DORA Logging and Detection Requirements (Article 10) and SIEM Evidence

Article 10 is where DORA meets the SOC. Financial entities must have mechanisms to detect anomalous activities promptly, including ICT network performance issues and ICT-related incidents.

Evidence theme: Supervisors look for continuous detection capability tied to critical functions — not a SIEM logo on a slide. Logs, use cases, alert handling SLAs, and escalation into major-incident classification should be demonstrable.

What “Good” Looks Like

Centralised logging for critical ICT assets and identity systems
Use cases covering anomalous behaviour, privilege abuse, and availability signals
Documented triage / escalation into ICT incident management
Retention and integrity controls sufficient for forensics and reporting packs

Link to Reporting Clocks

Detection quality determines whether you can meet the awareness backstop for major-incident initial notification. See 4-hour / 72-hour / 1-month deadlines.

SIEM Role

A SIEM/SOAR platform such as ThreatHawk is a common way to evidence Article 10 — provided content packs and on-call coverage match critical functions. Tools alone are insufficient without trained responders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Article 10 mandate a specific SIEM vendor?

No. It requires effective detection mechanisms. SIEM/MDR is a common implementation path, not a named-vendor mandate.

Is log collection enough?

No. Prompt detection implies analytics, alerting, and human response paths — collection without detection use cases fails the intent.

How does this relate to Articles 5–16?

Article 10 is one component of the ICT risk management framework spanning Articles 5–16.
