• Art. 10 + 17 — Mutable logging files (tamper-prone incident records)
• Art. 11 — Missing retry logic and circuit breakers for external calls
• Art. 24 + 25 — Missing security testing tooling (bandit, semgrep, safety)
• Art. 28 + 31 — ICT third-party dependencies (AWS, Stripe, Kafka, etc.)

Returns all DORA articles applicable to your entity type:

credit_institution | payment_institution | e_money_institution
investment_firm | crypto_casp | insurance_undertaking
ict_provider | trading_venue | central_counterparty

generate_ict_register (Pro)

Auto-generates your Art. 31 ICT third-party register from a code scan — detects vendors and scaffolds all mandatory fields (classification, SLA, audit rights, data location, exit strategy).

generate_incident_template (Pro)

Generates an Art. 17-18 incident management template with:

• Classification framework (major / significant / minor)
• Regulatory reporting deadlines (initial: 4h, intermediate: 72h, final: 1 month)
• Full incident record fields

certify_report (Certified)

Certifies your DORA compliance report with ArkForge Trust Layer: Ed25519 signature + RFC 3161 timestamp + Sigstore/Rekor anchoring. Verifiable by regulators without routing through ArkForge.

Trust Layer — DORA Art. 17 Compliance

DORA Art. 17 requires incident records to be tamper-proof and available for supervisory inspection. A standard log file (mutable, deletable) does not satisfy this requirement.

ArkForge Trust Layer seals each incident record at creation — cryptographic proof, independently verifiable:
