Summary Of Article 22
Article 22 of DORA outlines the supervisory feedback process for managing ICT-related incidents in financial entities. Competent authorities acknowledge initial notifications and reports while providing proportionate feedback, such as anonymized intelligence and mitigation strategies to minimize sector-wide impacts. Financial entities retain full responsibility for managing these incidents. Additionally, the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) compile annual reports on major incidents, detailing their nature, impacts, remedial actions, and costs. The ESAs also issue warnings and high-level statistics to strengthen ICT threat and vulnerability assessments across the financial sector.
