The Highlights

How CLM Can Help Financial Institutions Prepare for DORA

With DORA set to take effect in January 2025, financial institutions are gearing up to meet new regulatory requirements. Our recent webinar explored how CLM platforms can streamline DORA compliance efforts.

Here are the top actionable takeaways:

1. Leverage AI for Contract Analysis

This one is a no-brainier. Why?

Businesses may need to review thousands of ICT-related  (information and communication technology) contracts to ensure DORA compliance. Using AI within a CLM platform can save significant time and resources. It can help extract relevant clauses, identify gaps, and even suggest remediation language, dramatically reducing the manual review hours it would take to make DORA updates to all of your contracts.

2. Automate Compliance Reporting

DORA mandates ongoing reporting on various attributes. A CLM system can automatically extract many of these data points from contracts and integrate with other enterprise systems to provide a single source of truth for compliance reporting. This automation simplifies the reporting process and reduces the risk of errors.

3. Manage Third-Party Obligations

DORA will require businesses to closely monitor their ICT service providers’ obligations. A CLM platform’s obligation management module can track these requirements, send timely reminders, and facilitate evidence collection and approval workflows to ensure ongoing compliance.

4. Streamline Incident Management

DORA emphasizes the importance of ICT incident management. CLM systems can provide smart workflows to record, track, and manage incidents in real-time. This centralized approach improves response times and provides a clear audit trail for regulatory reporting.

5. Ensure New Contracts Meet DORA Requirements

When negotiating new ICT contracts, CLM platforms can automatically analyze draft agreements for DORA compliance issues. The system can flag potential problems, suggest compliant language, and help streamline the negotiation process.

Start With AI Contract Management Before DORA’s Deadline

While DORA compliance presents implementation challenges for large enterprises, bringing in a CLM platform to help manage the workload and speed up manual takes will significantly ease the burden. By automating contract analysis, reporting, obligation management, and incident tracking, organizations can more efficiently meet regulatory requirements and improve their overall operational resilience.

As the January 2025 deadline approaches, now is the time for financial institutions to assess their readiness and consider how technology solutions like CLM can support their DORA compliance efforts.

Schedule a call with us today to get started implementing an AI-native CLM platform in time for the DORA deadline.

When it comes to contract management, business teams have often historically “set it and forget it” — but a contract can be a vital source of business insight when managed well.
