Summary of Register of Information Regulatory Packages
The Register of Information (RoI) is a regulatory reporting requirement under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) aimed at financial entities. It involves submitting structured data packages to regulators to demonstrate compliance with DORA. These packages include detailed information about legal entities, third-party service providers, contracts, and functions. The RoI aligns especially with DORA’s pillars on ICT third-party risk management and incident reporting, integrating third-party risk data managed through ServiceNow’s Digital Operational Resilience capabilities.

From version 21.1.x onward, third-party assessors can generate regulator-ready RoI packages using the Plain-CSV Report Package option. These packages are ZIP files structured according to European Banking Authority specifications and include metadata and reports named with entity identifiers and release version details. This supports automated validation workflows and ensures compliance with EU DORA regulations.
Key Features
- Data Capture and Reporting: The Digital Resilience Third-party Information Register captures necessary data on entities, contracts, functions, and third parties, generating CSV reports aligned with regulatory requirements.
- Validation Workflows: Automated technical, schema, and business rule validations ensure data accuracy and regulatory compliance. Validation results trigger email notifications to request initiators with attached reports for any errors or warnings.
- Role-Based Access: Role-specific permissions enable third-party risk administrators and assessors to manage validation logic, configuration files, and RoI requests securely within the Vendor Management Workspace.
- Configuration and Maintenance: Administrators can maintain DPM business validation rules and configuration files (e.g., report.json, reportPackage.json) to customize validation logic and reporting consistency.
- Currency Conversion and Aggregation: Optional features allow standardized currency conversion and aggregation of third-party total expenses during report generation, without altering underlying source data.
- Download Options: Users can download Excel master templates for data preparation and internal review or Plain-CSV packages for regulator submission and compliance validation.
Practical Use for ServiceNow Customers
ServiceNow customers using the Vendor Management Workspace can efficiently manage and automate the generation and submission of RoI packages to meet DORA compliance. The platform simplifies gathering third-party risk data, validating submissions against regulatory standards, and managing the entire reporting lifecycle securely through designated roles.

The Register of Information (RoI) is a regulatory reporting requirement under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and is supported by the Digital Resilience Third-party Information Register application in the Vendor Management Workspace application.
RoI overview
The RoI is a structured data package that financial entities must submit to regulators to demonstrate compliance with DORA. It includes information about legal entities, third-party service providers, contracts, and functions.
Starting with version 21.1.x, third-party assessors (sn_vdr_risk_asmt.vendor_assessor) can generate regulator-ready RoI packages using the Plain-CSV Report Package option on the download page. The ZIP file includes metadata and report folders structured to regulator specifications, with file names containing LEI, entity ID, and release version. This enhancement ensures EU DORA compliance and supports automated validation workflows. You can follow the guide provided in the Instructions section on the Download/Upload request page for step-by-step instructions and required permissions.
The RoI framework is designed to align with DORA’s five pillars, particularly ICT third-party risk management and incident reporting. TPRM contributes third-party risk data that is included in RoI packages generated by Digital Operational Resilience capabilities. These RoI packages follow the European Banking Authority’s structure and validation requirements.
After validation completes, the system automatically notifies the request initiator by email and attaches the validation report when errors or warnings are detected.
Currency conversion and aggregation
During report generation, you can enable optional currency conversion and third‑party total expense aggregation. These options standardize or combine annual expense values in the reporting package. These options affect only the generated reporting package and do not modify source records in the digital resilience registers.
