Which regulation takes precedence

EU law does not lay down a universal precedence rule between Data Governance Act and DORA. In practice three resolution approaches apply: lex specialis (the more specific provision wins when both purport to govern the same conduct); regulator guidance (EDPB, EBA, ESMA and the AI Office have all issued joint readings on overlapping articles — check the most recent applicable opinion); and document the choice (when the regulations leave the call to the controller, the audit defence is your written reasoning, not the regulator's silence). Where the corpus surfaces a conflict rather than an overlap, treat that as an escalation path to legal — not a control-design question.

What this means for your compliance team

Treat the 1 overlaps as design opportunities — one control, two regulatory anchors. Treat the 0 conflicts as escalation paths to legal: the regulations themselves don't resolve them, you do, and you document the reasoning. The 0 gaps point at scenarios where one regulation is silent while the other speaks — assume the regulator who has the explicit rule will win.
