Article 48 Cooperation between authorities

Summary What does Article 48 of the DORA regulation say?

This is a short, focused article that sits within the broader supervisory cooperation framework of DORA.

It establishes the obligation for competent authorities to cooperate closely with one another and, where relevant, with the Lead Overseer.

It then specifies that this cooperation must be supported by the timely mutual exchange of all relevant information relating to critical ICT third-party service providers.

The article directly supports the oversight regime established under Article 31, ensuring that the Lead Overseer's tasks are underpinned by effective information flows from national competent authorities.

Important points:

Competent authorities are required to cooperate closely among themselves and with the Lead Overseer.
Competent authorities and the Lead Overseer must exchange all relevant information concerning critical ICT third-party service providers in a timely manner.
The information exchanged must cover identified risks, approaches, and measures taken as part of the Lead Overseer's oversight tasks.
