Market Entry Sprint
Six to ten weeks. Narrowly-scoped EU-bank-customer renewal rebuild. Typical first engagement when one EU financial customer's renewal is the immediate pressure.

For US, UK, UAE, APAC fintech, AI infrastructure, and financial-services companies serving EU banks, insurers, payment institutions, and investment firms, where DORA enforcement began January 2026 and extends operational-resilience requirements to ICT third-party providers regardless of provider jurisdiction.
The ICT third-party provisions specifically reach providers outside the EU. A US AI company serving Deutsche Bank or BNP Paribas inherits DORA obligations through the customer contract. A UAE-based AI infrastructure firm serving an EU insurer is in scope. A Singapore-based payments AI vendor serving an Irish e-money institution is in scope.
Cross-border providers commonly arrive with US-shaped or jurisdiction-shaped MSAs and SOC 2 or ISO 27001 attestations that do not by default satisfy DORA's specific operational-resilience, sub-contractor-monitoring, and concentration-risk requirements. The EU financial customer's compliance team reads the existing trust posture and flags the gap inside the renewal cycle.
GMA does not provide legal compliance advice. DORA-specific compliance work is done by the client's own legal counsel and an EU-financial-services-compliance specialist. Counsel handles resilience-testing requirements, sub-contractor-monitoring legal structure, ICT third-party register filings, and Article-specific obligations.
GMA rebuilds the commercial layer that operates inside the compliance posture counsel has established:
ICT, AI, or fintech firm serving EU financial entities or pursuing EU-financial pipeline. Revenue band twenty-five million to two billion dollars. DORA compliance posture work underway with legal counsel. Commitment to commercial-layer rebuild.
Out of scope. Legal DORA compliance advice stays with client's counsel and an EU-financial-services-compliance specialist. Sub-contractor-monitoring system implementation stays with client's IT and counsel. ICT third-party register submission stays with the client's regulatory team.

See the Sprint →Three to six months. Cross-border ICT provider entering EU-financial-customer pipeline with DORA-aligned commercial layer across resilience-testing, sub-contractor-monitoring, and incident-reporting posture.
See the Build →Monthly retainer, twelve-month minimum. ICT providers operating ongoing EU-financial-customer base across multiple member states. Pricing is confirmed in discovery, not on the public site.
See the Partnership →GMA does not provide legal compliance advice on DORA. Resilience-testing requirements, sub-contractor-monitoring legal structure, Article-specific interpretation, and ICT third-party register filings stay with the client's counsel and with an EU-financial-services-compliance specialist firm. GMA does not implement sub-contractor-monitoring systems, does not submit ICT third-party registers, and does not interpret Article 28 obligations on the client's behalf. The commercial-layer rebuild operates downstream of the compliance posture counsel has set.
Yes, if your company serves EU financial entities as an ICT third-party provider. The Act reaches through the customer relationship.
They are useful inputs but not sufficient. DORA has specific resilience-testing, sub-contractor-monitoring, and incident-reporting requirements that go beyond SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Counsel determines the gap; GMA addresses the commercial layer.
DORA specifically targets EU financial entities and their ICT third parties. Non-financial cross-border companies face other EU regulations such as GDPR, the AI Act, and NIS2, but not DORA directly.
No. GMA does not provide legal compliance advice. DORA-specific compliance work is done by the client's own legal counsel and an EU-financial-services-compliance specialist.
Inquiry through the contact form and a discovery conversation. Sprint, Build, and Group Partnership are available. Pricing is confirmed in discovery, not on the public site.
