Deutsche Börse AG (”DBAG“) is authorized to operate the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under its exchange license.

In accordance with the EU COM Guidance, DBAG does not consider the core services (such as the operation of a trading system) to be ICT services within the meaning of DORA.

Additionally, in accordance with the EU COM Guidance, DBAG considers its services providing connectivity to its trading venues not to be ICT services within the meaning of DORA.

Accordingly, we consider it not necessary to amend existing contractual arrangements in this respect.

We are closely monitoring the further development of the DORA legislation and the associated administrative practice.  
 

For clients of Deutsche Börse AG, your first point of contact is client.services@deutsche-boerse.com. As reference, please mention the market, your Member ID, and the Service you are referring too.

The Vendor Access Agreement is addressed to vendors. The services under the Vendor Access Agreement are not made available to financial entities. Therefore, the DORA requirements for ICT third-party service providers do not apply.

Due to high inquiry volumes, we cannot fill out individual questionnaires. Please refer to our website, customer portal, or industry sources like the commercial register or SWIFT Registry. To make this convenient to you, sources incl. download links are made available by e-mail on request.

It is one of our main goals to apply the highest security standards to protect our systems and ensure stable market and clearing environments. In order to assist our customers with their due diligence, we have already made a comprehensive catalogue available on request and soon also in our Member Section (under Resources > Compliance > Information Security).
