TITLE: Denmark's Financial Supervisory Authority Issues Compliance Orders to DLR Kredit Following IT Security Inspection
BODY:
On April 22, 2026, Denmark's Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet) published an inspection report following an IT security inspection of DLR Kredit A/S conducted in autumn 2025. The inspection examined the institution's governance of IT security as regulated under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).
Finanstilsynet identified significant deficiencies across five critical areas of IT governance. DLR Kredit lacks a clearly defined and well-documented IT risk management framework, with unclear responsibility allocation between first and second lines of defence. The institution's IT preparedness governance is fragmented across multiple documents and organisational units, resulting in unclear accountability and incomplete business continuity and disaster recovery plans. Third-party risk management is inadequate, with not all critical third-party services risk-assessed and no uniform supplier monitoring methodology. IT incident management classification procedures are insufficient, and the digital operational resilience testing programme does not cover all relevant systems and critical suppliers.
These deficiencies present elevated IT risk, particularly regarding the identification and timely handling of material vulnerabilities and the potential for operational disruptions affecting DLR Kredit's customers and their ability to deliver mortgage services.
Finanstilsynet has issued five compliance orders requiring DLR Kredit to ensure adequate governance across IT risk management, IT preparedness, third-party risk management, IT incident management, and digital operational resilience testing. These orders reference specific provisions of DORA (Articles 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24–25, and 28–29) and related regulatory technical standards (RTS 2024/1772, RTS 2024/1774).
