Monitor insider activity. Detect anomalies. Respond to incidents. ALL-IN-ONE

DORA covers risks in the financial sector from using information and communications technology (ICT). The regulation aims to ensure financial entities have adequate protection, detection, containment, and recovery capabilities against ICT-related incidents.

Who needs to comply with DORA?
DORA applies to a wide range of financial entities operating within the European Union, including credit and payment institutions, investment firms, financial market infrastructures, and entities that provide critical third-party services to organizations in the financial sector.
DORA compliance is mandatory, meaning that affected financial entities operating in the EU will be legally obliged to comply with DORA requirements. Financial entities that are physically located outside the EU may also be subject to DORA if they provide services within EU borders.
Note: Refer to Article 2 of DORA for more information about the entities it applies to.
The key purpose of DORA compliance
The primary aim of DORA is to enhance the operational resilience of financial organizations.
Operational resilience is the ability of a financial entity to build, assure and review its operational integrity and reliability by ensuring, either directly or indirectly through the use of services provided by ICT third-party service providers, the full range of ICT-related capabilities needed to address the security of the network and information systems which a financial entity uses, and which support the continued provision of financial services and their quality, including throughout disruptions.
The Digital Operational Resilience Act
By developing DORA compliance requirements, the EU aims to help financial organizations to:
Effectively mitigate risks
Manage security incidents
Enhance resilience against threats
Handle third-party risks
Exchange experience within the sector
Note: Refer to the final text of DORA to learn more about all the requirements.
