When do the 2026 Guidelines apply?+
The final report leaves the application date as a placeholder, so it is still to be confirmed by the EBA. The Guidelines apply to arrangements entered into, reviewed or amended from that date, and existing arrangements are reviewed within a two-year transitional period. The 2019 outsourcing guidelines are repealed when the new ones apply.
Does the module cover our ICT providers?+
No. ICT services fall under DORA and are tracked in the DORA module. This module covers non-ICT arrangements. Both start from the same vendor register; the non-ICT arrangement details the Guidelines expect are tracked against this module's register requirements.
Do the Central Bank of Ireland requirements apply to us?+
Only if the Central Bank of Ireland regulates your firm. Its Cross-Industry Guidance on Outsourcing adds expectations such as board ownership, sub-outsourcing conditions and the outsourcing register return. Other firms mark those requirements not applicable with one recorded reason.
Can we use our existing evidence?+
Yes. Bring your policies and supporting evidence into Venvera and link them to the relevant controls. Cross-framework mappings help you identify reusable work; your team still reviews whether the evidence meets each requirement.
What is included in the trial?+
The 14-day Professional trial includes up to five frameworks and unlimited users, with no credit card required. You can explore the controls, assess gaps and organise your compliance work. Framework modules are on paid plans; compare plans for feature availability.
