Make customer experience part of your DORA programme.
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) requires regulated financial organisations to manage ICT risk and demonstrate that critical services can withstand, respond to and recover from disruption. CloudCX supports this work across customer-facing contact centre services.

What DORA is—and why it matters
Operational resilience is now a regulatory requirement.
DORA has applied since 17 January 2025. It creates a common EU framework for how in-scope financial entities manage ICT risk, report major ICT-related incidents, test resilience and oversee ICT third-party risk. For customer-facing operations, infrastructure uptime alone is not enough: customers must still be able to authenticate, navigate an IVR, reach the right team and complete important voice or digital journeys.
ControlKnow what changed
Track configuration activity, versions and drift across critical CX environments.
AssureProve journeys work
Validate complete voice, IVR, digital, chatbot and AI customer experiences.
DetectFind customer impact
Combine operational thresholds with scheduled synthetic journey verification.
RecoverRestore with confidence
Back up and restore configurations, then validate the recovered experience.
What DORA compliance requires
Manage, test, monitor and improve resilience continuously.
Compliance extends across governance, technology, people, processes and third parties. At a high level, organisations in scope need an ICT risk-management framework, formal incident processes, a risk-based resilience-testing programme, effective oversight of ICT providers and appropriate information-sharing arrangements.
01
ICT risk management
Maintain a documented, governed framework to identify, protect, detect, respond to and recover from ICT risk.
02
Incident management
Detect, manage, classify and record ICT incidents, with regulatory reporting handled through the organisation’s formal process.
03
Resilience testing
Run a proportionate, risk-based testing programme, remediate weaknesses and validate critical systems regularly.
04
Third-party risk
Manage ICT-provider dependencies, contractual risk, continuity arrangements and exit considerations.
05
Information sharing
Participate, where appropriate, in trusted arrangements for sharing cyber-threat information and intelligence.
How CloudCX supports DORA compliance
Apply resilience controls to the customer journeys people depend on.
CloudCX does not replace your organisation’s wider DORA programme. It supports it by helping contact centre and customer-experience teams control configuration risk, test important journeys, detect customer impact and validate recovery—with operational evidence produced along the way.
GOVERNControl configuration risk
How CloudCX helps
Track configuration changes, retain versions, compare environments, identify drift and promote selected Genesys objects through controlled release and CI/CD processes. Compare and merge Architect flows while maintaining an audit and compliance trail.
Operational evidence CloudCX can help produce
Audit history and change records
Version and environment comparisons
Release and promotion records
Configuration backup history
ASSURETest operational resilience
How CloudCX helps
Test complete inbound and outbound calls, IVRs, routing paths, integrations, web journeys, messaging, email, SMS, WhatsApp, chatbots and AI experiences. Automate functional, regression and release validation, then apply load and performance testing to see how journeys behave under demand.
Operational evidence CloudCX can help produce
Test execution and validation results
Recordings, logs and timestamps
Screenshots and failure diagnostics
Voice-quality and performance measures
MONITORDetect customer impact
How CloudCX helps
Monitor queues, flows, trunks, agents, routing, voice quality and digital channels. Scheduled synthetic interactions continuously verify that customers can connect, navigate and complete expected outcomes. A threshold breach can trigger a journey test to confirm whether an operational signal is affecting customers.
Operational evidence CloudCX can help produce
Alerts, thresholds and event timelines
Synthetic verification outcomes
Operational and journey-health history
Email, SMS, WhatsApp and webhook notifications
PROTECTBackup & disaster recovery
How CloudCX helps
Create versioned backups, restore selected configurations, synchronise environments and clone complete or partial Genesys organisations for testing and disaster recovery. After restoration, rerun automated journeys to confirm that routing, prompts, integrations and customer outcomes work again.
Operational evidence CloudCX can help produce
Backup and restore records
Environment drift comparisons
Recovery execution evidence
Post-recovery journey validation
How it works in practice
A repeatable resilience cycle.
Once your organisation has identified the critical or important functions in scope, CloudCX helps operational teams map the supporting customer journeys and CX dependencies, exercise them regularly and demonstrate recovery.
01
Define
Identify journeys and CX dependencies supporting critical or important functions, then set expected outcomes and recovery priorities.
02
Test & monitor
Validate journeys before release, under load and continuously in production.
03
Detect & investigate
Correlate change, test and operational signals to determine customer impact faster.
04
Recover & prove
Restore the required configuration and rerun journeys to demonstrate service recovery.
Supporting your wider DORA programme
Operational evidence created through everyday work.
CloudCX helps maintain a traceable record of how customer-facing CX services are changed, tested, monitored and recovered. This evidence can support internal operations, risk and audit teams, subject to your organisation’s own retention, governance and reporting requirements.
Change traceability
Who changed what, when it changed, how environments differ and which version can be recovered.
Test coverage
Which journeys and channels were validated, the conditions used and the result of each execution.
Failure diagnostics
Recordings, logs, screenshots, timestamps, quality measures and the precise point of failure.
Incident timeline
Operational alerts, correlated changes and synthetic tests that help establish customer impact.
Recovery readiness
Current backups, environment comparisons, restore activity and tested recovery procedures.
Recovery validation
Proof that routing, prompts, integrations and expected customer outcomes work after restoration.

What CloudCX does—and does not do
CloudCX provides technology capabilities that can support an organisation’s DORA compliance and operational-resilience programme. It does not itself certify compliance, provide legal advice, replace governance or ICT risk-management processes, maintain the organisation’s formal third-party register, assess contractual compliance, oversee providers, or submit regulatory incident reports. Applicability and compliance decisions should be confirmed with legal, risk and regulatory teams.
