CSSF 22/806 Readiness — DORA-Aligned

CSSF Circular 22/806 — ICT Risk Management for Luxembourg financial institutions. OneComply supports CSSF-focused governance, outsourcing readiness, circular evidence, and DORA alignment with explicit review boundaries.

What is CSSF 22/806?

CSSF Circular 22/806 is the Luxembourg financial regulator's (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier) circular on ICT risk management. It sets out requirements for how financial institutions supervised by the CSSF must manage their ICT risks.

The circular applies to all CSSF-supervised entities including banks, investment firms, payment institutions, and management companies operating in Luxembourg. It is closely aligned with DORA, so OneComply highlights reusable evidence and the CSSF-specific items that still need review.

Non-compliance can result in CSSF supervisory actions, administrative sanctions, and requirements for corrective measures. The circular requires annual ICT risk self-assessments and periodic CSSF reporting.

DORA Alignment With CSSF Review

CSSF 22/806 closely mirrors DORA ICT risk-management principles, but the overlap should not be treated as automatic legal compliance. OneComply maps reusable evidence and highlights the CSSF-specific requirements for customer and compliance review.
