Questions buyers ask

Is Paylocity DORA compliant?

CertReports does not decide that. It shows the public evidence that may support each DORA requirement that reaches vendors: evidence was found or is available on request for due diligence before contracting (Article 28(4)), appropriate information security standards (Article 28(5)), business contingency plans for critical functions (Article 30(3)(c)), and nothing public was found for locations of services and data, assistance with ict incidents.

What should I ask Paylocity for?

Request where data is hosted and processed, incident response and notification, and confirm each is current.

This maps third-party obligations to the vendor evidence that may support them. It is not legal advice and never a statement that a vendor or its customers comply; confirm scope and sufficiency with your counsel or auditor. “No public evidence” means nothing public was found at the last check. Citations link to the official text.

Requirements reviewed 21 Sep 2026. The vendor lists the evidence on its trust centre behind a request or NDA; ask for it.
