What is DORA?
The “Digital Operational Resilience Act”, commonly known as “DORA”, is a European Union regulation that aims to strengthen the digital operational resilience of the financial sector in a context of deep digital business transformation and an increased exposure to cyber and IT risks. The regulation came into force on 16 January, 2023 and will be applicable from 17 January, 2025 across all EU member states. Operational Resilience is a challenge for financial service firms and the sector as a whole. Given the increase in cyber attacks and the interconnected nature of the financial system the profile of digital operational resilience has been elevated significantly.
DORA introduces very specific and prescriptive requirements that are homogenous across EU member states. Organisations need to be able to withstand, respond and recover from the impact of ICT incidents, thereby continuing to deliver critical and important functions and minimising disruption for customers and for the financial system. This is only achievable by establishing robust measures and controls on systems, tools and third parties, by having the right operational continuity plans in place, while testing their effectiveness on a continuous basis. Five core pillars of the regulation play an important role: ICT risk management, management of ICT incidents, digital operational resilience testing, management of third parties and information exchange.
