DORA Compliance Digital Operational Resilience Act
Ensure the operational resilience of your financial entity under the new European Union regulatory framework. We help banks, insurers, and ICT service providers mitigate digital risks and comply with European supervisory standards.
What is the DORA Regulation?
DORA is an EU regulation (Regulation 2022/2554) that aims to consolidate and harmonize network security and information system requirements across the entire European financial sector.
Unlike other regulations, DORA focuses not only on protection but on resilience: an organization's ability to resist, respond to, and recover from ICT-related incidents.
It applies to more than 20 types of financial entities and their critical ICT service providers, establishing a common framework for digital risk management.
The 5 Key Pillars
ICT Risk Management
Governance frameworks and robust control strategies.
Incident Management
Classification, reporting, and communication of major incidents.
Resilience Testing
Periodic testing and TLPT (Threat Led Penetration Testing).
Third-Party Risk
Strict oversight of critical ICT service providers.
Intelligence Sharing
Voluntary collaboration on cyber threats between entities.
Challenges in DORA Implementation
The transition toward digital operational resilience requires deep cultural and technical change.
Management Body Governance
DORA requires the management body to assume ultimate responsibility and maintain up-to-date knowledge regarding ICT risks.
Dependency Mapping
Identifying critical business functions and tracing their technological dependencies across a complex supply chain.
Strict Reporting Deadlines
Establishing processes capable of notifying major incidents to competent authorities within extremely short timeframes.
