Four entities completed the full NORA cycle with us, several reaching Level 4.

Four government entities reached Level 3 and Level 4 of NORA accreditation with us.
The DGA awards NORA accreditation to entities that apply the national EA methodology across four assessment axes and 22 requirements. The entity runs the seven-stage EA Components Development Cycle and operates the six reference models (BRM, BXRM, DRM, ARM, TRM, SeRM). Five levels run from general awareness at Level 1 to sustained practice at Level 5. We start with a readiness assessment and stay with the entity through the formal DGA review and reviewer-comment response.
Identify the current level and gaps to the target.
Initiatives tied to the four assessment axes.
Run the seven-stage cycle and build the six reference models.
Mock assessment and fixes before the formal review.
Walk through the DGA review and reviewer-comment response.
Four entities completed the full NORA cycle with us, several reaching Level 4.
The General Model, EA Viewpoints document, and reference models come as battle-tested templates, not workshop outputs.
In the reviewer-comment response phase, we draft the first version of every response before the internal review.
Level 1 to Level 3 takes 12 to 18 months. Reaching Level 4 needs another 18 to 24 months of sustained practice.
Level 3 requires consistent methodology application. Level 4 requires measurable results, with major decisions clearly informed by EA outputs.
Part of the DGA's drive to standardise EA practice. The Qiyas index assesses EA under axis 5.3 of the core standards.
Treating accreditation as a documentation exercise. The entities that succeed build genuine practice and tie decisions to it.
Yes. Periodic EA audits, re-assessment preparation, and moving to the next accreditation level.
A two-week readiness assessment locates your current and target level and sets a clear path before any later commitment.
