The ESAs announced the designation of critical ICT third-party providers under DORA on 18 November 2025, and Google states that Google Cloud EMEA Limited together with its subsidiaries was designated and assigned a dedicated Lead Overseer, adding that CTPP oversight does not replace a customer's own responsibilities under DORA.

Why it matters

Supervision of the provider is not a substitute for the financial entity's own register, contract terms and exit plan — a point the provider itself makes in writing.
