Complying with ISAE 3402, DORA and NIS2: Control Test Results and Compliance

Compliance is no longer just a checklist. In a digital world where regulations such as ISAE 3402, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), and the NIS2 Directive set increasingly higher requirements for resilience, auditability, and incident reporting, compliance has become an integral part of software quality. But how do you demonstrate that your organization meets these requirements without slowing down the development process?

The complexity of compliance in testing

Many organizations run into the same bottlenecks when it comes to the testing process. It’s often unclear which tests are linked to which changes and compliance requirements, leading to poor traceability. Documentation is manual, time-consuming, and error-prone. Test information is scattered across different tools, teams, and systems, which clouds the overall picture. And when an audit is imminent, there is no direct access to the required evidence.

Test results as the key to demonstrable compliance

What if compliance didn’t mean more administration, but actually delivered a strategic advantage? By making test results structurally and in real time traceable, you create an automated system for evidence. You maintain control over digital resilience, are always audit-ready, and make audits much simpler. This is precisely where Orangebeard comes in.

Orangebeard: automating your compliance process

Orangebeard helps organizations demonstrably comply with ISAE 3402, DORA, and NIS2—without adding extra work. Test results are automatically recorded, linked to (code) changes and compliance requirements, and prepared for auditors. This creates full traceability, with insight into which tests were executed when, by whom, and with what result. Audit trails are built automatically, and real-time dashboards provide immediate visibility into test outcomes, deviations, and security issues.

Reports are aligned with the requirements of the various standards and enable you to respond quickly and in a structured way to requests from regulators. Orangebeard documents security scans and testing activities fully automatically, which is essential for complying with DORA and NIS2 in terms of demonstrability.

Works seamlessly with your existing tools

A major advantage of Orangebeard is the smooth integration with your existing workflow. Whether you work with Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps, the connection is easy to set up. In addition to test automation tools such as Selenium, Cypress, Robot Framework, Playwright, and so on, security scanning tools like OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, and many others are supported. Test frameworks, security tools, and issue trackers such as Jira integrate seamlessly, so your compliance automation does not disrupt your development process and you can provide a complete audit trail.

Compliance as a strategic advantage

Organizations with strong compliance stand out in the market. By automating processes with Orangebeard, you shorten audit cycles, stay continuously in control of your software quality, and reduce compliance costs. At the same time, you minimize the risk of fines and reputational damage. You build trust with customers, regulators, and partners while maintaining control over digital security and agility.

Compliance thus becomes not only an obligation, but also proof of maturity, reliability, and transparency.
