#### **Overview**

In our Copla Platform, each control and task is linked to DORA and RTS/ITS requirements - this ensures full regulatory traceability and helps auditors and regulators clearly understand your compliance coverage.

---

#### **How to Read the Control Tags**

Example notation:

**D\_A12.1 / 1774\_A8.2b(i)**

- **D** – Refers to **DORA** (Digital Operational Resilience Act).
- **A12.1** – Refers to **Article 12.1** of DORA.
- **1774** – Refers to the number of the **RTS (Regulatory Technical Standard)**.
- **A8.2b(i)** – Refers to **Article 8.2(b)(i)** of that RTS.

This means the control is mapped to **DORA Article 12.1** and the corresponding **RTS Article 8.2(b)(i)** in RTS **1774**.

In some cases, you will see **only DORA** or **only RTS** references. This happens when the requirement originates solely from one of those sources.

---

#### **What This Means for You**

- Each **control** and **evidence item** is mapped to the exact **DORA Article(s)** and **RTS/ITS provisions** it addresses.
- This **traceability** ensures auditors and regulators can see **which evidence covers which part of DORA**.
- You will also be able to view **coverage metrics** — a percentage view of how much of DORA your current evidence covers.

---

#### **What You Need to Do**

You can **continue uploading evidence as usual**. All existing tasks already align with DORA requirements — we are simply improving the structure and labels to make the compliance mapping clearer and easier to follow.
