Secure your financial entity with expert guidance on new digital resilience regulation
What is DORA?
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a regulation introduced by the European Union to elevate the digital operational resilience of financial services. This act mandates that financial entities and their critical information and communication technology (ICT) third-party service providers comply with stringent requirements to manage and mitigate ICT risks. By enforcing these standards, DORA aims to ensure that financial entities can continue to operate even in the event of systemic cyberattacks, thereby protecting the stability of the financial system. DORA reflects the EU's commitment to safeguarding its financial infrastructure and enhancing the resilience of financial entities.
To comply with DORA, financial entities must address five core areas that support digital operational resilience. These requirements help organizations withstand ICT disruptions, protect critical services, and contribute to a more secure financial ecosystem. Detailed explanation of each area can be found in our whitepaper.
