DORA Mandate

The DORA Mandate:
Operational Resilience at the Core

A New Era for Digital Resilience

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), effective January 2025, brings sweeping requirements for digital risk governance in the EU's financial sector.

Banks, insurers, investment firms, and ICT providers must now prove they can prevent, respond to, and recover from ICT disruptions — internally and across their supply chains.

DORA introduces five key compliance pillars

  • • ICT Risk Management
  • • ICT-related Incident Reporting
  • • Digital Operational Resilience Testing
  • • ICT Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM)
  • • Information and Intelligence Sharing

For compliance, financial entities need more than static playbooks — they need scalable, smart infrastructure to keep pace.

Why DORA Is Challenging

Even large institutions are struggling to:

  • • Interpret dozens of articles and cross-map them to existing controls
  • • Update legacy contracts to meet new legal standards
  • • Monitor ICT suppliers in real time
  • • Generate consistent, audit-ready evidence on demand

Manual processes can't keep up with regulatory expectations or the speed of business.
