ICT third-party arrangements that satisfy Articles 28-30. Operational resilience by hardware. Attested incident evidence aligned with Article 17 reporting.

DORA scope

Who is in scope.

DORA has been applicable since 17 January 2025. It covers virtually every regulated financial entity in the EU plus their ICT third-party providers. AI inference providers serving financial workflows are ICT third parties under DORA, meaning the financial entity must contractually flow through Articles 28-30 obligations to the AI vendor, including audit rights, exit strategy and incident reporting.

  • Credit institutions
  • Payment & e-money institutions
  • Investment firms
  • Insurance and reinsurance undertakings
  • Crypto-asset service providers (MiCA)
  • Central counterparties and trading venues
  • Credit rating agencies
  • Crowdfunding service providers
  • IORPs and securitisation repositories
  • ICT third-party providers serving any of the above

Articles 28-30, ICT third-party arrangements

How TDX maps to DORA contractual obligations.

Article 30 lists the contractual provisions DORA requires from any ICT third-party arrangement. Most are organisational (location, audit, exit). Two are technical, confidentiality and integrity of data, and these are the ones most AI vendors struggle to evidence on standard infrastructure. Hardware sealing answers them with cryptographic proof per request.

Art. 28

General principles

EU controller (VOLTAGE EI, France). ICT risk management framework documented. Single point of contact for the financial entity.

Art. 29

Preliminary assessment of concentration risk

Sub-processor list limited to Targon (compute) and Chutes (TEE inference). Financial entity can substitute providers without losing TDX guarantees.

Art. 30(2)

Confidentiality of data

Intel TDX with AES-256 memory encryption and the GPU attached inside the trust domain. Operators technically incapable of reading prompts or inference outputs.

Art. 30(2)

Integrity and availability

Per-request ECDSA attestation bound to enclave measurement. Tamper-evident logs. Multi-region failover within EEA.

Art. 30(2)

Audit rights

Customer-verifiable attestation on request. Written audit reports on demand. Right of inspection via the financial entity's designated auditor.

Art. 30(3)

Exit strategy

Open-weight base models (Qwen3, DeepSeek). LoRA adapters returned encrypted with the customer's public key. No vendor lock-in on weights or data.

Operational resilience

Article 5 ICT risk + Article 17 incident reporting.

DORA Article 5 requires a robust ICT risk management framework. Article 17 mandates ICT-related incident reporting to competent authorities within tight deadlines. Attestation on request gives your incident responders an immediate, cryptographically verifiable timeline of every AI invocation, material evidence for the major incident classification under Commission Delegated Regulation 2024/1772.

Tamper-evident audit trail

Every request signed by the enclave. Forensics get cryptographic proof of what ran, when, and on which model version.

Provider-blind data path

The GPU host is a listed sub-processor outside the trust domain. A FISA 702 or CLOUD Act order against it returns ciphertext, not prompts.

Hardware-sealed integrity

CPU-fused memory keys block tampering even by a malicious hypervisor. The threat model assumes the host is hostile.

DORA FAQ

Questions financial entities ask.

Who must comply with DORA?

Credit institutions, payment institutions, e-money institutions, investment firms, crypto-asset service providers, central counterparties, trading venues, insurance and reinsurance undertakings, insurance intermediaries, IORPs, credit rating agencies, crowdfunding service providers, securitisation repositories, and ICT third-party service providers serving any of the above. DORA has been applicable since 17 January 2025.

Is an AI inference provider an ICT third party under DORA?

Yes. AI inference services that support, enable or contribute to a financial activity are ICT services under DORA Article 3(21). The financial entity must therefore flow through DORA Article 28-30 obligations to the AI vendor, including audit rights, exit strategy and incident reporting cooperation.

Does VoltageGPU sign DORA-aligned contractual provisions?

Yes. We provide ICT third-party agreements aligned with DORA Articles 28-30. Hardware sealing through Intel TDX directly evidences confidentiality and integrity. Per-request ECDSA attestation gives the financial entity a tamper-evident audit trail. Exit strategy is supported by open-weight base models and customer-encrypted LoRA adapters.

What about concentration risk under Article 29?

Our sub-processor list is limited to Targon (compute) and Chutes (TEE inference). Both EU-aligned, both substitutable. The hardware-sealing layer means the financial entity is not locked into any one provider, TDX attestation evidence is portable across compatible operators.

Could VoltageGPU become a critical ICT third-party provider under Article 31?

If we reach the thresholds set by the European Supervisory Authorities, yes, and in that case we would be subject to direct oversight by ESAs. The technical architecture (hardware sealing, EU jurisdiction, attestation) is already aligned with the obligations Article 31 designation would impose.

Security for Sensitive Data, Full Technical Details

The Confidential Agent Platform runs on Intel TDX (Trust Domain Extensions) hardware enclaves with NVIDIA H200 GPUs attached inside the trust domain (container tier: GPU confidential-computing mode not enabled there). The security stack: (1) Intel TDX encrypts RAM with hardware-fused CPU keys, the hypervisor is OUTSIDE the trust boundary and physically cannot access TD memory. (2) trust-domain GPU passthrough creates an encrypted CPU-to-GPU channel preventing bus snooping. (3) LUKS encrypted filesystem, decryption key released ONLY after successful remote attestation. (4) Remote attestation: Intel TD Quote (signed by a CPU-fused private key) verified against Intel public keys. The agent tier runs on confidential containers where GPU confidential-computing mode is off, so no GPU attestation report is produced there; that is available on single-GPU H200 Confidential VMs. (5) Post-quantum end-to-end encryption for prompts and responses. (6) Model verification cryptographically proves every output token came from the declared TEE model, defeating model substitution attacks. (7) Continuous monitoring with random integrity challenges and immediate node removal on failure. Real-time public attestation reports available. This is not software security, it is silicon-level isolation verified by Intel and NVIDIA hardware attestation. EU company (France), GDPR Art. 25, Intel TDX hardware attestation.

Not Limited to 9 Templates, Connect Your Own Agent

The 9 templates are starting points. Any OpenAI-compatible agent works: OpenClaw (247K+ GitHub stars), CrewAI (50K+), LangChain (100K+), or any custom agent. Change one line (base_url) and your calls to our TEE inference models run inside Intel TDX trust domains. The platform is an API, not a closed system.

Model Quality, Not Just LLM Output

Three model tiers: Free uses Qwen3-32B-TEE (32B params, 40K ctx), Plus / Team Starter / Pro use Qwen3.5-397B-TEE (397B MoE, 256K ctx, can ingest entire contracts), Enterprise uses DeepSeek-V3.2-TEE (reasoning model with chain-of-thought for CFA-grade analysis). The key differentiator is the TOOLS, not just the model. Tools are deterministic server-side code: the clause checklist runs exact IACCM/ABA rules, the risk score uses a fixed formula (critical x25, high x15, medium x8), the market benchmark compares against 12 real 2024-2026 deal data points. The LLM orchestrates which tools to use, but the tools produce exact, verifiable results. Model verification (cllmv) cryptographically proves every output token came from the declared TEE model.

Performance, No TDX Overhead in Practice

Intel TDX adds 3-7% overhead theoretically. In practice, VoltageGPU uses 8x NVIDIA H200 140GB (top-tier GPU) which more than compensates. Analysis completes in approximately 6 seconds. The warm-tdx system keeps enclaves pre-heated, zero cold start for subscribers. Per-second billing means you only pay for actual compute time.
