The digital landscape has become integral to every aspect of our lives, from personal communication to business operations. However, with the benefits of technology come new challenges and risks, especially in the financial sector.
Cyber security threats, IT failures, and other operational disruptions can have severe consequences, from reputational damage to financial loss. The European Union (EU) has introduced the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) to address these challenges.
“Organisations that prioritise and implement digital operational resilience effectively will have a measurable and systematic method to identify and protect against threats and maintain continuity in the face of disruption. Let’s work towards building a secure and resilient digital infrastructure, for a sustainable future.”
– Lee Bristow, Chief Technology Officer at Phinity Risk Solutions
What is the DORA regulation?
DORA is a Regulation, not a Directive, so it is binding and directly applicable in all European Union (EU) Member States. Financial entities in the EU and their critical ICT providers must be ready to comply with the DORA regulation by January 17th, 2025.
The DORA regulation aims to strengthen the financial sector’s resilience to digital operational risks. It outlines a comprehensive set of rules for financial institutions. These institutions include:
- Banks.
- Investment firms.
- Payment service providers.
- Insurance companies.
- Financial platforms.
The DORA regulation covers various topics. These topics include the following:
- Cyber risk management.
- IT outsourcing.
- Incident reporting.
- Testing and assurance.
