DORA change documentation guide

For financial-sector firms subject to DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act), this doc summarizes how Driftbase supports change and incident documentation for AI systems.

What DORA expects

DORA requires that critical business services (which can include AI-driven systems) have change management, incident reporting, and documentation so that regulators and internal teams can understand what changed and when. That includes documenting significant changes to how systems behave.

How Driftbase helps

• Behavioral change documentation — Each deploy can be accompanied by a drift report showing what changed in behavior (tool usage, latency, decision rates, errors) between the previous and new version.
• Timestamped audit exports — Exports are timestamped and can be retained for regulatory review.
• No raw content — Documentation focuses on behavioral and structural signals, reducing data-protection and confidentiality risk while still supporting resilience and change oversight.

Use drift reports and audit exports as part of your change and incident documentation. Confirm with your compliance team how they map to your specific DORA obligations.
