What Is the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)?
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is an EU regulation designed to strengthen the cyber resilience of financial institutions and their critical third-party ICT providers.
It establishes a standardized framework for managing ICT risks, preventing operational disruptions, and ensuring financial sector stability.
DORA compliance requires firms to manage ICT risks, conduct resilience testing, enforce security frameworks, and establish incident response protocols. They must also monitor third-party security, report cyber incidents, and undergo audits to meet regulatory standards.
