The Connector. podcast - DORAedge by Performativ

In this episode of the Connector Podcast, we talk with Marissa Weiss from Performativ, a Copenhagen-based wealth tech company that’s quickly become a key player in helping financial institutions meet the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) requirements. Marissa shares how Performativ’s standalone platform, DORAedge, is helping firms not just check the boxes but build meaningful operational resilience.

One of the key topics in this episode is the Register of Information (ROI), a foundational part of the DORA regulation that many firms struggle to complete. Marissa explains how Performativ supports financial institutions—ranging from independent wealth managers to global insurers—in mapping their ICT supply chains and identifying critical third-party providers. The ROI isn’t just a spreadsheet exercise; it’s a comprehensive, multi-tabbed template that requires firms to demonstrate how their systems interact and what backup plans exist during a service disruption. DORAedge turns this compliance burden into a living, dynamic database, enabling ongoing monitoring and transparency throughout the year.

The episode also explores the wide-reaching impact DORA has across business functions. This isn’t just a compliance or IT issue—Marissa highlights how governance, procurement, legal, vendor management, and risk teams are now expected to work together. DORAedge’s collaborative features enable these cross-functional teams to align their efforts with clear documentation, access control, and real-time oversight of third-party relationships.

Incident reporting is another critical pillar. Marissa explains how DORAedge’s end-to-end incident management module enables regulated entities to meet tight reporting deadlines, such as submitting an initial report within 24 hours and a final resolution report within 30 days. Beyond reporting, the platform stores incident data, helping firms identify recurring issues with vendors and improve long-term resiliency.

Another highlight is DORAedge’s policy module. Rather than asking firms to hunt through dozens of DORA articles, Performativ provides mapped controls for each policy type, such as third-party risk management or business continuity. Users can upload their policies, compare them to DORA’s requirements, and identify gaps using a built-in large language model (LLM). Marissa points out, “Compliance is still a human responsibility—tech should support, not replace, good judgment.”

Looking ahead, Performativ continues to enhance DORAedge with features that support larger, multi-entity firms. The goal: make DORA compliance scalable, collaborative, and fully integrated with an institution’s day-to-day operations. From real-time financial integrations like Enable Banking to faster loan disbursement and partner connectivity, the platform is evolving to help financial institutions comply and operate more efficiently and transparently.

In summary, this episode of the Connector Podcast provides practical insights into how DORA is reshaping compliance operations—and how Performativ’s DORAedge is helping firms meet that challenge head-on. Whether you're a lean wealth management firm or a global financial institution, this episode will help you understand what’s required, what’s at stake, and what tools are available to support long-term resilience.
