ICT concentration risk, measured and filed-ready

We take the vendor list from your Register of Information, measure where each ICT third-party service actually runs (hosting, DNS, CDN, e-mail) and deliver a dated assessment your auditor can trace back to its evidence. Fixed price, paid by invoice.

What the assessment answers

Concentration per layer

Herfindahl-Hirschman index of your vendors per infrastructure layer, with the providers behind the shares.

Single points of failure

Providers that carry several vendors marked critical or important, with an outage scenario for each.

CTPP exposure

Which of your vendors run on providers the ESAs designated as critical ICT third-party providers (list of 2025-11-18).

Jurisdiction

Where endpoints are served from and where the providers are headquartered: EU/EEA or third country.

Incidents and expiry

Public incident history of the providers in your chain, and certificates or domains close to expiry.

Register annex

Machine-readable register and evidence tables (CSV) to reconcile with your own Register of Information.

Validation pilot: three places

Our accuracy figures so far come from public sources. To measure how well outside-in mapping matches a real register, we offer the Audit file at half price to three institutions that let us compare against theirs.

  • Everything in Audit file
  • We compare our mapping with your Register of Information, row by row
  • You receive the comparison; we publish only anonymised, sector-level accuracy figures
  • Requires your written consent to that comparison and publication

What this is and is not

  • An outside-in measurement of public infrastructure. It does not see contracts, sub-outsourcing chains you have not disclosed, or internal systems.
  • It supports your own assessment under DORA Art. 28 and 29; it is not a certification and does not replace your judgement or your auditor's.
  • We need only vendor names or domains. No customer data, no credentials, no access to your systems.

Questions

What does DORA require on ICT concentration risk?

Before entering into a contract on ICT services supporting critical or important functions, financial entities must assess whether it leads to ICT concentration risk, including whether the provider is not easily substitutable and whether several contracts depend on the same or closely connected providers (Art. 29 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2554). Art. 28 requires a strategy for ICT third-party risk and a register of information on all contractual arrangements.

How do you measure concentration?

For every vendor we resolve the endpoints and determine the hosting, DNS, CDN and e-mail provider from public DNS, routing and certificate data. Per layer we compute the Herfindahl-Hirschman index (0–10,000) over vendors, and separately over vendors marked critical.

How is this different from a security rating?

Security ratings score a vendor's own exposure. This assessment shows which shared providers your vendors depend on, so you see where one outage hits several critical functions at once.

What do you need from us?

The list of ICT third-party service providers, ideally with the ones supporting critical or important functions marked. An export of your Register of Information or a spreadsheet is enough.

How fast is the first report?

The measurement itself runs in minutes. The report is ready once the scope is confirmed and the list is prepared.
