The European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA – ESAs) today kicked off a joint recruitment process for Heads of Unit (AD9) in the Joint Oversight team that was set up to carry out the oversight of the Information and Communication Technology Critical Third-Party Providers (CTPPs) under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).
The Heads of Unit, who will be assigned to each ESA, will be part of the DORA Joint Oversight Team.
To ensure cross-sectoral coordination and pool resources, the ESAs will carry out oversight activities of critical third-party providers (CTPPs) in a Joint Oversight team working as one team, headed by Marc Andries, the DORA Joint Oversight Director.
The Joint Oversight team will eventually be made up of 30 staff across the ESAs and will be complemented by experts from the Competent Authorities (CA) .
The Heads of Unit will be responsible for organising the oversight activities for the CTPPs under their Unit’s remit. Each Unit will regroup several Joint Examination Teams (JETs) dealing with the main types of ICT services provided by CTPPs.
