Auditing the Article 6 framework and the RoI
DORA draws a precise line: Article 5 places ultimate responsibility for ICT risk on the management body, while Article 6 sets out the ICT risk-management framework itself. ISMS Copilot keeps that distinction exact when it helps you audit. It walks the Article 6 framework, its strategies, policies, and protection mechanisms, and checks that the Article 5 management-body oversight and approval are evidenced rather than assumed. It then audits the ICT third-party Register of Information for completeness and consistency against contracts, since incomplete RoI submissions are a common supervisory finding. It also reviews the Article 24 testing programme for scope and frequency. The AI prepares the workpapers and gap list; your internal auditor concludes and your management body owns the framework.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DORA Article 5 and Article 6?
Article 5 assigns ultimate responsibility for the ICT risk-management framework to the management body. Article 6 defines the framework itself. ISMS Copilot keeps the two distinct so the audit attributes responsibility correctly.
Does it help with the Register of Information?
Yes. It helps you audit the ICT third-party Register of Information for completeness and consistency against contracts before it goes to the competent authority, where incomplete submissions are a frequent finding.
Can it replace the internal audit function?
No. ISMS Copilot drafts the working papers and gap analysis for the Article 6 framework and RoI. Your internal auditor concludes and the management body retains responsibility under Article 5.
