In today’s digital-first world, cyber resilience is no longer optional—it’s a regulatory requirement.
With cyber threats rising and operational disruptions becoming more frequent, the European Union’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is stepping in to fortify the financial sector.
🔹 Deadline for compliance? January 17, 2025.
🔹 Who does this apply to? Banks, insurers, investment firms, payment providers, crypto-asset service providers, and their third-party ICT service providers.
💡 Why is DORA a game-changer?
For the first time, financial entities and their tech vendors will be legally required to prove their ability to withstand, recover from, and adapt to cyber threats.
So… what does this mean for YOUR business?
🔎 Key Pillars of DORA Compliance
1️⃣ Strengthened Cyber Risk Management
Under DORA, financial institutions must implement:
✅ Advanced risk assessment frameworks
✅ Continuous security monitoring
✅ Penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks
🔹 Why this matters: Cyberattacks aren’t just a risk they’re an inevitability. Firms must proactively identify vulnerabilities before hackers do.
🚀 Your move: Is your cybersecurity framework tested and resilient?
2️⃣ More Stringent Third-Party Risk Oversight
DORA doesn’t just apply to financial firms, it extends to their entire supply chain.
If you rely on cloud providers, SaaS solutions, or IT vendors, their security risks become YOUR risks.
🔹 What’s changing?
✔️ Mandatory due diligence on IT vendors
✔️ Continuous monitoring of third-party security
✔️ Stricter contractual obligations for tech providers
🚨 Key takeaway: If your IT partners lack resilience, your entire business is exposed.
💡 Pro Tip: Have you assessed your vendors’ security posture this year?
3️⃣ Faster & More Transparent Incident Reporting
🚨 Cyber incidents must now be reported FAST.
Under DORA, firms must:
✔️ Detect and classify cyber incidents immediately
✔️ Report serious breaches to regulators within tight deadlines
✔️ Document & analyze every security event to strengthen defenses
🔹 Why this matters: Cyberattacks don’t just cost money—they cost trust.
💡 What’s next? Ensure your incident response team is trained and prepared.
4️⃣ Mandatory Digital Resilience Testing
Think your cyber defenses are strong? DORA will put them to the test.
Financial firms will now be required to:
