About Dmitrii

DORA & IT/GRC | BCM | Outsourcing (MaRisk EBA) | Information Security

I’m an independent DORA and IT/GRC programme lead helping banks and financial institutions achieve audit-ready outcomes fast. I deliver time-boxed engagements with regulator-style evidence across Operational Resilience, Outsourcing (MaRisk AT 9/EBA), BCM (MaRisk 7.3/ISO 22301) and Information Security (ISO 27001/ NIST).

Why me

I cover three roles at once: DORA Lead, Outsourcing Manager, BCM Manager; so you avoid hand-offs and delays. I’ve sat on each side (IT, Risk, Security), so I connect requirement -> control -> test -> evidence -> report without friction.

- DORA compliance uplift
- Outsourcing management (MaRisk AT 9/EBA): register, contractual clauses, performance monitoring, exit strategies
- Business Continuity (ISO 22301): BIA, RTO/RPO, BCP, crisis playbooks, tabletop exercises
- IT Risk & Control: KRIs, test templates, monthly dashboards
- Regulatory reporting: board/CRO packs, audit responses, remediation tracking
