conducted in a manner that does not impact the ongoing safety, security, confidentiality, integrity, availability, continuity and resilience of the inspected facilities, networks and systems, nor otherwise expose or compromise any data processed therein.
