Posted by Is Your Organization Ready for a Digital Revolution in European Finance?
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is already reshaping the digital landscape for financial institutions across the European Union. In effect, since January 2025, DORA has introduced strict requirements to combat cyber threats and enhance operational resilience. If you’re in the financial sector, it’s essential to understand how this regulation impacts your business and to ensure your organization is fully aligned with its requirements.
DORA provides a clear and unified framework for managing ICT risks across the EU. It focuses on four key areas:
-
Risk Management
-
Information Security
-
Crisis Management and Reporting
-
Third-Party Provider Requirements
These pillars are designed to help financial organizations and their technology partners respond to and recover from digital disruptions quickly and effectively.
The regulation has a wide reach. It applies to banks, insurers, payment processors, investment firms, crypto-asset service providers, and their third-party ICT vendors. By replacing inconsistent national rules with a single EU-wide standard, DORA promotes fair competition and enhances overall digital resilience.
With DORA now in effect since January 2025, organizations must ensure they are fully compliant. Review your cybersecurity policies regularly. Strengthen your incident reporting procedures and confirm that your third-party providers meet all regulatory requirements. Staying proactive will help you avoid disruptions, reduce risk, and maintain trust in an increasingly regulated environment.
Don’t wait. Prepare now to stay ahead.
