EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)

The EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) establishes a unified regulatory framework to strengthen digital risk management in the financial services sector. DORA ensures that financial institutions and their third-party IT providers can withstand, respond to, and recover from cyber and operational disruptions.

FAQs

DORA is an EU regulation that establishes uniform requirements for the digital operational resilience of financial entities, ensuring they can withstand and recover from ICT-related disruptions and cyber threats.

DORA applies to a wide range of financial institutions—including banks, insurers, investment firms, and crypto-asset service providers—as well as their critical third-party IT service providers.

DORA’s framework includes: IT risk management, incident reporting, digital operational resilience testing, information and intelligence sharing, and ICT third-party risk management.

DORA officially applies starting January 17, 2025, and affected entities must be fully compliant by that date.

DORA addresses gaps in digital risk regulation by requiring organizations to ensure end-to-end operational resilience, particularly as cyber threats and tech dependencies grow more complex.

Critical IT providers to the financial sector will be directly regulated under DORA and must meet stringent requirements for service continuity, security, and incident handling.

Noncompliance may lead to regulatory penalties, restrictions on IT outsourcing, reputational harm, or even loss of authorization to operate in certain EU jurisdictions.
